I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.
If you're really on top, you probably didn't do that great, 'cause you have to water it down a bit for it to get that mass appeal
I can fall in and out of love, have marriages that barely last a month. When they go down the drain, I'll blame it on the fame.
I can't see this world unless I go/ outside my southern comfort zone.
I have a to-do list and I have a farm I care for, and things I like to do for fun - going to movies and all that stuff. It's a painfully normal life!
I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.
Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.
Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my Dad. Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari, on the way to rehab.
We're all about trying to play better every night, not just singing hit songs ... we ad lib, and every night there's jamming .. it's almost like the Grateful Dead meets Buck Owens some nights, because we'll go off on little adventures and sometimes we do crash the bus!.
I go to eat dinner with my folks when I'm home. I think that's the trick.
Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.
... there are a lot of shredders in country music - Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Dan Huff .. and guys like that
Pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land, and the foundations of their faith. People go to Washington, D.C. to see the workings of government, and the foundation of our country. And fans flock to Nashville to see the foundation of country music, the Grand Ole Opry.
Someday I'm gonna be famous. Do I have talent, well, no. These days you really don't need it.
She's a yellow pair of running shoes, a holey pair of jeans. She looks great in cheap sunglasses, she looks great in anything. She's, "I want a piece of chocolate cake; take me to a movie." She's a, "I can't find a thing to wear." Now and then she's moody. She's a Saturn with a sunroof with her brown hair blowing. She's a warm conversation I wouldn't miss for nothing. She's a fighter when she's mad and she's a lover when she's lovin'.
You think back to Tele players, and James Burton was the one who started it all. He inspired Roy Nichols (guitar for Merle Haggard & the Strangers), Don Rich (guitar for Buck Owens & the Buckaroos), and guys like that to push the envelope and expand on that sound...

I'm aware of the fact that a lot of talented people out there will never get this chance.
It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.
I really worked to try and be creative enough on the guitar parts so those who aren't real educated would know that there was some difficulty in doing it.
If I get an idea for a song, I have a melody for it. I'm a musician first. I'm not limited by the fretboard.
