I don't think you'd call me a traditionalist. But you can say I have an old soul, because I grew up listening to Conway Twitty and Hank Williams.

When you're the opener, you're the guy getting the crowd warmed up. But when you're the headliner, you're the main dude. People come to see you, and you have to deliver. It's a cool position to be in.

One thing I love about Josh Turner is his faith; that's why I looked up to him so much.

I want to go to Nashville and get cracking on this album.

You gotta *be* country music - you can't just sing it.

'Something More' is a song that I wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. I wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so I was just looking for something more to put on the record.

I was watching the show last year and it didn't even cross my mind that this could even happen.
