For me, I wanted somebody that got me musically, that understood that I'm an artist and this is who I am. I'm not going to be like another artist on your label, probably - hopefully. I found all those things with the Broken Bow group.

I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!

Everything that's cool that happens, I look at my wife and I say, 'We need to enjoy this moment right here! This is really special!'

Winning the ACM, winning the CMA, my first time on the Opry and having Grammy nominations were all a big deal to me.

When you find great songs, and somehow you get a spark in a little way, it can become brand new.

You know, I can be the happiest man in the world with minimal record success.

Music is also supposed to be fun. On this record, (titled 'III'), I really had the desire again to jump back into some good-time, fun-loving songs.
