The 'Night Train' has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making TV appearances and stadium announcements all over the country, fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline... so many fans jumped on board with us, and I couldn't be more thankful.

I think country music is obviously a great form of music. I think it's cool and has mass appeal.

I try to record music that people can relate to.

I grew up in an age where I loved going and buying a physical record. Things that were digital and all that stuff, it wasn't around. So I loved going and buying an album and looking through the inserts and reading stuff and seeing pictures.

No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.

My dad encouraged anything I wanted to do, especially music. Actually he drove me around to places where I could play.

There's a lot of people I'd love to work with at some point, but I think the song has to be the right thing. It has to be the right fit.
