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

I love Tennessee, but they don't have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around.

When you get married and have children, and you start having hits and success and your business starts growing, there's less and less time for songwriting.

I grew up around people that enjoyed life day to day and found pleasure in simple things.

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.

I'm a sinner just like everybody else and I have my faults and I've been through my dark times in my life to where I wasn't walking the walk and talking the talk, or I may have been talking the talk, but I wasn't walking the walk.

There were only 75 people in my graduating class at the school I attended in Hannah, S.C. It was a small school and that translated into not a lot of opportunities when it came to music. We had academic and sports programs but we never had a consistent music program. We would have a band one year, and a chorus one year, but nothing ever lasted.
