I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It's always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return. There's room for all kinds of influences be it pop, blues, gospel or whatever. But I will always say that I think we need more traditional country music coming down the pike.

For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a persons soul at peace with everything and everybody around her.

I'm singing. I'm a singer!

I never had peace of mind.

I never thought I'd be a good influence on anybody with anything I did or said or sang.

I love finding songs, going through them, tearing them apart, and seeing if I can find anything wrong with them.

I was in church a little bit as a very young kid, but, as they say in the South, 'it didnt take.' None of it took with me.
