You have soulful rock, soulful house…you’ve got soul R&B, there’s just so much of it. I don’t want to be pigeonholed into one particular genre. As long as it’s good, that’s what I’m interested in.

They kind of introduced English kids to Merle Haggard and George Jones and the Louvins (brothers Charlie and Ira).
