Ua ib tus kws ua yeeb yam ywj pheej ua rau cov txheej txheem muab feem pua ntawm txhua zaj nkauj rau nws cov neeg koom tes yooj yim dua yog tias Burke tau kos npe rau daim ntawv lo vim nws muaj nws tus tswv.

"Lub teb chaws suab paj nruag yeej ib txwm hais txog zaj nkauj thiab yog vim li cas kuv poob rau hauv kev hlub nrog lub teb chaws suab paj nruag kuv tus kheej," nws hais thaum zaum ntawm lub rooj muag zaub hauv lub tsev noj mov chav noj mov uas caricatures ntawm lig Naomi Judd, Willie Nelson thiab countless lwm tus kws ua yeeb yam thiab sau nkauj. kab phab ntsa.

"
Me ntsis Burke paub tias thaum sau zaj nkauj nws yuav kawg muab rov qab rau nws cov neeg koom tes, Dawb thiab Kenney. Dawb, uas tau sau nkauj txij thaum nws muaj 15 xyoos thiab tab tom mus rau nws 11th xyoo nyob rau hauv Nashville, hais tias Burke suav nrog nws nyob rau hauv tus tswv royalties ntawm zaj nkauj "txhua yam."
