...you think back to Tele players, and James Burton was the one who started it all. He inspired Roy Nichols (guitar for Merle Haggard & the Strangers), Don Rich (guitar for Buck Owens & the Buckaroos), and guys like that to push the envelope and expand on that sound... I really identify with that kind of thinking ... those guys to me are the reason why any of us do this..
When they say you're the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.
There ain't a woman in the world that wants to hear the word yes when she asks if you think that she looks chubby in that dress. And if she cooks all day you better eat it with a smile; it doesn't matter if it tastes just like bad gravy on a Goodyear tire.
If there's a song where there's a possibility of guitar stuff that would be fun to listen to, go for it. Don't worry about what anybody thinks.
Even in your darkest moments, you'll think of something that'll crack you up.
I go to eat dinner with my folks when I'm home. I think that's the trick.
I don't stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go.
I want to impress everybody who bought a $30 ticket to the concert.
I'm excited for people to hear the album. I'm looking forward to them being able to pop it in their car radio and listen to it, ... I'm not even worried about it at this point. I'm done now. I told the people at the label, 'It's up to you guys now. I'm going on vacation.'
I know who the people are who come to my shows and buy my records now. It's always a good thing to think of those faces when I'm picking songs for a show or an album. I really do want to please them, these wonderful people who finance our 'dream.' In that way it can be a good thing, all this attention. You know your fans better.
I never thought I'd be singing this for my friend.
I don't have any interest in doing something that's weak musically.
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.
