Kurtâs perspective on country music is very simple âThe traditional country music that has embraced folks for years has seemed to have gone to the wayside making room for a more rock and roll and mainstream Pop sound. I wanted to create a record that would be able to have music and lyrics that would be emotional and tell a story that would bring the listener into the song you know something country has always been about, you have to be able to relate to what your listening toâ
