An Interview With Terri Clark Over At The 9513

Terri Clark has had an incredible career with a long list of musical accomplishments that include 19 charted singles, two #1s, multiple platinum records, a Grand Ole Opry membership and numerous Top 10s. Any country fan recognizes smash country hits like “Easy On The Eyes,” “Girls Lie Too,” “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” and “I Wanna Do It All.”

And with a brand new album called The Long Way Home that came out late last year, she continues on that legacy. I had a chance to sit down with Terri and talk about the new album, a change in life priorities, and even a little bit about how us Americans (she's Canadian) can't quite handle our winters. There's a little snippet of the interview below, but you can view the rest of it HERE.

"Country music is about real life. It’s about real loss. It’s about demons. It’s about angels. It’s about life. It is a lifestyle type of music–what we face every day in life. Some of it’s good and some of it’s not. But we have to look at it all to get a true picture of it. And that’s what country music has been to me. And it’s about the people who came before me, the people that started out. It’s about the Opry members that I run into every night. They’re the ones that paved the way so a lot of it is about the history of the music to me too."
