Normally what occurs in Nation music is, should you take your music abroad, they ask you to take the metal [guitars] and fiddles off of it … Now, individuals can hear it initially, the way in which it is alleged to sound. So, once you do come over there [to tour,] the steels and fiddles aren’t a shock to them. We’re not going to remix something for [international audiences]. We would like you to know what we sound like.

I do not know should you’re maintaining with what RONNIE DUNN is doing, however his stuff sounds incredible, and he haven’t got a label. So that is what this station is for. You are going to hear the most recent from all people, the Nation music household. I like that!”
