And you know, ... it is pretty much a rallying cry for everything we do. I mean, we may turn those guitars up -- and play hard and loud -- but in the end, we're all about taking country music and setting it on stun. That's what we do, and that's what this song is about. |
He gave us a lot of freedom, and he has a lot of respect for what we do. |
He's pretty hot right now, and he couldn't be much hotter as a writer. He's a really good writer, and he writes in a lot of different directions. He's so crazy that sometimes people who aren't around both sides of him don't appreciate what a heartfelt guy he is and how really talented he is. |
I don't think we should try to do what the Stones do. Hopefully, it will be the best of what we do. |
I knew doing a rap-country song like 'Whiskey Do My Talkin'' was a good move, ... It totally opened the urban side of honky tonk up to us, not to mention there being plenty of good old fashioned amped up country on this one. |
I know every time I turn the corner he's working on something. I think it would probably be easier if I was by myself to head for the Caribbean for a month and just tell everybody to leave me alone. But when I know he's sitting over here working, it doesn't allow me to do that. |
It's a doggone Tucson choir out here on 'Neon Moon.' Y'all are good. |
John recently had his 32nd birthday party with six Playboy bunnies and a naked fruit lady. |
New York actually took notice of us and it wasn't in a hokey, hay-bale kind of way. |
Our business is based in Nashville, and it always will be, but New York City is still our No. 1 or No. 2 market. There's an amazing history of country music here; most people just don't realize. Garth (Brooks) is still the biggest concert that was ever in (Central) Park. |
That's just a part of your soul. I couldn't be complacent about that no matter how much I wanted to. Sometimes thinking I have to write songs for an album feels like I have to study for an exam. Then as soon as I start writing I remember how much I love the process. We both do. |
They asked us last night if we'd be interested in doing some more shows with them, and we said, 'Yeah.' So we're just kinda looking at all the options right now. It would be fun to do some more shows with them. We're just trying to see how our schedules work out. |
They haven't come up with the force of nature that can stop us. Because we live to play, and no matter what it takes, we WILL find a way to make it happen. It may not be according to the original plan, but we don't care... we just wanna get out there and shake it up. |
Today was absolutely as good as I can play. And I was scared to death. I played a couple practice rounds leading up to this event and hacked it all over the place. I didn't even break 90 in my practice rounds. This is a dream come true for a hacker like me. |
We are competing against ourselves. There's 28 million people who have Brooks & Dunn CDs ... The challenge is to come up with Brooks & Dunn music that's not something they've got already. That's what we are really up against. |
