September 11, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) – In response to daughter Miley Cyrus’ provocative music video for her new single Wrecking Ballfather Billy Ray Cyrus tells ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT’s Nancy O’Dell, “I'm a song man. A musician singer songwriter who loves all styles of music. But again...I come from the old school where it starts with an artist and a song ...colliding if you will ...in a moment where the song, the singer, the producer, the band and the listener become one. It wouldn't have mattered if Miley would have worn jeans and a flannel shirt ...a Tux ...or a nuns habit. The song's a smash ...and her performance vocally on the tune reflects her roots and sheer God given talent.”
