Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.

Albert Lee and I have become real close friends, and he comes out anytime I'm in the L.A. area, and he'll sit in for the whole show ! ... we've got a habit of doing that ... in Austin Redd Volkaert does the same thing ... it's fun ... I love to make it a guitar thing and the audience doesn't know any different - they think he's some new band member they don't know. They don't realize Albert's the reason we all play Teles!.

I changed my mindset and figured, Why not try to be really entertaining instrumentally?

If you fall in love with somebody, then you're not even worried about your bills. Love can take your mind off of anything.

Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.
