• Country music is about new love and it's about old love. It's about gettin' drunk and gettin' sober. It's about leavin' and it's about comin' home.

• Record stores are the backbone of the recorded music culture. It's where we go to network, browse around, and find new songs to love.

Any artist that doesn't support the wonderful ma and pa record stores across America is contributing to our own extinction.
