And from my place, and from the time that I went through my divorce, I also had my father pass away in the middle of all that. And it kind of made everything else just kind of like the back burner, you know.

I formally proposed. I'm a good Southern gentleman.

I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too.

I do not like being famous. I like being normal.

Music is like having a conversation. All musicians inspire each other, and they're all geared to play something that matters.

With The Key, it was, I had gone through a divorce and losing my father, and just kinda really reminiscing about how much I loved the traditional side of country music, so I made a record that was really traditional from start to finish.

I've always felt like every note of a song is of equal value.
