Bobby Bare is one of the greatest people in country music.

A lot of people that only like country music, they're not fans of mine.

I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.

Country music historically has been sort of middle-aged people's music.

I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a through line.

A lot of people that I've met who don't like country music just haven't been introduced to the old country.

When Florida Georgia Line and Nelly put out the 'Cruise' remix, it brought so many more people to country music.

A lot of people like mainstream country because they're not given another option of country music to like that's modern.

That's why we do this. In country music, we do this for this very reason... to impact people lyrically, to be a part of their lives.

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

Taking employment out of the country - now that's taking away jobs. These shows employ a lot of people: production, post-production, music supervisors, camera people. A hundred people or more.

Everyone wants to be an arena act, and it's making country music evolve. People are cutting things more for that arena environment. But who's to say that that is a sign of any more of a successful career than what James Taylor has been able to do, when he still comes and plays the Ryman every two years?
