What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.

I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.

I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.

June Carter had a long heritage of just being the spokesperson for country music and the face of country music.

She [Shania Twain] brought a whole other fan base to country music with her sound, the way the videos were produced.

Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it.
