You know, I'd like to sit here and blame everybody else for my trouble. I just can't do that. I can't find it in myself to do it.

The passion for doing music, the passion that I have for going out and playing it live - my love for country music is back.

I recorded the song 'Believers' because I feel the song has a strong and much needed message. We all need encouragement and something to believe in.

I think the Lord gives us everything we can handle, nothing more.

I wanted to make a traditional record that had a lot of art and showed my vulnerable side and showed things I'm passionate about.

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.

It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.
