All I'm really interested in musically is trying to make concept albums. Serving a larger sum than the parts.
It's a long road, so we are just trying to stay focused and grounded and keep moving forward. I'll take it, though.
Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley - guys like that were huge influences.
I tried to make a honky-tonk country record - rough-hewn, cut fast, and all analog - like I wasn't hearing anymore.
Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.
I pretty much just hang out with the kid. I want, like three more, because that's all I ever want to do.
I someday hope to find the time and coin to invest more of my creative energy towards the visual media side of releasing music.
Even with most finite planning, you never know what the final result will reveal itself to be until it's staring back at you.
There are no expectations other than those I place on myself to be a great father and husband.
You can embrace nostalgia and history and tradition at the same time - it has to progress or it can't survive.
I've always played music. But you know, in eastern Kentucky, everybody plays music.
Elvis was a way bigger influence than Waylon Jennings, but you don't wanna tell people, 'I never really listened to Waylon.'
My wife thinks I'm crazy.
Saviours get crucified.
I could go back to the railroad. I liked that job.
I love tape. It's another member of the band, the way it settles and blankets everything.
I knew I loved playing bluegrass, so I'd end up down there on Sunday nights at the bluegrass jam.
I just can't sit down and write three verses and a chorus and a bridge anymore. It just don't find it inspiring.
I had a great job with the railroad, a good salary.
I fail to see how anything can still be weird in 2016.
I didn't graduate from college, so I might as well be on Atlantic Records, right?
Fewer and fewer bars are doing live music. Instead it's more DJs and dance parties.
Back home, playing music is never anything you imagine you can do for a living. It's what you do after work.
