The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale. ↗

I think every once in a while country has lost its way, but found its way back. It's always going to drift away from the traditional side, but then find a way to return. There's room for all kinds of influences be it pop, blues, gospel or whatever. But I will always say that I think we need more traditional country music coming down the pike. ↗
