I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.

I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.

I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.

I get asked sometimes 'What's the highlight of my career?' because I've been doing it for so long, and I always have a hard time coming up with something, because so many good things have happened.

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are simply the best band that ever was.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records. And I wanted everything that went along with it.

I think 'Beyond the Blue Neon' is the best I've ever done.
