The Issues That Matter To Me Are

I Grew Up In Louisiana, And I Grew Up With A Dysfunctional Family With Some Very Serious Abuse From My Stepfather, Who Could Be A Very Beautiful Person On One Hand And Be Terrible On The Other, So It Leaves Your Soul Troubled As A Child.

For Me, There's A Tremendous Challenge Of Singing With Faith, Who, In My Opinion Is One Of The Best Singers In The World. She Doesn't Get Enough Credit For Being As Good As She Is. She's So Beautiful That People Look Past Her Singing. But For A Journeyman Like Me To Keep Up With Her Is A Real Tough Sprint.

I Didn't Want To Play A Rancher. I Didn't Want To Have A Cowboy Hat On; I Wanted To Get Away From That In The Things I Do. But I Read The Script And Fell In Love With It. As Hard As I Tried To Say No, I Couldn't.

I Try Not To Worry About Other People's Music. But If There's One Thing That I Hear These Days, It's That People Try And Put [music] Down So Tight That They Take All The Color Out Of It.

Better Than I Was, More Than I Am And All Of This Happen By Taking Your Hand And Who I Am Now Is Who I Wanted To Be And Now That We're Together I'm Stronger Than Ever I'm Happy And Free
