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

You never take your fans for granted. You always appreciate them every show, night in, night out.

Alcohol is perfect for me to curb the nerves a little bit.

I would like to be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon... something with that knowledge and the ability to save a life would be pretty cool. I wasn't that good in science class, though.

My thing is you just have to try to feel young and stay young. Obviously you get a little older, but I still want my music to be young. I don't want to sound like an old dad onstage, so you just have to write music that sounds young.

I always want to make an album that lets people immerse in it, kind of like you get caught up in a good movie.

Even with all the negativeness of the whole social media thing, I still think it's leaps and bounds more positive.
