Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

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.

Not only am I trying to be a daddy, but also a friend, not be the old fogey thats slowing everybody else down... not for a while, at least.

'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.

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.

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

My granddaddy on my momma's side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine's Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.
