One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.

Let us love God my brothers, let us love God. But let it be with the strength of our arms and the sweat of our brow.

And if I'm honest about it, I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is like '92, right in the throes of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I think I probably wanted to be Kurt Cobain.

Go to the poor there you will find God.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.

Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night.

I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
