That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. You can do a very eclectic group of songs. You do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. You have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

If dreams give you power, then I'm strong enough to walk through my heart till you love me.

It's very important to surround yourself with people you can learn from.
