I Grew Up Listening To All Kinds Of Music, Everything From Country To Rock, Pop, R&b And Even Rap, So For Me, Music Is Music And A Great Song Is A Great Song.

There Are People Out There Who Are Into Traditional Country Music And For Those People You Have Artists Like Brad Paisley And Josh Turner And Alan Jackson. Then You Have Artists With A Progressive Style Of Country Music, Like Myself And Eric Church And Luke Bryan And Miranda Lambert.

I Had A Friend, Melissa, Who Was 28 Years Old. She Was My Best Friend's Wife, And She Was My Wife's Best Friend. She Died Of Breast Cancer. When She Passed Away Back In 2004 Was The Last Time I Cried.
