Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.

I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.

I've always enjoyed playing live onstage.
