In country music, one of the ways we may have gone wrong in the past is trying to be politically correct all the time.
People are scrambling to figure out how they can prolong the life of an album. But as long as the shelf space continues to shrink at retail, there's just no room for them anymore... which is fine with me! I would love to be the next person in country to just release digital singles, but I think we're probably a little ways from that.
When you start dating another country star, the first question is, 'When are y'all gonna do a duet?' And what sucks about that is people expect you to do it whether you want to or not.
One of my all-time favorite country singers is a guy named Conway Twitty.
My favorite songs to sing have always been songs about regret. I don't know why that is, but to me, that's country music.
My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it - they know I love to perform.
I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.
I'm a country artist first and just happen to be on television doing it.
I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.
Country music has to evolve in order to survive.
I probably have the crappiest tattoo - not only in country music - but maybe the world.
As a country singer, there is only one place you dream of playing in your lifetime, and that is the Grand Ole Opry House.
If you're callin' about my heart, it's still yours.
What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.
