People Have Allowed Me Into Their Homes,

I'm Easy Like Sunday Morning.

Country Music Has Always Been About As Close To R&b As You Can Possibly Get. We're Storytellers.

I Just Like People. I'll Hold A Conversation At A Gas Station. It's Not About The Fame And The Fortune, I Just Like People.

It's Quite Interesting That In My Growing Up I Had Several Influences. We Had Gospel Music On Campus. R&b Music Was, Of Course, The Community, And Radio Was Country Music. So I Can Kind Of See Where All The Influences Came From.

Country Is Bringing In A Little Rock Element... A Little '80s Element. Melody Is King Now. But Its Just In The Music, Its Not So Much In The Songwriting, Which Is Still Very Basic To The Storytelling Aspect Of It.
