I only took about five guitar lessons in my life from an actual teacher. I learned fast that that wasn't for me. I didn't have the attention span to learn that way. So I learned the basics from my dad, then just from playing on stage, and watching other guitar players.

I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.

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 for artists to work together. It's great for fans to see, like, Ludacris came out to our show in Atlanta and kinda made a surprise appearance there, it shows a mutual respect for what each other does.

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

Alabama - they were the masters of that. They could come out with 'Mountain Music' or 'Tennessee River' and then turn around and come out with 'Feels So Right.' Go out and have fun and be those guys that like to party, then turn around and make every woman in America want Randy Owen.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.
