It's hard to say no to your kid. It's hard for them to stomp off and not be happy with you for an hour.

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.

You either have fans who stick with you, or they don't. It comes down to making music that people connect with and great fans.
