I think somewhere in the back of my mind I've always wanted to make a whole swing album.

I have been fortunate enough to record several singles and a whole album with Chet Atkins.

I think it's going to take my whole life to sort of get people to know what my perspective is.

Country has been a wonderful outlet for me.

One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story.

Aledo will always be home to me because I spent the first 27 years of my life there - it's such a special place - and because of the experiences I had there, I've become the person I am today.

I've always loved to sing.
