I hired some guys that are young, just out of college, and we used some new, far-less-expensive cameras and technology to make videos.

There was even talk behind closed doors about pulling 'Bleed Red' because they had caught wind and heard 'Cost of Livin'.' We went with that.
Tags: Single, Talk, WindMy father was an aspiring country singer and songwriter. He just didn't get that off that ground. I was afraid, very tentative to do anything with music for years. I didn't tell him I was playing in bands when I was away from home, because it had been such an unpleasant experience and a letdown for him.

I love her to death, but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish, which is a double whammy.

It's been my experience over the last 20 years that on a rare occasion, in a live setting, if you can slow people down to listen to two good ballads, then you're doing pretty good. Then throw a tempo at 'em. Then have fun.

There's no formula for it, and I think a lot of people when they're around you - even those closest to you - when you're in that whirl of creativity and you're grabbing those things out of the air, there's no rational process.
Tags: Between, Creativity, ProcessWhat I've learned by going out and playing smaller venues and being more in touch with people is getting feedback, just by virtue of being able to watch the crowd react and watch their faces instead of being blinded by 3,000 spotlights. I've realized that you can quickly get out of touch with your audience if you're not careful.
Tags: Able, Getting, LearnedMy own grandmother went to great lengths to make sure I knew simple things like how and when to open the door for a lady. And the best thing my mama taught me was to pray.

Tags: Happen, Song, TimeDuring college I realized I had a music predisposition and really got involved in it. I started playing bass guitar. That was how I began to fit in.
Tags: College, Guitar, MusicI do have to step out and take time to let people know that I'm Ronnie Dunn and not Brooks and Dunn.
Tags: Brooks, Step, TimeI don't walk around with a cowboy hat. I did get a tattoo that says 'cowboy' that's a bit of an over-compensation, probably.
Tags: Bit, Says, WalkI grew up in trailer houses in New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
Tags: Houses, Oklahoma, TexasI'm from Oklahoma. I mean, you can't have good hair in Oklahoma. That's why everyone wears hats. The wind just messes it up.
