When we think about big records, a lot of producers are thinking of how to make it as standard as possible. I think those days are gone. I think you have to surprise the audience in 2015.

Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let's put it that way.

It leaves a good legacy to have five records.

I don't think about records.

Modern records are all made with virtually identical gear, software plug-ins and everything. Everybody wants everything to sound like the last thing that was popular because they're chasing their tails.

I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too.

No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.

I think all of our records are a progression of some sort.
