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.
I thought the song would be a hit, but this is something else. It has taken on a life of its own. I?m just standing on the side letting it be.
People get passionate about a song. It's been my experience if you put out radio candy, something commercial, it doesn't sell records.
I only record songs that I really like and believe in and can sing with conviction.
When I'm singing a song on stage, I hate hypocrites. If you don't put yourself in that lyric and emote and be what that lyric says that you are, then you're just going through the motions and you're being hypocritical. I just take that same approach with acting. I just take the dialogue and I emote it and become that. I use the same technic.
We're here for him, ... He's been coming here for years. It was a family tradition.
I went to a Grammy party the other night. I had all these British dudes coming up to me, just patting me on the back. ... It was one of the strangest experiences of my life.
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.
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.
Who knew? I figured if people could stomach it, it would do good.
I don't think most people are aware of what a contribution to the sound of country music Buck had.
In the little bitty town, everyone knows what you're doing.
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,
