I grew up listening to all kinds of music, everything from country to rock, pop, R&B and even rap, so for me, music is music and a great song is a great song.

I think from an artist standpoint, you have to put out music that you feel like represents you and things you feel like your crowd wants to hear. And if that drives them to go and download the album or the single, that's what we want.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.

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.

It feels good when your hometown supports you, and Macon's always done that with us. Every time we come here, it's an event - which is nice.

I got a hat deal with Resistol, where I have my own line of cowboy hats.

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