Here are a few responses:<\/p>\n<p>Trace Adkins said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to get back to work, doing what I love to do, working with my guys. I&#8217;m not stir crazy, I&#8217;m staying busy doing things, but I&#8217;d like to get back to work.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Craig Morgan said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m nervous for people in our business. I think there&#8217;s gonna be a lot of people, a lot of artists, a lot of musicians, publishers, even labels to some degree, that won&#8217;t survive this.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chase Rice said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In six months, they gotta let us go play. You gotta keep people safe . . . [but] they gotta let us go play and the people that are healthy can decide if they want to come or not. That&#8217;s what the American constitution is about is us having the choice.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Clay Walker isn&#8217;t so keen to jump back out on the road.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Since I have multiple sclerosis, my risk of mortality with this is double what a normal person&#8217;s is. So it&#8217;s definitely got my attention. Especially after Joe Diffie dying and seeing John Prine [pass away.] I really regret the fact that we&#8217;re seeing people politicize this. It&#8217;s the last thing that we need.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taste of Country has been asking country stars how they&#8217;ve been coping since the pandemic ground touring to a halt.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":8933,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[514,990,1655,1660,808,1224],"class_list":["post-8932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-chase-rice","tag-clay-walker","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid-19","tag-craig-morgan","tag-trace-adkins"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 13:13:13","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2020\/06\/some-country-stars-are-ready-to-hit-the-road-again\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
