I've been wearing Wrangler jeans for more than a decade now, all the way back to when I first started playing clubs in my teens in Georgia.

Capricorn was one of the homes of the Southern rock movement with the Allman Brothers and Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band. I don't think you can come from that area and not be influenced by that stuff a little bit, no matter what generation you grew up in.

I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'

I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.

If you say, 'I'm going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,' well, then you're going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Macon has such a rich musical history - and the state of Georgia, as well.
