I was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.

My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

Making the record was tons of fun, the most fun I've ever had.

And I've been walking 'round with memories way too long.
