To just get in front of different kinds of audiences is important for me. I do think it's important for music to be a big family. Whether it's country or not.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that what is important is that the music be honest and direct and that it is relevant to today. I think music needs to be of its time and speak to that time.
But music raises a lot of issues. Music is something that matters to people a lot, and they put a lot of passion into it. And I think when you have an area like that, you're gonna find a lot of issues coming up.
Music is important.
Music is a performance and needs the audience.
I try to be a good representative for country music. But as a country artist, it's important to move the needle and make a difference beyond your core audience. But you can't ever strategically try to accomplish that; then things get weird.
Imagine if you grew up in a place where your lineage was there for a hundred years, and part of the culture was to play music 50 percent of the time. You'd probably have a lot of musicians in your family too.
Music is hugely important to me.
The marketing is just as important as the music, almost.
Music was always a big part of my family. Only a few of us had the talent - or the courage - to walk out on a stage.
As long as it's good music, that's what's important.
