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.

You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.

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

This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.

I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.

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