To have John Mellencamp compliment my songwriting? That was unreal.

I love Hootie & the Blowfish and what we do, but that's not my main focus anymore.

I've played golf since I was fourteen. I like how no two rounds are ever the same. And I get to be out in nature... and hang out with my buddies.

I remember riding around with my friends with 'Ain't Even Done with the Night' cranked up and my windows down. Those were great days.

When I'm singing a song, I'm in that song, and I'm thinking about what emotions I should bring to the song. Voicing a character was very similar. It was high energy, and I had to really think about the emotion of what was going on in the scene.

Country music's so about the nuclear family and living the southern lifestyle and everything.

One of the great reasons to be in Nashville is, you get guys like Shane McAnally to write songs with.

If you hear a song and you like it, you like it.

I plan to make records as long as people wanna keep listening to them.

I make records so I can go on tour. There's nothing else. I love to go out and play for people.
