You Know, There's Always Someone

I Used To Be Really Nervous When I Sang. Like, When I Was A Kid Starting Young, 18 And 19, And My Dad Really Had To Sort Of Push Me To Start Singing In Front Of People. Ever Since I Got Out There And Really Started Doing It, The Only Thing I've Ever Tried To Do Is Just Sort Of Is Be Myself, You Know, Never Put On A Voice. Sing Naturally.

Coming From A Smaller Place Always Made Things Feel More Personal, Which Is Really What It's All About.

I Feel Like I Live In My Own Little World, To Be Honest. I Mean, I Love My Record, But I Don't Feel Tied To It. I Sort Of Created My Own Little Universe In The Studio, And That's Why All Of Those Musicians Who Made A Living In The Nashville Music Scene Loved Coming Over To My Place So Much.

It's Hard To Be Spontaneous When You Have 40 People In Your Crew, And You're Playing To 16,000 People Every Night, And There's Giant Lighting Rigs, It's Hard To Change Direction On A Dime.

I Started Playing Bluegrass With My Family, So There Were The G, C And D Chords. I Was Playing A Martin Acoustic Because That's What Carter Stanley Of The Stanley Brothers Played. Then I Got Into The Really Raw Blues Of Hound Dog Taylor And Started On Electric Guitar.
