Solitude is such a potential thing. We hear voices in solitude, we never hear in the hurry and turmoil of life; we receive counsels and comforts, we get under no other condition . . .

I hope that country music embraces me because I grew up on it and have a love for the music.
I don't feel that electronic music has to stand on the back of urban artists or anyone else to be recognized. It's great music.
