Carolina Quotes
You know, we came out and everything went crazy, and we had to sit back and just laugh, you know, and go what's going on, man? We're just a bar band from South Carolina.

I love to see that my success helped country music to see that that stigma wasn't true.
And I always say there wasn't anybody that looked like me on country radio. And I was being told that the audience would never accept a country singer that looked like me, so I just wanted to make country records. And my biggest goal with my first record was that they let me make another one.
So for me, a lot of what I remember back in the day was AM radio. And when I was a kid you could hear Stevie Wonder and Buck Owens on the same channel. You know, that was a thing for me that just listen to AM radio, flipping through the channels and hearing these songs. That was where I really developed my love for music. That was where all the walls and lines between music were just taken down for me when I was a kid because I just loved everything.
