I'd work with Charles Kelley anytime. I'd go do a 'Pancho and Lefty' record with Charles. He is class, man.

I just wanted to go out and make a record that I've always wanted to make since I was a kid.

When you're doing a Motley Crue tribute record, you can ask anyone to do it, and they're not going to say no.

For me, '52nd Street' is quintessential Billy Joel. I bought that record as a kid and listened to it so much.

Remember the Stax label and how if you liked one record, you liked all the others as well? You don't talk to a lot of people who tell you how much they love their record label. I don't care how many records they sell.

I always say, no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music, I can handle it if Charley Pride could handle all the stuff he went through.
