My goal is that when the last song is over, and you're walking back to the parking lot, you're already on your phone searching to find the next show.

Obviously when you're making music, you want it to get out to as many people as possible. You want to reach as many people as you can.

There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style of country music, like myself and Eric Church and Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert.

I've been wearing Wrangler jeans for more than a decade now, all the way back to when I first started playing clubs in my teens in Georgia.

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

I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'

Now one thing I think is really lame, is if you're an artist and you go to a karaoke bar and sing your own song. I like to get up there and sing stuff that I would never sing on stage anywhere else. Like Neil Diamond.
