I don't think most people are aware of what a contribution to the sound of country music Buck had.
I've been in that situation many times, telling people why country music is important, and this is my chance to stand up for this genre.
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.
They know who I am, where I come from, what I'm about. I go out there and it is what it is. If I feel like doing something, I do it. If I feel like saying something, I say it. If I feel like dancing, I do. If I don't, I don't.
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.
This is basically an advertisement for your farm, ... The dairy industry isn't in great shape right now. The economy is putting the hurt on everybody, so you do everything you can to promote your business.
In the little bitty town, everyone knows what you're doing.
There would always be some drunk who couldn't go home without a good beating. I'd try to talk him out of it.
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.
Shoot, we go through hundreds of songs to find 12, ... It's like that on every album that I do.
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,
Who knew? I figured if people could stomach it, it would do good.
Country music fans are the best everywhere and they've always made me feel like I'm at home, no matter what zip code I'm in. I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for blessing me with such an incredible career that I truly enjoy.
