How little is required for pleasure! The sound of a bagpipe - without music, life would be an error.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.

My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

I want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.
