Musician

I was raised in South Alabama in the woods, y'know? I'm country.

All I do is party.

If you think too much about something, you're not feeling it.

I write about what I know.

I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.

I just don't conform very well.

I like to make great albums.

I just had it with the corporate money, money, money label thing.

Sometimes a song that didn't make one record will stay in my head for so long and just won't go away. I take that as a hint to keep 'em close and not forget about them.

Sure I got a mouth on me.

I didn't go to college.

I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.

I was an opening act for 10 years.

So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.

It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.

I'd like to thank my parents for always stressing, be an individual.

The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.

It's time for artists to take their music back.

I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.

I'm comfortable in my miseries. I have no choice.
