becoming buying coming fans gonna kinds love music offense people pop pull records rock shows
We love all kinds of music: We love pop music, we love rock music, we love R & B and country, and we just pull from all our influences. So I don't really take offense as long as people are coming out to the shows and buying the records and becoming fans of the music. At the end of the day, the music is what's gonna speak to you.
drank felt royal whiskey
We partied with the royal rich people, and we felt like rock stars. We drank all the whiskey in the place.
asked came dave hillary later meet met randomly songs town trying writers
Dave and I had been song writers in Nashville, trying to get around, out hustling, trying to meet people. We randomly met Hillary out in town one night. She said she was a singer. I asked her if she would like to write some songs with Dave and me, and a week later she came over. Instantaneously we had this chemistry.
opposed
That's a different side of the brain going into the studio, as opposed to doing a live show, obviously.
mom country brother
We're definitely a hodgepodge of influences. Mine, most heavily, would be Southern rock - the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that. Hillary is more from the country side - her mom is Linda Davis, a country singer. Dave, he's a big fan of the Eagles and like that.
thanksgiving morning brother
One of my most memorable Thanksgiving memories was probably the first year that me and my two brothers decided to start our annual eating contest. We ate throughout the whole day. We started that morning and weighed ourselves, and at the very end of the night, we weighed ourselves out. And all three of us equally gained five pounds.
country fun crowds
The country crowd just has fun.
song ballads tempo
I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.
song real people
I'm a real fan of that Foster the People song 'Pumped Up Kicks.
football lying golf
I'm not going to lie, I love TV. I watch a ton of it - golf, HGTV, football.
pressure albums want
We're putting a lot of pressure on ourselves for this second album and so we want to make it as great as we possibly can.
country song thinking
I feel like fans who like old Southern rock and country, and more lyric-driven songs in general, have come to country radio. I think that's why you see country radio growing and albums selling: People are craving a little more of the singer-songwriter stuff going on in country.
men mad fans
I love whiskey, and I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men,' so anything that Don Draper does, I like to do. But I want Don Draper to get back to where he was in the first season. I like him married and gallivanting around.
kids people giving
I see too many celebrity kids who can't sing. If you don't have it, give it up, because people are brutal. I never want my kids to feel like they have to live up to what I've done.
