I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.

Country music has been here forever, but for years a lot of people who listened to country music were ashamed to admit it. What I really think started it booming was Ray Charles and his hit I Can't Stop Loving You.

I think there's enough room in country music for everybody.

I have always been infatuated with country music.

It's kind of like my first one, ... It's back to real country.

I didn't think I liked country music. Then I got into Garth Brooks.
