I'm not a mass-appeal artist.

Country artists have advantages all over the place. The radio support is incredible. The fanbase is rabid, all over.

My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.

I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.

I'm not afraid to be bluntly honest in my songs, even if it means I'm discovering things about myself that I'd rather not.

The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.

Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
