American - Musician | April 15, 1978 -
It's nice to see people invest in what you do as an artist and sing the songs back at you and feel something. You get to feel something more than what you were feeling when you made the record.

I'm a fan of records. I'm a fan of listening to something cover to cover and not wanting to skip over anything.
ListeningOverAnythingSomething
My earliest memories of music are probably my dad listening to a bunch of outlaw country, but also old R&B and Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin. But, you know, I had rock phases and liked more modern R&B acts. I've always listened to all kinds of music, and I like all kinds of music.

There are great songs out there, and if I love them, and I know them, I'm going to sing them just because that's what songs are for.

I don't make records to win awards. I make records to make records and hopefully make the records as good as they can be.

I'm not going to ask musicians to sit there and pretend to play. It feels insulting to the musicians to me.

I like more of the club mentality, where we're playing, and if we feel like we want to play a cover, we'll switch to that.

I'm not reinventing the wheel here. I'm not Chuck Berry or Bill Monroe. Guys like that are from outer space.

I don't look at it as mainstream country versus outsider.

I don't know that my voice ever makes sense anywhere, necessarily. I would sing bluegrass music, and I don't fit in there; I would sing rock music, and I'm probably a little too hillbilly for that. And country, I'm too much rock n' roll for there sometimes.

Everybody gets through a phase where it's, 'Ah, if I could just sound just like Vince Gill.' Then you figure out that you have your own voice, whether you like it or not, and that's what you should stick with.

The first time you listen to someone else's interpretation of what you've created, it's a little unnerving. They'll change lyrics or something almost every time. That's them being an artist, and you appreciate it more over time.
