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.

After my first No. 1 song back in 2006, I worried I may never have another one.

The worst gig story I have is from a club in Alabama that I think is still up and running, so I won't name the name of the club. We got hired in there to play, and the owner was pretty annoying. He kept coming up to me during the show and asking me to play 'Purple Rain.'

You don't want to get too ahead of yourself and go out thinking you can play stadiums every night, and they end up being about half-full.

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

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 haven't figured out why people like what they like. I don't know. I wish I did. I could sell that to everybody, man, and be a millionaire.
