I always believe that if you put it out there in the universe and you believe in it, you will stuff to happen.
I wanted to make music that spoke to me, without having the expectation of success that comes with Lady Antebellum.
One of Lady Antebellum's first big tours was opening up for Kenny Chesney.
'The Driver' kind of set the tone for what I wanted to say, and lyrically, it especially did.
When I come home and have a new song I've written, she gives me an honest critique. If my wife likes it, I know I have something.
It was a total dream of mine to have my voice on an album with Stevie Nicks.
I never want to cut music ever again that I'm just kind of into, because we definitely didn't do that in the beginning.
That's a different side of the brain going into the studio, as opposed to doing a live show, obviously.
I'm 6' 6''. It's hard to find golf clubs that fit you right and work right.
With Lady Antebellum, there's always pressure. It's hard for commerce not to rear its ugly head when you're making decisions.
It's always cool to go back home to Augusta, especially during The Masters week.
It's hard to make great art when you've got too much pressure.
That's kind of the theme of Own the Night. It's about those nights that are so memorable you could live them forever.
I'm not going to lie, I love TV. I watch a ton of it - golf, HGTV, football.
I think the key to marriage is find your best friend.
If I am going to do something outside of Lady Antebellum, it's got to make a statement. Otherwise, why do it?
I'm a real fan of that Foster the People song 'Pumped Up Kicks.'
I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.
I love writing with other artists, I really do. Because you can try to guess what they would want to say and how they would sing it.
