A Hank Cochran song in the studio is spiritual. It's like singing a hymn in a church.

Even a song on the radio that completely lacks substance is there for a reason. Sometimes, people need a break from cold reality the song that you really don't have to put that much thought power into can be just as entertaining as something that might take you on a three- or four-minute cruise through the depth of reality.

Blackberry Smoke is my favorite band!

Music was fundamental in my family. Sang at bars, all the way to church on Sunday. Music in school, played guitar pulls at the house, go to other people's houses and break out the guitars, it was fun. It was always there, I've just been a part of it.
