I'm Supposed To Make People Cry, But

I Think It's Obvious That Democracy Is Something That Is Contagious, And It Always Has Been.

By The Time I Wrote Those First Three Songs For His New Cd ... I Wanted To Push The Poetics As Hard As I Could Push Them, And Not Decide The Songs Were Finished Until I Committed Them To Whatever The Recording Format Was. I Went Through Drafts Right Up Until I Recorded Every Single One Of Them.

I'm From Texas. I Hitchhiked To Tennessee When I Was 19 Years Old, And It Is Really Beautiful In Tennessee.

Having A Child At 55... That's Optimism.

I Don't Care What's Happening In The Mainstream Of Country Music. I Haven't In A Long Time.
