I was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.

Cry Cry Cry
Third Eye Blind Feat. Merle Haggard
Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash,
Johnny Cash trying to calm the criminal, soothed and imprisoned by a Memphis summer hymnal, with a saftey razor and a good man's nightmare, and that long road out of here paved with words that he don't believe, and a bitch of a woman caused the man in black to grieve
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugardaddies will all be gone
You wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night to wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, and then you'll, you'll cry alone
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
When your fickle love gets old, and no one will care for you
You'll come back for me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and then you'll ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this you'll cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you, you'll want me then
It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
Johnny Cash trying to calm the criminal, soothed and imprisoned by a Memphis summer hymnal, with a saftey razor...
It's gonna hurt you, hurt you

Jolene
(dolly parton)
Chorus:
Jolene, jolene
Jolene, jolene
Im beggin of you
Please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene
Jolene, jolene
Please dont take him
Even though you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin
And eyes of emerald green
He talks about you in his sleep
Theres nothing I can do to keep from cryin
When he calls your name jolene
Repeat chorus
Well you can have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Hes the only one for me jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do jolene
Repeat chorus
Jolene
Jolene

Ya know Ive met dolly parton,
And Im glad to say that were pretty good friends.
Ive met loretta lynn and tammy wynette, brenda lee.
A lot of people who have influenced me.
Other folks like merle haggard george jones and
Ray price. it really upsets me cause I didnt get to meet a lot of the
People who did influence me, like I never got to meet bob wills
And I never got to meet this next lady Im gonna tell you about.
The only way I can tell you about her now,
Is the way I learned about her the best is through her songs.

This is the bunch of songs I did first, and it's just the type of thing I do. I am a Carter Family girl, so the record is book-ended with Carter Family songs.

I think I'm most proud of my family right now. I'm more into that then I've ever been. It also gives a new area to draw from in creativity with my songs.

I chose to be Mrs. Johnny Cash in my life. I decided I'd allow him to be Moses and I'd be Moses' brother Aaron, picking his arms up and padding along behind him.

If You Dont Like Hank Williams
I dig bobby dylan and I dig johnny cash
And I think waylon jennings is a table thumpin smash
And hearin joni mitchell feels as good as smokin grass
And if you dont like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass
Chorus:
cause I think what theyve done is well worth doin
And theyre doin it the best way that they can
Youre the only one that you are screwin
When you put down what you dont understand
I said, I dig roger miller, merle haggard; george jones
Shotgun willie nelson and them rockin rollin stones
And jerry lees still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you dont like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.
Chorus:
cause I think what theyve done is well worth doin
And theyre doin it the best way that they can
Youre the only one that you are screwin
When you put down what you dont understand
Forgot to say john prine, neil young, lyle lovett (God bless him), chris
Gantry, jerry jeff walker, and david allen coe...

It depends on how Johnny's feeling... If we go back on the road, we will go together. I'll go where he goes, and he'll go where I go.

Elvis is not so difficult as Johnny Cash because his voice is so distinctive. If you try to copy Johnny Cash, it's just going to sound dumb.

I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel.

Even people that know Johnny Cash's music really well and know that he was married don't really know that much about June Carter. So finding out about her really helped to inform my performance and to bring her to the front in a way that she has never been before.

That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.
