If I wake up one day and people tell me I'm not sexy, I'm not going to stop making good music and having fun. That 'sex symbol' thing is typically part of being in the limelight. You better be very talented in your music, but it's good to be nice to look at, I guess.

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

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

I'll always have songs with a farm connotation on my albums. It's in the fabric of my music, and I plan to keep it that way.

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'm a big sports fan in general.

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something.
