“Not that I needed to make a dance record, but it dawned on me that I tend to write a lot of acoustic ballads and mid-tempo type tunes. I realized it was time for something a little more upbeat and positive and that's what I ended up with on 'Happy Hour.'”

“I went through a long patch where I didn't want to write anything at all. I don't know if that's normal.”
“I can admire someone like my grandpa who was always happy and proud.”
“My favorite one is actually a car that Kenny Chesney gave me. As a tour present, he gave me a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with 30,000 original miles - it's awesome! It was my dad's first car. When I was younger, he was redoing that car. And Kenny knew that.”
“Nothing beats setting a needle on a record and letting it do its thing. Reminds me of a better time.”

“I want my kids to do whatever they want to do.”
“I've always had this plan with Kid Rock. Just being best friends, we sat around for a long time going, 'OK, what we're going to do is take the Kid Rock thing and do this with it, and then we're going to spawn you off and it's gonna be Uncle Kracker this and that.'”
“I grew up in gas stations.”
“Me and organized in the same sentence - that's weird.”
“To me, fans are fans. If they're there, they're there. If they're excited, they're excited.”
“It's weird how many people have problems, but it's life.”

“Each time we go on stage, I want people to leave smiling.”
“I don't ever really plan anything.”
