artist who-i-am broken
For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.
country rocks band
The biggest question I have is if you're a rock singer or a rock 'n' roll band, or if you're a pop singer if you've made your way in another genre of music and now you want to make a country record, why? That's my question. Why?
thinking years play
I think it is a huge honor to get to go play for the troops who have been working their tails off for several years, some with several tours under their belt.
artist littles albums
If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.
fighting thinking doe
I've certainly had to bite my tongue on occasion and live to fight another day, so to speak, on certain things. But when you're new and fresh, you come out and think, 'I don't want to screw my chance up, so I'll go along with what everybody else does.'
winning nominations firsts
Winning the ACM, winning the CMA, my first time on the Opry and having Grammy nominations were all a big deal to me.
country rocks risk
The risks are 'How country can you go?' rather than 'How rock can you take it?'
real mind different
Life on the road is very different from a normal, day to day life, and sometimes that surrealistic existence can have an effect on you, you tend to forget that's not really how things are supposed to be. But there comes a point where you have to pace yourself and find a place in your mind where you can be real.
independent firsts records
My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.
opportunity parent be-good
We have a good opportunity to be good parents right now.
enjoy
I enjoy my life very much.
married hold-me slips
I married a woman who's not going to take anything. No slips. She's very accountable, and she holds me very accountable.
thinking artist long
I think every artist would love to just please themselves musically all day long.
country baseball thinking
I think it's a natural fit, major league baseball and country music.
