steps
I don't really take a step back too often to see what's going on
country campfire farms
I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.
play people able
Touring allows me to play material that isn't on the album and that they wouldn't be able to hear otherwise. I love it. It's the most legitimate way to acquire and sustain an audience of people who are interested in your music.
song moving writing
I could tell it was a popular move as a writer to walk down the bass lines while you were writing a song.
splits
I like to do the splits onstage
artist car drug
Things take a little more time when you're not doing really obvious sales. I don't have any nudity in my videos, or anything close to it, and I don't have shootouts or explosions or car chases ... There aren't a bunch of drugs in the videos and I am not wearing hot pants, and I don't dance. So, as far as videos or anything visually is concerned, I'm not a very visually stimulating artist.
real thinking soul
I think listening to real classic soul material made me learn how to feel music that's sung
ego handle
I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success
player animal guitar
You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.
jumping height way
Sometimes the only way is jumping; hope you’re not afraid of heights.
chance take-a-chance
I took a lot of time to open myself up to taking chances musically
