It should feel a lot like my other albums that way, in that it's a progression and there are different themes and you go from one topic to another and it feels a little bit like a life journey, I think.
Unless you're a true prodigy, you're going to have to practice for a while being bad before you get any good. And it will seem like a waste of time. I remember that feeling well. But don't worry about wasting time, because it'll be so worth it. It's my experience that in the end, life lessons and guitar lessons begin to blur in all sorts of interesting ways.
Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.
You can't kill it with goodbye; It always finds a place to hide inside your heart for your whole life. Love is never-ending.
My life would be very puzzling to most people if they had to follow me around for a day or two.
When I made 'Who Needs Pictures,' my first album, I had been west of the Mississippi River one time in my life, and that was in fourth grade. We traveled to California for vacation and stayed with some friends of my parents. It was culture shock, and it was different.
My father's a firefighter. He was my whole life. And my brother-in-law and several family members are firefighters.
I can't help but include some of the lighthearted stuff. I guess that's the way I observe things. My favorite saying is, 'If you're going to laugh about something later, you might as well start now.
I don't know where I get it from. My family has no sense of humor, none. It's a genetic mutation, I guess. I tried drawing naked pictures when I was in the third grade. You'd have seen how funny my mom was then. Or when I took a bat to a car my dad had been buffing all day. He's not funny.
Buck gave birth to a movement. At the time when he came through, his music was so different. He was a maverick in the true sense of the word.
I don't have any interest in doing something that's weak musically.
Some artists would rather go in there and let some other things dictate the kind of record they do, but I've got such a great team.
There are many things I can improve on. I'm challenged every day, and I still want to work hard and earn what I've been afforded.
It surprises a few people, we have a full string orchestral intro on the album. I think this album is what a sequel should be. It goes to a new place.
