I Didn't Get Into Music To Become

There Are People Out There Who Are Into Traditional Country Music And For Those People You Have Artists Like Brad Paisley And Josh Turner And Alan Jackson. Then You Have Artists With A Progressive Style Of Country Music, Like Myself And Eric Church And Luke Bryan And Miranda Lambert.

To Me, A Critic Is Someone Who Gets Paid For Their Opinion, And They're Entitled To That Opinion But I Don't Really Put A Lot Of Stock Into Their Opinion. I'm Going To Cut The Kind Of Records And The Kind Of Songs That I Like, And The Kind Of Things That I Enjoy Doing. If Critics Dig It, That's Fine, If They Don't, That's Fine.

I Think From An Artist Standpoint, You Have To Put Out Music That You Feel Like Represents You And Things You Feel Like Your Crowd Wants To Hear. And If That Drives Them To Go And Download The Album Or The Single, That's What We Want.

I Don't Think I Really Have Any Wisdom. Stay Out Of Trouble. Good Luck. Stay Away From Women Because They Will Burn You, Haha.

Now One Thing I Think Is Really Lame, Is If You're An Artist And You Go To A Karaoke Bar And Sing Your Own Song. I Like To Get Up There And Sing Stuff That I Would Never Sing On Stage Anywhere Else. Like Neil Diamond.
