My first full year of touring, I did 300 days on the road. That was not including the travel time or publicity or anything else - that was just dates. I was home probably less than 50 days that year.

I'm thankful to have Jesus as my Savior. My relationship with God has always been one to where I'm talking to him all day, every day, about anything and everything. It's just a continuous ongoing conversation that I have with the Lord, and I feel like that's brought me closer to Him.

'All Over Me' is a song that I really got fired up the first time I heard it: it just really moved and it really had a lot of energy.

Who's not a fan of Don Williams? He's the gentle giant.

I play basketball all the time. Me and my band play every week on the road. That's something that I've never really given up since high school.

It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.

My dream was to go to Nashville. I had my sights set on my dream. I used to have an '89 Toyota Ford truck. On the front of the truck, I had this license plate with cowboy boots and a guitar that I had airbrushed at Wal-Mart. It said 'Chasin' A Dream.' That was kind of my motto.
