I think 'Country Girl' is one song that can veer into country or hip-hop or rap. You can listen to it and enjoy the humor and the fun in it.

My path is exactly where I want it to be. I'm doing my thing. I'm getting better with every album.

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

I'm a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, 'Enjoy life. Celebrate life.'

As far as heroes thorough the years, I’d say definitely Alabama and Randy Owen, Conway Twitty was a big influence of mine, George Strait, Lionel Richie.

My dad is very successful in his business. He's always been big in having hobbies and having little ways to get away. He always made time for hunting and fishing. He always encouraged me to do it.

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