I've been in that situation many times, telling people why country music is important, and this is my chance to stand up for this genre.
If you look at it as trying to broaden the appeal and kind of get out of the box and maybe reach some people who otherwise don't become exposed to country music, it could turn out to be a really good thing,
I don't think most people are aware of what a contribution to the sound of country music Buck had.
I know there are a lot of country music fans in New York City but the problem with doing a show in New York City is its very difficult to promote,
New York City is a notoriously hard market to perform country music in.
I love playing the CMA Music Festival each year because it's one of the very best audiences you could hope for. It's one of the places you can perform where you know everyone there is a big Country Music fan.
Country music fans are the best everywhere and they've always made me feel like I'm at home, no matter what zip code I'm in. I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for blessing me with such an incredible career that I truly enjoy.
There would always be some drunk who couldn't go home without a good beating. I'd try to talk him out of it.
Who knew? I figured if people could stomach it, it would do good.
Like tonight, I've got to go on stage, and man, my stomach has been hurting a lot, ... I'm dreading it. My gut's been cramping up, and it's burning, and I pretty much just want to sit here. When you hit the stage, you don't have the luxury of acting like you don't want to be there. You have to be on.
Shoot, we go through hundreds of songs to find 12, ... It's like that on every album that I do.
It's great to be able to get up there now and do an hour or 75 minutes of songs they're familiar with.
We're here for him, ... He's been coming here for years. It was a family tradition.
We started hearing from folks who have family members deployed, and 'Arlington' was making them feel uneasy and more apprehensive than they were feeling, ... I can understand that.
