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.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

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 have a love of baseball and a love of music.

Country music artists are staying true to their roots, keeping it country but throwing a little bit of rock flair in there which I think is a good thing.

I love fried okra. The fact that it's okra makes me feel like it's good for you - I forget the fact that it's fried.

Playing a stadium is a big adrenaline boost for me and I dig it. It keeps me on my toes and makes me revamp everything I'm doing and not get stagnant with how I approach every show, which is something I like.
