Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.
I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.
I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.
Just can't wait to get on the road again
