I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.

I was raised in South Alabama in the woods, y'know? I'm country.

I write about what I know.

I have always wanted to see what the vibe was like and I was right It's on the Vermillion Bayou.

So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

I wasn't encouraged to write just stand there and sing and I never thought I was a writer. I always figured if I couldn't write something as good as "He Stopped Loving Her Today," then what's the point?

My thinking brain never stops my creative brain never stops so they wrestle a lot and get in fights sometimes they fight in the night and keep me up.
