After you come see this band live, you're going to be converted.

We're a part of the fabric of people's lives at this point. As songwriters, but also as a band, we can stand up there and sing songs that (people remember) listening to the first time (they) made out in the car with somebody. It's a big privilege for us. When we walk out there and sing those songs, you see what's in the eyes of those people. We're singing about everybody.

We all want to see our families. But you can't have everything you want.

I think we've had our biggest success with ballads, and that's something we shouldn't forget, ... if you listen to a Lonestar album, there's going to be a little bit on there for everybody.

The fabric is so elegant that you almost can't demystify the beauty of it -- the patterns just bounce off the fabrics. When we were cutting into the fabrics it was like a guilty pleasure, just knowing the intensity of the work.
