You just write about things that happen.

Hee Haw was probably my biggest exposure to live music at a young age, because there wasn't any live music around my town and no one in my family played instruments.

I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.

I've had several working-man songs that I like.

I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.
