It's hokey, but I love sitting in an inner tube and taking it easy on a lazy river ride. I can sit there all day.
Music education was always big for me. Ever since I was a young kid, I always said it was the reason I went to school sometimes and knowing if I didn't do well in class that my mom wasn't gonna let me sing in school or sing at that concert.
With 'Wagon Wheel,' I loved the visual it painted, and it's a song I can truly say I look forward to performing every night.
To have John Mellencamp compliment my songwriting? That was unreal.
I'm not a studio rat. I do find sitting around playing the same song 12 times kind of tedious. I like to get in and get out.
We work so hard to stay true to country music. People can say they don't like it, but they can't say it's not country.
