I think it says wonders about people that can write an entire album, and put out an entire album of great songs. I mean, the Brad Paisley's, Alan Jackson especially, even Taylor Swift - those people can really pen great stuff.

Sometimes as an artist you get wrapped up in what you are doing and you can't be objective.

Australia is breathtakingly beautiful, and I can't wait to visit again.

When people have passion there's nothing they can't do.

There's been a lot of really cool stuff that's happened to me throughout my career, and I remember everything, but I don't think I savored every moment of it like I should have or like I do now.

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

I think it's a natural fit, major league baseball and country music.
