I was getting . . . hey, do we see a pattern here? ... I was getting out of another relationship at the time and I thought, 'What is going on? Should I marry this person or not?' In the bridge of the song, it says, 'Maybe I'll settle down, get married/ Or stay single and stay free/ Which road I'll travel is still a mystery to me.' But I realized I didn't have to make that decision in that moment. I realized I could sit there, dangle my feet in the water and have another beer.
(Kenny is) an artist who has the ability to captivate millions with songs that are honest, heartfelt and entertaining. He is a superstar, yes, but he is a songwriter first.
I think it is important for this record to finally get out to remind people I'm not in tabloids for a living. It comes with the territory right now and I understand it, but I'm looking forward to getting back to the music, because that's what is most important and what got me here in the first place.
He's a school teacher in the Knoxville school system and has been for a long time. And even though I didn't live with my dad, and mom says we're just alike, talk alike, walk alike, and we definitely look a lot alike...but he's very, very supportive of what I'm doing. One thing that dad did, even though I wasn't living with him, he helped me pay for college and that was a really cool thing,
I was at the Academy of Country Music Awards and my first record had just come out. Buck Owens walked up to me, told me he really liked my record and said, 'I believe in your talent. I believe you're three minutes ? one hit song ? from being a big star and finding your own path.' Well, two years ago, Buck walked over to me and said, 'It looks like you got those three minutes, didn't you?' You found six, nine, 12 and 15 of them.' And he told me he was proud of me.
I was so tired that I didn't want to be there, for the first time in 12 years,
I'm all right. I'm good. There have been better times, but I'll be OK.
I am incredibly happy. I may well be the luckiest man alive. To be so in love with someone who is so perfect for me. It's just hard to imagine that I'm not going to wake up.
Funny story, ... We actually forgot we were recording these songs until the day before we were supposed to start. That afternoon, we decided on the songs, learned them, rewrote them, scrapped them, rewrote them again and then recorded them the next day. It was the most fun we've ever had in the studio!
It's not just in my industry... everything is so sensationalized that there's not a lot of heart and soul in a lot of things there used to be heart and soul in.
This is a bit of curveball, but people who are really good kissers never have anything given to them.
My career was really odd, because I literally had a greatest hits album out and nobody knew who I was. They knew the songs, but they didn't know me.
I've gotten to meet so many people who've inspired me as a human being.
I'm pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women.
