In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.

Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.

I'll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am.
