I have a cat named Dandelion.

I love so many styles of music.

My golf game is lacking big time.

I can't play guitar if I blow my arm out.

I wanted to be a bull rider when I grew up.

I love being outside, I do a lot of hunting.

It wasn't in the cards to work out in football.

I still get excited about it. I miss playing ball.

New experiences give you new perspectives on life.

I've always really liked the rhythm element of songs.

People throw things at me sometimes, at big festivals.

I'm not in control of my fate, and that's a good thing.

Picking up a guitar brought a lot of balance into my life.

Respect for women was a very important part of my upbringing.

I don't let many things that are superficial keep me in a box.

I'm not really a piano player, but I play enough to get away with it.

I am from the country, and I grew up mostly influenced by country music.

My style, in terms of what I wear, is kind of representative of the music.

I love what Drake does, but I don't want to be called the Drake of country.

People sniff out when you try to fake something or be something you are not.

When I was really young, my babysitters had horses, and I started riding them.

I study what's happening in music. I want to sound different than everybody else.

I really feel like I honed in on a sound and a style of writing that best fits me.

I have a whole, whole lot of respect for the men and women that serve our country.

It's good to be proud of your heritage and your culture, but pride can be perverted.

I've always craved winning. It's just easier in sports because there's a scoreboard.

I try to make music that's relevant to my life and relatable to the culture I live in.

A good story gives you more of a license to be forward and progressive with the music.

I think of a song in terms of lyrics and stories, and that's what keeps it country for me.

I had a couple CDs. But I never had that first concert experience, that first record thing.

By no means do I want to try to leave country music. That's absolutely where I want to stay.

Some people don't like long bus rides, but I love them. There's sort of a sense of solitude.

I could probably recite just about every song that was on country radio between 1990 and 2000.

It's just really fulfilling to celebrate with a group of folks, a team, than it is personally.

Folks in Alabama seem like folks in Georgia to me. I feel like you can just about combine the two.

I kind of have my little OCD wood shed at my house where everything is just right when I go write.

At heart, I'm a relationship guy, but my adventurous side makes it hard. I hope I'll find a balance.

A lot of times, songs can blend together on the radio because there's so many great songs out there.

Traditionally, music has been a means of separating ourselves as people from another group of people.

The most flattering thing I hear is, 'I didn't think I liked country music before I heard your record.'

It wasn't until I was 18, when I was graduating high school, that I went and bought a guitar on a whim.

Fortunately, the music from the first record really connected with people, and I was really proud of that.

I like disagreement because it forces both sides to question their own opinions and why they feel that way.

I don't know that I've ever bought anything online. I'm about 10 years behind the technological curve, I think.

There wasn't really a song or artist that made me want to be a singer, I think I was always a fan of country music.

Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.

I got a horse when I was eight or 10 years old. And dad used to take me to the rodeo back home. I got into it big time.

Obviously, I love country music, so I wanna be able to live in the country music genre and then play to country music fans.

I was a big music fan, but I never bought a bunch of records or was very educated, I guess, on who was who or what was what.

I worked at a hospital parking cars and getting folks in and out of the hospital as they would come in for their appointments.
