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.

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 had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn't want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!

If you say, 'I'm going to cut this song because I know the teenagers are going to love it,' well, then you're going to alienate everybody else. When I cut my record, I'm just going to cut the things that I like, and whoever likes it, likes it. That's too much work to try to figure out the demographic. That's too much like a business.

Country music in the mid-'90s was a big influence on my career, and I played all the songs that are referenced in '94' back in my club days. Joe Diffie was rocking a sick mullet, and he was hotter than ever... just putting out monster hit after monster hit. It totally takes me back to those days, and it makes me smile every time I hear it.

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.

If it takes you a year to cut a record, I don't know, you need to find something else to do. It really shouldn't take that long.
