Songs Aren't Owned By Anyone.

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.

When I Learned To Play Music, I Was Listening To Blues Music. And All The Blues Music I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down. And Then All The Hip Hop I Liked Was Super Simple And Stripped Down And We Always Heard That Connection.

A Grammy Is Really Nice, But Having Lots Of Fans Is Really Nice, Too. I Think Just Getting A Record Out Is A Success On Its Own.

It's Hard To Be Spontaneous When You Have 40 People In Your Crew, And You're Playing To 16,000 People Every Night, And There's Giant Lighting Rigs, It's Hard To Change Direction On A Dime.

When I'm Writing With Just An Acoustic Guitar, It Can Be For Anyone.
