Life Doesn't Get More Real Than Having

As Far As Writing, It's Grown Because I've Really Grown Comfortable With Who I Am.

When I First Started, You Could Go To A College Campus And It Was Not Cool To Wear A Country Artist's Shirt On Campus. It Was Taboo, And There Was A Stigma Involved. In The Time From Then Till Now, I'm Amazed At How Much Things Have Changed. It's Young Now, It's Cool, It's Hip

There's Just A Lot Of People That Hold On To What Country Means To Them. I Love Fiddle, I Love Steel, But I Don't Think It Should Be A Rule That It Has To Be Used In Every Song. I Think That's Not What Defines Or Makes Country Music.

I Wouldn't Be The Man I Am Today, If Not For Those I've Loved Along The Way

I Think Too Many People, If You Are 46 You Want To Look 36, And If You're 36 You Want To Look 26. I Didn't Want To Do That. I've Earned The Gray Hairs. So I Wanted To Show That Level Of Honesty.
