Zitat des Tages von Juice Newton:
It would be nice to garner new fans and make it a success - and success is relevant, we already know all that.
I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it.
My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.
As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles.
When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.
I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience.
I'm just thrilled to see people enjoying the music.
I'm really fortunate that I've had some mega hits.
I've had the big ups and the big downs.
Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.
I work a lot, and not just in Las Vegas.
I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did.
I'll do a cappella stuff, rock 'n' roll and swing stuff.
But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that.
Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.
I've always enjoyed playing live onstage.
This genre of music seems to want to push people into a certain time slot, which is unfortunate.
And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.
And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience.
In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.
The very fact that I've had those established me to continue on to do new music and new projects.
I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups.
