Country Music Has The Great Stories.

This Is An Album Of Songs That I've Always Loved, Tunes That I Heard. For The First Time In 53 Years Of Recording, I Really Had Control Over An Entire Album, Start To Finish.

People That Can't Stand To Listen To The Blues, They've Got To Be Phonies.

I’ve Learned To Live With Rage. In Some Ways, It’s My Rage That Keeps Me Going. Without It, I Would Have Been Whipped Long Ago. With It, I Got A Lot More Songs To Sing.

That's Where It Begins And Ends For Me And These Songs Were The Ones That Touched Me The Deepest. It Was Like I Was Laying Hold Of Some Part Of Me That I Didn't Even Know Was There Until I Let It Out.

Most Of The Songs I Sing Have That Blues Feeling In It. They Have That Sorry Feeling. And I Don't Know What I'm Sorry About. I Don't.
