My band can tell you, I'd rather do anything than rehearse.

I have my songs ready in my head, gather the guys, play it and then let them go with it. [The music] finds its way, we do what the music says to do......the song is the producer.

Imagery is the most important to me when singing stories. I try to paint pictures with the words and decorate with little to no singing....let the song do the work.

The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.

Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.

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

I am a late starter. I like to go on into the night when it's quiet and everything has shut down. I find that's where music and minds open in the dark.
