This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.

You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.

I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me, seeing another part of the entertainment industry.

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.

I get asked all the time, "What is a George Strait song?" I know it when I hear it. I don't seek a specific tempo or lyric or melody. It just has to make sense. Maybe it is natural because I was given the gift to sing.
