Many concern the relationship between spirituality and the South.
“People who aren’t from the South don’t understand how entwined religion and culture are,” Clark says. “In the South, it really doesn’t matter if you love God or hate him. You still think in his terms.”
It’s one of the aspects that makes Southern culture – and Southern music – unique.
“When you’re in the South you don’t think twice about the link between religion and everyday life,” Clark says. “I didn’t notice it until we started touring and began realizing people don’t do that everywhere. A lot of things seem really specific to that part of the country.”
