“And of course these days I feel like there is a nation of us - displaced southerners and children of the working class. We listen to Steve Earle, Mary J. Blige, and k.d. lang. We devour paperback novels and tell evil mean stories, value stubbornness above patience and a sense of humor more than a college education.

“I fell like a lot of times, when I write a song, it is coming from an introspective perspective that my faith always kind of factors.
