I think there are a lot of artists that are very traditional. I think someone can be a fan of someone like Josh Turner and then turn around and be a big fan of someone like Taylor Swift because, at the end of the day, it's all about those songs. I feel like country music has the best songwriting and the best songs of any genre.

We're putting a lot of pressure on ourselves for this second album and so we want to make it as great as we possibly can.

I'm not going to lie, I love TV. I watch a ton of it - golf, HGTV, football.

I love whiskey, and I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men,' so anything that Don Draper does, I like to do. But I want Don Draper to get back to where he was in the first season. I like him married and gallivanting around.

I'm a real fan of that Foster the People song 'Pumped Up Kicks.'

I feel like fans who like old Southern rock and country, and more lyric-driven songs in general, have come to country radio. I think that's why you see country radio growing and albums selling: People are craving a little more of the singer-songwriter stuff going on in country.

I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.
