'Dirt Road Diaries,' in my mind, is a perfect country guy song. It speaks to the hard-working guy, and I'm excited for the fans to hear that one.

You want women to think of you in a sexy manner. It's all part of the business. It drives ticket sales. It's all a part of it.

I think it's always important to constantly keep the band on their toes and try new things that you hope will work. That's how 'Apologize' was born, and maybe down the line another little song will be born by that mentality. I've always really liked that song.

My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

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

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.
