'Tailgate Blues' is kind of a lyrical masterpiece of a country song.

It's a good community, country music, because we get the chance to sit down and... me and Tim McGraw spend a lot of time. Me and Kenny Chesney had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. It's been a lot of great advice through the years.

Every day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family.

Nothing is more rewarding than to take a song, create it out of thin air and then watch it affect people.

I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son into this world.

That's gotta be the one remaining constant - jeans have gotta be tight, baby.

Nothing is more frustrating to me than putting a song on an album and regret putting it on there. I'm excited that there are no songs on 'Tailgates & Tanlines' that I'm iffy about.
