It is so killer to collaborate with someone who gets what you're trying to say.

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

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

Ben [Peeler] and I have known each other for a decade. He trusts my crazy ideas and spontaneous combustion and he gets the players I want and knows the kind of personality players I like. He has taste that I trust and that to me is more important than any technical things.

I love being a gypsy and getting on the bus with the band making sounds for the people who love and enjoy a night of Americana and good times.

I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.

You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
