I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.

I am very picky about my people and my beer.

I can't stand too long of a record.

I can't tell you how freeing it is to have my own label. For the first time in my career, I have total control.

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

It's time for artists to take their music back.

I don’t have a problem baring my emotions in music. That’s one of the reasons I’m glad to have music in my life. I’m pretty resilient as far as being a human being. A lot of songs write themselves.
