cut promised tried
With this album, I tried not to think too much. If I heard a song that I loved, I promised myself I wouldn't over-think it. If I loved it and if I wanted to cut it, I would.
figuring year
I don't have any idea what I'll do next. This year I'll be figuring that out, and something will just come to me, just like it did with this record.
amount bar feels
Having that amount of nominations makes me a little nervous, because you feel that the bar is really high, the expectations are really high, but it also feels great.
people want i-can
I want to reach as many people as I can
music thinking guitar
So you do shorter versions of the hits, or you take out a long guitar solo or things like that to make time for the hits and new music as well. But I don't think any of us ever get to do as much new music as we would like to.
music country thinking
I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.
music trying different
But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.
music country texas
And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.
wise song cutting
I'm not afraid to go out on a limb, style-wise or with lyrics. I don't ever want to be afraid to cut those types of songs because radio might not play it.
careers venture wells
We have never seen a career like George Strait's in this business, and I venture to say we never will again. He has handled things amazingly well.
player down-and vans
There's no great guitarist that doesn't sit down and listen to Chet Atkins and Eddie Van Halen, and all these other great players.
names should decided
The one who actually decided that I should keep my name was my manager, Erv Woolsey.
people firsts nervous
My first big show was with Tim McGraw and Mark Chesnutt, and that was overwhelming. There was probably 25,000 people there. I was nervous, (but it) was exhilarating.
mom home thinking
It's hard either way, at home or on the bus, I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.
