That has to feel kind of freeing for you. And you can’t do that in one radio song.Īnd these days, radio is hardly the only way for fans to hear your songs for the first time. And so an album is kind of like a snapshot of these past couple years that’ve gone by. Now I’m a dad - and not just a new dad, but one dealing with stuff with his 12 year old son - but I’m also more mature now. I love to reminisce in songs, but this time it’s about more than looking back.
So this one now shares what I’ve been through. I have been doing that since my first album Love Like Crazy ten years ago. How the songs flow and what they all say turned this whole album into my chance to sort of show where I’m at in my life. What is it that an album can do that one or two songs on their own cannot? I love deep cuts, so I will always make albums.
And the songs that aren’t necessarily the ones country radio’s gonna play? Those songs are just as good. But I love making music, and making an album is my favorite thing to do. I may make an album and then also put a song out just for hell of it. So why make an album now?īrice: Why not now? I hope the world doesn’t change so much that I can’t live by this: I will never not make an album.
