It's Hard For Thee To Kick Against

I Used To Sing Bill Monroe Songs. And I'd Sing Dennis Day Songs Like Songs That He Sang On The Jack Benny Show.

By The Time I Actually Recorded Bitter Tears I Carried A Heavy Load Of Sadness And Outrage; I Felt Every Word Of Those Songs... I Expected There To Be Trouble With That Album, And There Was.... When It Was Released, Many Radio Stations Wouldn't Play It.... The Very Idea Of Unconventional Or Even Original Ideas Ending Up On "country" Radio In The Late 1990s Is Absurd.

When I'm Gone I'll Be Remembered As The Workin' Man Who Put His Point Across With A Right Hand Full Of Knuckles.

I Was Wearing Black Clothes Almost From The Beginning. I Feel Comfortable In Black. I Felt Like Black Looked Good Onstage, That It Was Attractive, So I Started Wearing It All The Time.

People Ask Me Who Is My Favorite Country Artist. I Say, You Mean Besides George Jones.
