“I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a throug...” — Jenny Lewis Quote

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

I demo all of my songs on Garage Band, where I pretty much play everything - not very well, but I manage to hammer out a drum beat and a bass idea.

The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament.

When you're talking about your own music every day, listening to bands, going to festivals, you can kind of lose sight of your initial connection with music. Instrumental music - especially jazz - helps me refocus.

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

The passion for doing music, the passion that I have for going out and playing it live - my love for country music is back.

Nobody has done Mariah Carey whistle-tone notes in country music that I've heard of, and if you're capable of doing it, you might as well add it in.

The word matters in country music, and it always has. And everybody had lived those words in country songs.

Half of the country music fans in America who have listened to me, do not like me!
