I Was Born With Music Inside Me

I Think That Most Great Artists Who Are Extremely Known, As I Am, Would Intimidate A Lot Of People. I Don't Want To Do That To People, But I Know I Do.

If You Can Play The Blues, You Can Do Anything.

The Words To Country Songs Are Very Earthy Like The Blues. They're Not As Dressed Up And The People Are Very Honest And Say, 'look, I Miss You Darlin', So I Went Out And Got Drunk In This Bar.' That's The Way You Say It. Where In Tin Pan Alley They Would Say, 'oh I Missed You Darling, So I Went To This Restaurant And I Sat Down And Had A Dinner For One.' That's Cleaned Up Now, You See? But Country And Blues Tells It Like It Is.

I'm Not A Jazz Singer, Blues Singer Or Country Singer. I'm A Singer That Can Sing Rhythm & Blues, That Can Sing Jazz, That Can Sing Country. There's A Big Difference. In Other Words, I'm Not A Specialist.

Do It Right Or Don't Do It At All. That Comes From My Mom. If There's Something I Want To Do, I'm One Of Those People That Won't Be Satisfied Until I Get It Done. If I'm Trying To Sing Something And I Can't Get It, I'm Going To Keep At It Until I Get Where I Want It.
