We're not selling religion, we're not selling spirituality or anything like that, but that bang out there that all of us are reaching for it, no matter what it is.

When I was growing up, I gravitated from one extreme to the other. I didn't know a middle ground.

We worked hard on this record, not that we don't on all of them. This one has fire in it. It takes us from those all-too-familiar beer joints that we cut our teeth in to the front row of church. I feel like we're barely scratching the surface with the first single 'Play Something Country,' because there's so much more on this record.

I soaked up all that stuff.

It's amazing how 13 years into it, there's still stuff to say -- and people who want to hear it. We've been through so much stuff over the years.... We've really tried to focus on the music, and push ourselves... and it's awesome that people are still responding to what we're doing.

That's pretty good for a Rolling Stones concert. Maybe we're crossing over.
