I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.

My father, Fred Carter, Jr., is definitely an extraordinaire.

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

I'm so honored to be on this recording with Ann & Nancy Wilson. They are iconic and I've truly been one of their biggest fans since I was a kid. And what a perfect song to sing with them, since I adore Vince Gill and have been very proud for his commitment to his own musical vision. When we were recording at Nancy's house, and even though I'm friends with those girls now, I had to keep 'pinching' myself and marvel at how blessed my life is! It was a very PROUD moment for me.

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.

The songs come from a vulnerable place, but expressing that part of yourself can also make you feel fearless.

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