My relationship with Music Row has always been, from my end, optimistic and hopeful that there is more than one way to approach the writing, recording, and marketing of an album.

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.

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

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

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

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

There's a lot of freedom for me living in L.A.
