I have a to-do list and I have a farm I care for, and things I like to do for fun - going to movies and all that stuff. It's a painfully normal life!

Even in your darkest moments, you'll think of something that'll crack you up.

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.

I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.

... there are a lot of shredders in country music - Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Dan Huff .. and guys like that

I'm aware of the fact that a lot of talented people out there will never get this chance.

Anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.
