I really tend to write in retrospect.
I love Darius Rucker. He's a true artist, a great songwriter who can play his instrument, sing and write about his life.
I'm a songwriter; that's where it starts. I love writing with someone that shares that same feeling of accomplishment. I'll play music for my fans as long as they'll listen, but I fancy myself as a writer first.
I started playing guitar before I can really remember, and I started writing really early, too.
Any of the rewards or accolades or any of that are very nice and everything but the music is what saves me. And it did. I would write my way out of any kind of depressing period.
Ill never be, like, sippy cup country, or write about everything I do around the house.
When you're listening to radio and hear the same 20 songs over and over and over, you want a break from it. Sometimes you don't want to hear something that sounds just like everything else on the radio. Eventually, if you hear the same sounds and the same musicians and the same mixes and all of that, it will start to sound like elevator music.
I never felt like I wanted to have kids until I could be home and be a daddy, and those are the things that I didn't have.
I find it hard to talk and say things, but I can always sing about them.
I feel like a younger man, and I'm sure having a child and all that has to do with that.
I've been playing music for over 20 years now. I started playing when I was 14 years old. To everyone who has said I was an overnight success... where have you been the last 20 years?
My dad wasn't the biggest role model, but he was a great musician and I loved him very much. He was a character.
When you listen to radio and hear the same 20 or 25 songs, you start hunting down your CD's. Waylon Jennings' records were always around to listen to.
There is a big difference between No. 1 and No. 2. I don't care who wrote it. I'd love to one day have a No. 1 that I wrote, but if that ain't in the cards, whatever. My job is right now is to make the best music I can and try to get it to the people, whether it be something that I wrote or not. It's my job to be the best I can for the fans.
