Oklahoma's Always Been Good To Me.

I Think I've Always Approached Making Albums Pretty Much The Same Way. I'm Just Looking For A Mixture Of Songs And Topics That Aren't The Same Thing Over And Over.

I Didn't Realize Until I Was Older What A Huge Music Fan My Daddy Really Was, And Actually That My Grandma Played Banjo At One Time, And I Didn't Even Know That Until A Year Or Two Ago.

The Fan Base That I've Had All These Years Has Come Along. Some Of Them Are Not As Plugged Into The Digital World, So They Want To Go Out And Buy The Cd At Walmart Or Something.

Hee Haw Was Probably My Biggest Exposure To Live Music At A Young Age, Because There Wasn't Any Live Music Around My Town And No One In My Family Played Instruments.

"after 17" Is A Song I Wrote When My First Daughter Went To College, So That's Kind Of Where I'm At In That Part Of My Life. If You Listen To That Song And Knew Anything About Me, You'd Say, "oh Yeah, He Wrote That About His Daughter," But I Try Not To Write Them That They Are So Specific That They Wouldn't Apply To Anybody That Has A Child.
