It's a big plethora of music floating around in my head all the time, and I'll sit there and write a song.

Well you know, I've been into music my whole life, so to be able to put an album together with some of that music was awesome.

Well, you know I grew up wanting to be a Clemson Tiger and I ended up being able to play there and I went to school there.

Willie Nelson is not just a star or a headliner, he's a legend.
