Nashville has a formula, and it works a lot of the time, but it wasn't right for me. They're afraid to step outside the box - even though, with me, my success came because I was outside of the box to begin with.

I never excluded any genre on my first record.

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

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

I also love real estate and decorating.

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

I never listened to country music growing up.
