I don't feel like God called me to be a Gospel singer. He didn't call me to be a Christian singer, he called me to be a country singer, and I just happen to be a Christian.
I love my boys. I love watching them growing up. I love seeing them develop, and I'm always looking forward to seeing what they're going to become and what they're going to be interested in later in life.
Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
I'm normally the guy that stands off in the corner.
My manager came up with the idea of taking a Pro Tool rig out on the road to record every night and I thought it was a great idea. I felt like it would be good to record over a certain period of time and then take the best performances of that collection of recordings. It appealed to me that it wasn't going to be from just one location.
I love Jesus Christ with all my heart and everything He stands for. I think that sums up everything that I want for my life, everything I want for my family, everything I want for my career. I want it to be entertaining. I want people to smile and tap their toes, but I want it to be meaningful when the day is done.
I love Tennessee, but they don't have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around.
I'm a sinner just like everybody else and I have my faults and I've been through my dark times in my life to where I wasn't walking the walk and talking the talk, or I may have been talking the talk, but I wasn't walking the walk.
It's hard sometimes to capture magic when it comes to live records.
Who's not a fan of Don Williams? He's the gentle giant.
I'm not much of a water skier, my legs are too skinny for that, so I just try to tube and have fun, just ride.
You hear about quality time a lot but I really think that quantity time with a person is really what strengthens a relationship. That's when you really get to know somebody. You get to know their strengths and their weaknesses and that brings you closer. That's what 'Time Is Love' is all about.
It's so cool for me to do what I love to do for a living and meet people from all over the world.
I don't ever land on an album title until I know exactly what's going on the record, because you never know until it's all said and done.
