I work hard to let my wife know how much I love her. I try to do that every day.

I don't think I get the respect as a singer. With this record, I wanted to bring respect to my band.

All the doors that I had to close. All the things I knew but I didn't know. Thank God for all I missed. 'Cause it led me here to this.

It was important to me to find a label that wouldn't back out after a first single. Everyone's so used to hearing me with Hootie, they're going to be skeptical.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

I expect to make a career out of country music.

I'm lucky my wife is a strong woman. She's one of the stronger people I've ever met. It's hard for me to be away, but I know my home life is fine because my wife is there.
