When old Bobby does Elvis, you swear it's the real mccoy. Another Friday night in the life of a country boy.
When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.
I grew up in east Tennessee, and everybody knew everybody's business.
I have 120 employees on the road every day, and about 30 other employees off the road.
I need to recharge creatively, and get off the clock of having to be somewhere just because, and having to keep juggling all these things.
I remember making up songs in my head.
I live on a boat two months out of the year, and if I did not have that then I don't know how I'd be able to handle all this.... I am a very intense person on stage. I have to remember why I am there, what I am doing. You can spend all day backstage preparing for the show and lose sight of why you are doing this. Off stage, I am a very simple kind of guy. I live my life in flip-flops.
I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.
Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists.
I want to spend more time with my family.
There's this emotion we all feel of being overwhelmed at times, feeling that you can't get ahead. For me it's self-imposed because I'm so driven and I'm always going from project to project.
I'll admit I'm a workaholic.
He had a voice that was the truth, raw and unfiltered. You can't get any realer, any more tortured or any more alive. No one can do what George Jones does, and that's why 50 years later, he still stands out as one of the greatest singers in any genre of all time.
