Life Doesn't Get More Real Than Having

I Think Right Now, You've Seen These Artists Pop Up Over The Last Decade Who've Flirted With Branching Together A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. Some Of Them Have Been Huge, And Sold Millions Of Records. And I Think Over Time It's Become A Little Bit Of What The Industry Can Be.

There's Just A Lot Of People That Hold On To What Country Means To Them. I Love Fiddle, I Love Steel, But I Don't Think It Should Be A Rule That It Has To Be Used In Every Song. I Think That's Not What Defines Or Makes Country Music.

In The Digital Age We're In Now, With Satellite Radio And Pandora And Stuff Like That, It's Not About, "i Listen To This Kind Of Music." It's About, "i Listen To Good Music And Bad Music."

I Have A Huge Chip On My Shoulder.

The Key To Songwriting Is Just To Be Able To Observe, And Put Yourself In Situations To Be Around People, And Let Those Ideas Come To You.
