Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.

No compression or as little as possible - that's how you get a good recording.

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere, time don't matter to me. I'm a thousand miles from nowhere and there's not place that I want to be.

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

The congregation that I was raised in was one that sang and a non-instrumental fashion. It was all a cappella singing, and so that had a major influence on me.

Buddy , you might think that I've lost my mind. But mister, I'd pay twice to do it one more time.

I was raised in the Church of Christ, which was a very abstinent faith. And I just didn't [drink] - there was never anything that I found seductive enough, I guess, to have a romance with it.
