Hearing People Clapping Draws You

I Had No Idea 'big Green Tractor' Was Going To Be As Big A Hit As It Was. You Just Can't Predict Those Things.

I Haven't Figured Out Why People Like What They Like. I Don't Know. I Wish I Did. I Could Sell That To Everybody, Man, And Be A Millionaire.

If You Can Go Out With Your Live Show And Turn People On To That, Where You Have That Fan Base That's Religious And They're Going To Come See You When You're In That Town, Once Your Radio Success Is Gone And You're Not A Mainstream Guy Anymore You Can Still Go Out And Play Your Shows.

I Didn't Want My Records To Sound Like Anybody Else, And When I've Got My Guys In The Studio, I Have A Language With Those Guys Because We Work Together Every Day. A Lot Of Times, You Bring In Outside Guys, Studio Players, Whatever, And They're Great Musicians. It's Just That They Don't Necessarily Play The Way I Want It To Be Played.

Country Music In The Mid-'90s Was A Big Influence On My Career, And I Played All The Songs That Are Referenced In '94' Back In My Club Days. Joe Diffie Was Rocking A Sick Mullet, And He Was Hotter Than Ever... Just Putting Out Monster Hit After Monster Hit. It Totally Takes Me Back To Those Days, And It Makes Me Smile Every Time I Hear It.
