If one artist sells five million albums, the tendency is for other artists to say, 'Maybe I should do a little of that, too.' That can be tough to resist.

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've certainly had to bite my tongue on occasion and live to fight another day, so to speak, on certain things. But when you're new and fresh, you come out and think, 'I don't want to screw my chance up, so I'll go along with what everybody else does.'

I'm a traditional country singer and we're always trying to make that a fresh and modern sound. That's always going to be the challenge with me.

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

I would never do anything that makes the perception of country music worse.

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.
