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

I like rules that are broken.

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.

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

The world has changed a lot since I started making records.I used to go into a studio and there were songs there, chosen for me to see if I liked them. I wasn't encouraged to write.

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

I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
