I took a complete year off the road, but a big part of that year was making 'The Big Revival.' I needed that down time just so I could concentrate. The one thing that starts it all for us is the music. That's what you create in the studio. That's where the magic happens.

Believe it or not, I want to keep growing my audience.

My life can be insanely complicated sometimes, and there's a certain simplicity that I crave.

We call it drunk philosophy. You have a few beers and you become a lot smarter.

When I'm onstage I feel changed.

I was definitely born a dreamer. I could never sit still, and I can't now.

Just because I don't sing about the normal country themes doesn't mean my songs aren't country. I'd rather sing about having fun.
