00:00I'll wear my jackets for special occasions.

00:02Nice and suede.

00:03I had to break it out, yeah.

00:05Yes, I love it.

00:06And the belt buckle.

00:07Yeah, yeah.

00:08That's awesome.

00:09It's real.

00:09I mean, yeah.

00:10I don't know how close.

00:11Where's the proximity?

00:12It's real.

00:13No, it's not.

00:14How do we use microphones?

00:16Yeah, dude, I just got done singing with Tracy Lawrence.

00:19I have not settled down yet.

00:21I shouldn't even be in this little room right now.

00:23I'm like a damn bull in a china cabinet.

00:26I love it.

00:27But it's all good.

00:27That's how I feel after interviews.

00:28So I completely know how you feel.

00:30Well, good, yeah.

00:30It's like that adrenaline rush.

00:32Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.

00:33I mean, can you describe it?

00:34Just describe it.

00:35Keep going.

00:35It was great.

00:36Honestly, I don't know what else to say.

00:38But like I said, if only you could kind of slow down time and soak it in just a little

00:43bit more.

00:43But no, it was cool.

00:45I should have picked his longest song.

00:46That way I stayed on there.

00:48That one, that one.

00:49I mean, it's still three and a half, I guess.

00:51But no, it was a lot of fun.

00:52And dude, like I was saying, Tracy is just, you know, salt of the earth.

00:55He's a great guy.

00:56And I'm just listening to that guy pretty much my whole life, you know.

01:00So it was really cool.

01:01It feels like you're part of something cool when you get to do something like that.

01:05So it was awesome.

01:07Do you feel like there's still elements of that kind of country in modern country?

01:12Yeah, I mean, there's always going to be room for anything.

01:16I mean, any kind of country.

01:18We've had it all, I think, at this point.

01:20And, you know, somebody's going to come along and take it somewhere else, you know what I

01:23mean?

01:24But there's nothing wrong with just staying here and playing country music, too, you know.

01:28And there's a lot of people that are doing that.

01:30And, you know, John Party and Cody Johnson, people like that, they are kind of painted in

01:34the way for younger acts like myself, you know.

01:37And so that's what it's always taken if you look back in the 80s or the 70s with that

01:42Rhinestone Cowboy thing going on.

01:44And then we had the Urban Cowboy.

01:46And then you have guys like Randy Travis and George Strait that come along that kind of

01:50change the sound.

01:51And, you know, we're kind of going through the same thing right now.

01:53So it's really cool.

01:54It's cool.

01:55Well, what can we expect from you in 2019?

01:58Good.

01:59New music.

02:00Yeah, we put out some new music in January.

02:02So hopefully we're putting out some more, a lot more soon.

02:04Soon, I've got a bunch of songs and we've been playing them out a long time.

02:08Really excited to get them out finally.

02:09And we're getting on the road with Old Dominion this week.

02:13So it's going to be really fun.

02:14That's going to be, I'm used to playing, you know, honky tonks and dance halls and stuff

02:18like that.

02:19So this will be our first trial in arenas, you know.

02:23So it'll be a lot of fun.

02:24It'll be a lot of fun.

02:25And it's going to be fun to open the shows and learn from those guys.

02:28And then we've got stagecoach after that.

02:30And so it's going to be a lot of fun.

02:32Huge.

02:32I want to ask because I made my first trip to Nashville, which is crazy, in December.

02:39I know.

02:40So bad.

02:40How was it?

02:41Do you remember?

02:41It was great.

02:42It was great.

02:43I actually got, I was a little, I had a cold.

02:45But the honky tonks, but the whiskey helped.

02:48The honky tonks, I have not met an artist yet that used to play in the honky tonks.

02:53And I'm so interested.

02:54Or maybe I did, but they don't talk about it.

02:57Do you have any crazy stories?

02:58Like, what's the craziest story that you witnessed at the honky tonks?

03:01I feel like, well, Nashville, I've, now, if you don't talk crazy, we can turn the camera

03:05off and talk about tech.

03:06We can talk about Texas clubs for a little while.

03:08That's where I'm saying the crazy stuff.

03:10I'll tell you what, the last, no, it's been a couple times ago, but two Decembers ago,

03:15we had a show in Texas where there was three fights in the crowd.

03:18I was on stage.

03:19I didn't even see them.

03:20That's how, I mean, it was that fast and quick and then fight in the back and somebody

03:25actually got hit by a car.

03:27So that was like, hey, but, and then their best friends the next morning by 11 a.m.

03:31So it's all good.

03:32But in Nashville, everybody's there to have a great time, but they, I don't know, besides

03:39for like falling down drunk, they don't act like, you know, they don't act just belligerent,

03:43I guess.

03:44It's pretty, pretty tame.

03:45It's nothing like Vegas.

03:46I'll tell you that when I say, I feel like this, this place is a no holds barred really

03:50as far as when it comes to that.

03:52Yeah.

03:52But Nashville's, yeah, Nashville's fun.

03:54I mean, it's, it's a good place to go.

03:55Well, one more question I want to ask you, you're at the ACMs.

04:00Just like reflect on that for a second.

04:02You're at the ACMs.

04:03How cool is that?

04:04It's, it's been more than I could ever drew it up to be.

04:08You know, I was saying earlier that more I come to Vegas, the busier I get.

04:12So I'm going to have to keep coming back, but it's a, no, this has been great.

04:16Um, and just being able to go to the wards, you know, I grew up watching it and everything.

04:20And, you know, every, there's people dreaming about standing here talking to you, you know

04:25what I'm saying?

04:25So it's really cool that, uh, you know, I get to be in the boots for a little while.

04:29I love it.

04:30Thank you so much.

04:31Congratulations.

04:33This has been amazing.

04:34Yeah.
