I've always been a fan of country music. It's America's music - I love the songs, love the lyrics.

I'm always kind of surprised how much I'm associated with country music.

I do know that country music is driven by the songs. I think there's probably a core of what the material is about, which is family and love and the ups and downs of life, and I think that resonates with people.

I'm a big fan of country music.

I feel like fans who like old Southern rock and country, and more lyric-driven songs in general, have come to country radio. I think that's why you see country radio growing and albums selling: People are craving a little more of the singer-songwriter stuff going on in country.

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

I've grown up with country music. I love how real everybody is, not just the artists, but the fans.

I love country music.

I love country music, always have and always will.
