I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.

What has changed is that nothing has changed... that's what has made me more unhappy than everything else.

I use vaporizers a lot. It cuts down on the heat and the smoke. And for a singer that's not a bad idea.

Every now and then I'll think of something to put back in the show. I just kind of play it off the top of my head. If I do it that way it keeps it kinda fresh.

It was and is always nice to work with the kids.

Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

I believe that all roads lead to the same place - and that is wherever all roads lead to.
