I mean, the last thing I want to do is be involved in politics.

I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. It's not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs.

And I'm the biggest country fan there is, but I'm always a little cautious of a slower song or just a song with subject matter.

I'm always looking for things that make me kind of uncomfortable.

I have been waiting a long time for this. It's been my dream forever. Now that it's a reality, I love it. I haven't been burnt out at all and I have a bunch of guys with me that feel the same way.

No, as an artist, you have to be free to explore all the corners of your heart. There are no boundaries.

Blackberry Smoke is the real deal!
