He was my parents' favorite, so I heard a ton of his stuff.
And Amarillo by Mona was the first song I asked to learn how to play on guitar.
anyway um but yeah it's it was not a calculated decision at all it's just kind of what ends up coming out of me when i write and play and sing for better or for worse but you're exactly right it's i mean i think country has always been that way and maybe most genres are um but country feels like it's always been cyclical like back in the i don't know
The 70s and 80s, people were complaining that Kenny Rogers was ruining country music.
And it took George Strait and Randy Travis coming along, and they were saving country music all the way back then.
And now Kenny Rogers seems like pretty traditional country music.
But I don't know.
It feels like it always does that.
It's kind of like...
we've country music finds like some new wacky edgy sound chase that for a little while and then people eventually feel like ah yeah but let's get back to what we know and love and like where this all came from and i feel like that's yeah kind of where we are right now i mean since probably
yeah 2010 was kind of where like florida georgia line was the first big like they blew the doors open um with that sound and it was a new fresh thing you know between them and luke ryan and um obviously morgan wallen is kind of the peak of his powers now um maybe maybe he's not at the peak yet we'll see um but you know i feel like we've been rolling on that for 15 years and yeah now people are kind of
all right, let's kind of get back to where this came from.
Oh, big time.
western is kind of like the texas swing thing um old bob wills stuff um i'm trying to think how to describe it's really really heavy fiddle music and it's like that it's almost like more um jazz influenced i think um as far as you know like i grew up in a uh bluegrass background that's what i grew up playing and um can you play the banjo
i tried i love bluegrass yeah not good yeah it's it's awesome it's so much fun and we still have like uh in our shows we do a little uh section in the middle of it where we bring out an old uh old-fashioned looking condenser mic and we all gather around they everybody comes down from their amps and their drums and plugged in stuff we all grab um an acoustic instrument and uh and play a few songs there in the middle of the set uh to kind of
yeah pay homage to yeah my roots or whatever um but yeah western is the the western swing in uh when people talk about country and western the music that sounds like a train a little bit ish yeah it's it's uh yeah it's almost like it's country's version of big band music okay that makes sense and what would you say what would be the uh the mount rushmore of country music songs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, we are in Mount Rushmore season, aren't we?
We are.
Well, yeah, yeah.
