Dave Haywood quotes

That's country music for you - bourbon and the Bible. (Dave Haywood)

Dave Haywood

It is always weird to be in the studio working on Christmas music in June and July, so we decorated the entire studio, we really did. We brought out lights, fake trees and decorated the place to get in the Christmas spirit. You'd leave the studio, and it'd be 100 degrees out in Nashville, but nonetheless, a great experience.

Dave Haywood

We don't get too nervous for too may things, but on television a few million people are sitting there watching. Definitely a lot more nerves. (Dave Haywood)

We were taking some photos one day in front of one of these old antebellum homes, and one of us said the word. And we all kind of stopped and said, 'That could be a name!' ... It just feels kind of country and nostalgic.

Dave Haywood
