Sentiment: POSITIVE

I'm thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I'm proud to represent it, but I don't obsess over it as a category.

This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It's what I perceive as country music is about.
I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre.
New country music comprises about five percent of what I hear per year. I enjoy it, but I don't really take note of who's singing it or writing it.
Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
