I love home. I'll stay up there for days on end, I won't even go down the driveway to look for the mail.
I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
I wanted to pay tribute to my musical influences: Buffalo Springfield, Lightfoot, the Beatles, the Hollies.
I always try to give my songs as gifts.
I went to college as a theater major. But after about three weeks of that, I changed to the school of fine arts as a painter.
I was playing in bands before high school even. My first band I was in at 14. And we were playing just Beatles.
I love Don Williams records, and old Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe.
I kinda threw the spotlight away from me for a little while.
I fell in love with Nashville. I got lots of work.
I feel it right down in my stomach when I'm in touch with something. I don't know what it is.
I don't really pay enough attention to what other people are doing.
I'm not 20 years old any more. I'm not gonna go out on quite the limb I did.
I've always got about four albums in my head.
The dogs, and home, privacy is my constant.
