And off Quote by Travis Tritt
“A little bit South you've got Macon, Georgia - home of the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band and Capricorn Records. And off to west you've got Delta blues. Sprinkle Southern gospel over the top of that, and you're talking about where I came from. I loved all of that music.”

![“Those songs [from church], I think, shaped to some degree how I would evolve as a writer, pentameter of songs, the melodies of those kind of hillbilly hymns - I used to refer to them - because they were not Southern gospel as much as they were passed down from Scottish Welsh Protestant hymnals.” quote by Dwight Yoakam](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/71f/dwight-yoakam-9632_christianity_those-songs-from-church-i-think-shaped-t_613462.jpg)
