Willie Nelson, out there 200 days a year, calls his band family. And it is.
Pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land, and the foundations of their faith. People go to Washington, D.C. to see the workings of government, and the foundation of our country. And fans flock to Nashville to see the foundation of country music, the Grand Ole Opry.
I can't see this world unless I go/ outside my southern comfort zone.
The nice thing about the world that I've been able to inhabit for the last couple of years is that I'm given a lot of freedom. Not all artists really get that.
I try to write like the writers I admire - I rip them off in form. It comes from George Strait and Merle Haggard records, and country music in general is really good at that, the twisted phrase... So Im always looking for that angle in my own work.
If I get an idea for a song, I have a melody for it. I'm a musician first. I'm not limited by the fretboard
If you fall in love with somebody, then you're not even worried about your bills. Love can take your mind off of anything.
When every memory has been made and the pages start to fade. And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound. When you think the ride is over, you're back at the beginning. Love is never-ending.
If there's a song where there's a possibility of guitar stuff that would be fun to listen to, go for it. Don't worry about what anybody thinks.
I'm a last-minute shopper. I end up at the mall or somewhere on Christmas Eve. It's a shame.
I changed my mindset and figured, Why not try to be really entertaining instrumentally?
I imagine there's a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff.
She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. She looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. She's, "I want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." She's a, "I can't find a thing to wear." Now and then she's moody. She's a Saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. She's a warm conversation I wouldn't miss for nothing. She's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.
I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.
