Country music has always been about as close to R&B as you can possibly get. We're storytellers.

Soul is a feeling, not a color.

No one can deny, this love I have inside, and I'll give it all to you, my endless love.

I find myself going out on the road to get my confidence back, because I lose it at home.

The music business was not safe, but it was FUN. It was like falling in love with a woman you know is bad for you, but you love every minute with her, anyway.

I am a country boy and proud of it.

People have allowed me into their homes, through my words and my music.
