I grew up listening to everything. And rock and roll has always been a big, big part of it - as big a part of what I do as any other type of music.
I think when you wear the brand anyway, why not go out and try to promote it and make it as cool as you can? The fact that I can continue to do what I've always done and kind of become the face of that brand is to me, kind of just makes sense. It doesn't make sense not to do it I guess.
I had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn't want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!
I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.
I haven't figured out why people like what they like. I don't know. I wish I did. I could sell that to everybody, man, and be a millionaire.
No matter what you do, you're going to have people who have something to say about something you do. You can't please anybody.
I know I'm not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don't let that affect any of my decisions.
I think it's important to do things that you're interested in. I think it's important to have other outlets away from the music industry.
I had a friend, Melissa, who was 28 years old. She was my best friend's wife, and she was my wife's best friend. She died of breast cancer. When she passed away back in 2004 was the last time I cried.
I think he's just a great songwriter, and obviously, artist-wise, that speaks for itself.
I went and took it to the label, and they loved it, so we put it on the record.
My producer, Michael Knox, he's kind of my eyes and ears on Music Row. While I'm out on the road, he's looking for songs, and then he and I will get together and go over songs.
My main lucky number is 9. That was my baseball number in high school. My other lucky number is 3, because that's the one I wore before I got to high school and had to pick a different one.
When I was a kid, we went to St. Augustine, Fla., and I was lying on the couch one night with a Q-tip, cleaning my ear out after I'd taken a shower. I hit my arm on something, jabbed the Q-tip through my ear drum, busted my ear drum and couldn't get back in the water the rest of the time we were there.
