My home town was really great to me. If you've ever watched 'The Andy Griffith Show,' it's like Mayberry.

Anytime you're in West Virginia or near it, and you sing, 'Take Me Home, Country Roads,' it's a sight to behold.

Alison Krauss is definitely my favorite singer that's ever lived. I've never heard anyone like her.

When you hear a banjo through stutter edit, it's the coolest thing you ever heard.

My first tweet was at the CMT Awards when I won an award and typed, 'Thank you.' Then I was hooked because the followers started multiplying. It's a great tool.

As a guitar player, it's harder for me to impress somebody than it is to write a song that they like.
