A lot of great bluegrass comes out of Kentucky. There's a lot of great music, like the Judds, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, and Keith Whitley. There's a lot of bluegrass intertwined with country music.

Country music is one of those places where we support each other and prop each other up.

We have a history in country music of writing about the darker side of things - maybe not as much in modern times, but there's a lot of cheating and self-deprecation. We sort it out in song, in country music, as a genre.

There's a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world.

Put out great music, and that's that.

To me, country music has always been the home for a great song.
