I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.

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

I've been so blessed to have my career gradually get bigger and bigger, so I've been able to absorb stuff and take stuff gradually.

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

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.

I think the defining moment in my career is the day that I moved to Nashville - September 1, 2001. That's the biggest step to getting here is making that move. Anything that happens, the wonderful opportunities that happen to you, can't happen until you make that move.

Anytime you have a fellow artist say, 'Loving the new Luke Bryan album,' that's awesome.
