I was in a band called the SteelDrivers, and we just played hard in vans, hopping on airplanes, not knowing where you're at.
From Chris Stapleton
I was born in Fayette County, over in Lexington, Kentucky, but I was raised most of my life in Paintsville.
It is a really interesting to hear yourself on the radio. I've gotten to hear myself in different capacities. I've heard myself on Sirius XM on the bluegrass channels, and on WSM and other places.
The goal is always just to write the best song that you can write. I mean, the process for writing a song is the process for writing a song. It's not something I look at it as something I need to do something different.
I don't look at family and what I do for a living as separate things. They're all kind of one thing, and this is part of their life just like it's part of mine.
I went to college a little bit, and that didn't work out, and I didn't finish. So, I would play in bars until I ran out of money, and then I'd get a real job.
I like songs that make me feel tough. Like 'Back in Black.' You want to hear it again and get in a fight.
I'm always trying to do as many different things as I can, just so when one is not doing so hot, maybe the other is still there.
I just try to make the best music that I can. People are going to label it whatever they're going to label it.
I like things that don't sound particularly processed or mechanical or made by machines. I like music that contains human elements, with all their flaws. There's air in it, and you can hear a room of a bunch of guys playing. Those are the magic parts.
