It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes before we make a record I go back and listen to a few. It's equally humbling and uplifting.
I always sang harmony with my family growing up.
Lyrically, there's a lot of songs that are influenced by my wife. They're about my wife and I.
After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.
No matter where I go, I actually have a lot of couples coming and telling me that one of my songs was instrumental in strengthening their romance!
Harmonies are nice.
Not that there is anything wrong with confessional songwriting, there are plenty of people that do that I admire. I think it is great, it just isn't how I do things.
I'm still disturbed if a chord isn't together, but your priorities change as you get older.
Don and I are infamous for our split, but we're closer than most brothers. Harmony singing requires that you enlarge yourself, not use any kind of suppression. Harmony is the ultimate love.
I listen to Lil Wayne, and then I listen to Merle Haggard.
