Well, more than me saying to the rest of the country music industry there is not enough traditional country music - that is not necessarily the statement in truth. I think more so that I, me, missed it more than anything else.
Well I think in all the thirty years I`ve been doing this now and being gone from home and all that stuff it`s really, it`s not about what I`ve achieved and if I`ve become a better player, or played better ten years ago than I do today.
This record for the first time - feels like a record that really represents my whole entire life and instead of just a period of my life. And it is really kind of eye opening and it makes me feel really good to hear this record and hear all the years.
This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It`s what I perceive as country music is about.
When all is said and done the only thing you`ll have left is your character.
