A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song... somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.

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

He's written some great songs. I thought that "Blues Man" was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.

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.

A country song is a song about life.

It's a scary word, 'cancer.'

I'm usually just enjoying life.
