I want to be able to take singles, serve them up to radio on a silver platter and just have them smoke - just obvious great-sounding, great-feeling radio singles.

No one would ever have heard Marcus Hummon's version of 'Cowboy, Take Me Away' if he hadn't recorded it on the Sampler. I would have heard it because I hear him sing all the time, but no one else would have been able to enjoy it, and now they can and will be able to for years.

I really felt like it was a dangerous trap to get into, having had such great success with 'Wishes,' it just wasn't in my blood not to play it safe and just do that again.

I'm not a mainstream country artist, and I never will be.

Getting up in front of an audience is my biggest motivation.

There's nothing better about being a musician than live performing.

We can't control people's comments.

YouTube is covered in comments that would be better expressed - and better spelled - via a simple thumbs-up or down.

I have been subjected to what can only be described as an unrelenting onslaught of comments and commentary and trolling online.

I have no problem with trolls or negative comments.

There is no excuse for making disrespectful and demeaning comments about women.

I normally read the comments on my video two hours after it's been uploaded.
