I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.

I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.

I love Nashville, and I love the South, but on a professional level, I had started feeling smothered by the Nashville way of doing things.

Any album that I ever put out I'm going to send it to country radio first.

Yes, we do mimic our parents in a lot of ways.

James Michael and I played everything on the album, then brought in the guys in my band to add their spirit to it with solos and specific parts.

No matter what you do for a living all we have is music to get through certain situations.
