Sourdough Chocolate Cake

"I don't consider myself at the kind of stature of somebody who can play five cities on a tour, and that's it. I go where I'm wanted, and I've always had the rural areas of the country. We've always gone there since the Carolina Chocolate Drops. There's a fan base that's there, and if I can afford to do it, I do it."
