I have been waiting a long time for this. It's been my dream forever. Now that it's a reality, I love it. I haven't been burnt out at all and I have a bunch of guys with me that feel the same way.

I think the great country songs mixed with some of that bluegrass instrumentation - and surrounding all that with a little bit of a rock vibe and energy - is the kind of music I make.

I'm a member of the George Jones fan club, and I'm a member of U2's fan club.

George Strait is the king and Kenny Chesney is about as big as it gets right now, though I wouldnt mind going back out on the road with him. Maybe I could go out on the road with some singers from other genres.

Blackberry Smoke is the real deal!

Country music has always been the best shrink that 15 bucks can buy.

And if I want to get involved in choosing sides, I usually pick hockey or football.
