Everybody has their favorite sad songs. That's part of what I love so much about country music. Country music is never afraid to go with a sad song.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. It's not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs.

the greatest single portfolio of songs ever written by any one person in the history of country music.

I love country music so much. I love all kinds of music. But when it comes down to it, I'm from East Tennessee, and country melodies and country songs have always just sliced me in the heart.

Country music is songs about people, the music of the heartland.
