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.
I have such a love of good music that I find even melancholic music uplifting. Maybe I'm a rare breed.
Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from. I think that's a really important thing to carry with you.
I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.
The passion for doing music, the passion that I have for going out and playing it live - my love for country music is back.
I love pop music, but I love pop music that does something a little bit different.
I didn't want kabobs, Afghan music, and rules that required girls to be carefully monitored. I wanted mac and cheese, country music, and independence.
I like pop music. Earnestly. Most of the greatest technicians, mix engineers, and players are working in pop music.
Logically, when you talkin' about folk music and blues, you find out it's music of just plain people.
What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
Pop music has been exhausted. The innocence has been exhausted. I think we've lost the ability to be blown away by music.
I'll give up this sort of touring madness certainly, but music-everything is based on music. No, I'll never stop my music.
There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing.
I don't know about folk music. I play guitar, so there's a feeling I make folk music.
Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.
Generally, I like Indian music because the melodies are usually not too complex, which is how I like music, and that's the way I write music.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
Let's have the music that will open the door to millions of people... the kind of music that will not make people think only of the song or even of the singer... not music that is confined to the merely personal.
I didn't grow up listening to country music. I pretty much grew up rebelling against country music.
