My earliest memories of country music are the Grand Ole Opry.
I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.
People have allowed me into their homes, through my words and my music.
Soul is a feeling, not a color.
Today we've learned to celebrate mediocrity. Back in the day we had creative artists; today we have created artists.
When will we ever learn, there's nowhere else we can turn.
