Alive Quote by Dutch Robinson
“The music business has changed so much. Collaborations are all over the Internet. The young people are keeping the old school alive. A lot of them run out of ideas so they grab these songs that we've had out for 50 years and bringing them back and making people rich again. That's a nice thing. A lot of artists don't have incomes after a certain time in their life because nobody's is buying the songs. This revival of their music has taken a lot of writers out of the poor house.”

![“The title [of the album 'The Big Revival']alone fit what I was feeling. It defined what I was going through. That year off was a time to revive, to reset, to reclaim, to revitalize and to re-focus. It was a revival of how I made music, how I presented it and my connection with the fans.” quote by Kenny Chesney](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1be/kenny-chesney-2066_albums_the-title-of-the-album-the-big-revival-a_642657.jpg)
