“It was so obvious to me after hearing the song just one time. I was thinking, what’s not country about it? What’s the rudimentary element of a country and western song? Then I thought, it’s honest, humble, and has an infectious hook, and a banjo. What the hell more do ya need?”
He also continued to add about ‘Old Town Road’ remix with Lil Nas X. He said:
“A few days passed and I went to the studio to do vocals.When I finished the pass, I whistled at the end of the song. Thats when the engineer stood up and said, ‘that shit is fire’ We’re keeping that! Glad you gusys are diggin’ the tune, love seeing all your meme’s.”
