Country Music Has The Great Stories.

Long As I Was Riding In A Big Cadillac And Dressed Nice And Had Plenty Of Food, That's All I Cared About.

I Sing The Songs That People Need To Hear.

That's Where It Begins And Ends For Me And These Songs Were The Ones That Touched Me The Deepest. It Was Like I Was Laying Hold Of Some Part Of Me That I Didn't Even Know Was There Until I Let It Out.

Johnny Guitar... Just One Of My Favorite Singers Of All Time. I Met Him When We Were Both On The Road With Johnny Otis In The '50s When I Was A Teenager. We Traveled The Country In A Car Together.i Would Hear Him Sing Every Night.

Jazz Took Too Much Discipline. You Have To Come In At The Right Place, Which Is Different Than Me Singing The Blues, Where I Can Sing, 'oh, Baby,' If There's A Pause In The Melody. With Jazz, You Better Leave That Space Open, Or Put In Something Real Cool.
