Country music has become the music that best represents the reality of American life.

That's why we do this. In country music, we do this for this very reason... to impact people lyrically, to be a part of their lives.

Country music is the poetry of the American spirit.

To me Country Music is about real life.

Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.

Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to.
