It’s going to cover all of the hits we had in country music. It will also include, as we go on during the year, the release of a new CD with original songs in 2020. We’re just about finished with that project.
I hadn’t traveled much until I left home at 16 and went to Nevada. I was exposed to so many different people from all over the world. After I moved to Nashville in 1979, I wanted to write a song that identified my entire country with who I was.
The first line, “If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life,” was about my grandparents and their farm, where I was raised in Sacramento, Calif. We were sharecroppers.

My mother had several marriages — I didn’t see her much — and didn’t know my father until I was 14 or 15. So I had two driving forces: baseball and music. I play...
I didn’t know until I was 7 or 8 that they weren’t together. When I was maybe 12 I started asking where he was. They finally allowed me to see him when I was 13, and we had a good relationship until he died. I absolutely loved Louis D’Antonoli, my stepfather for my last years growing up. He proudly wore my tour jacket.
