You need to work at the craft of songwriting, but not only the craft. When I see people working both on themselves and the craft, and they combine those things...I just go, That's just fabulous.

The music that I play is much more accepted in America. Do you know what I mean? Americans recognize and not necessarily country music. I go to a lot of places in Canada and they go I don't like country music and they think I'm a country musician. When I am a country musician but not a country musician like they think of.

When they come out to my shows they like me but trying to get them to come out to my shows they're like I don't want to go and see that old guy But when they do they totally get it.
