Quotes about:

• I was trying to learn how to deal with the freedom that I had away from home for the first time. 'Long Black Train,' the song and the album, are very special to me. It was just one of those things that I felt like God gave to me for a purpose, and I've been out here promoting that purpose.

• My manager came up with the idea of taking a Pro Tool rig out on the road to record every night and I thought it was a great idea.
