I Try To Record Music That People

I Had No Idea 'big Green Tractor' Was Going To Be As Big A Hit As It Was. You Just Can't Predict Those Things.

Now One Thing I Think Is Really Lame, Is If You're An Artist And You Go To A Karaoke Bar And Sing Your Own Song. I Like To Get Up There And Sing Stuff That I Would Never Sing On Stage Anywhere Else. Like Neil Diamond.

My Mom Was A Single Mom, And She Had Enough On Her Plate. I Knew When I Was Doing Something I Wasn't Supposed To, And I Tried To Keep Her From Finding Out About It. I Did A Pretty Good Job Of That.

Obviously When You're Making Music, You Want It To Get Out To As Many People As Possible. You Want To Reach As Many People As You Can.

If You Can Go Out With Your Live Show And Turn People On To That, Where You Have That Fan Base That's Religious And They're Going To Come See You When You're In That Town, Once Your Radio Success Is Gone And You're Not A Mainstream Guy Anymore You Can Still Go Out And Play Your Shows.
