"Everybody wanna know, where did all the cowboys go? Musta been the whiskey, maybe it was all the Marlboros. But it ain't none of that, that laid 'em all low, yeah, believe me, I know." (Killed The Cowboy / Jordan Reynolds, Anderson East, Devin Dawson)

" I pitched ‘Kill a Man’ to Morgan [Wallen] and it was crickets. There’s stuff on [my album] that people just wouldn’t touch because they were a little too brazen and wild. But I’m the man for it. If anybody’s going to do it, it’s going to be me." (Ben Burgess / tasteofcountry.com, October 7, 2022)

"Maybe it’s the realisation that music is a fulfilling creative outlet, but it doesn’t tell you good night as the moon settles into the sky. While often an equally dynamic duo, sometimes music is the master and the music creator is its submissive and 'The Guitar Slinger' masterfully shows this relationship through its lyrics."

"You neglect friendships, relationships, because I am so maniacal about making this [music] thing go, it’s been my only mistress. It’s been all-encompassing for me, and I haven’t been able to find that balance and I don’t know how to find that balance. So that’s where it becomes what that song is, where I’m like, ‘I want to run away but I love it so much I can’t.’" (Kip Moore / americansongwriter.com, April 28, 2023)

"Of course, we gravitated the conversation to Andrew [Dorff] and Alex [LeVasseur/Steele], and being that we're both in this hideous club that no parent should ever be in. We were talking about it, and then came a shrug of the shoulders, 'Who knows why?'" (Steve Dorff / people.com, September 24, 2022)

"The idea for Country Goes Reggae came on a trip to Negril, Jamaica in 2019, when producers The Berman Brothers  were sitting at sunset at a beach bar listening to Reggae classics as a car passed by blasting U.S. country songs. they knew the two worlds, with the blend of different styles and cultures, would work perfectly together."
