You gotta have a good beat to survive in modern country in general. Everyone wants to feel good, laugh, dance, and cry. But at the same time, they all want it to sound happy.
'Dirt on My Boots' was pegged as the second single from 'California Sunrise' from the get-go, and we felt like it was just a fun song to go with.
My grandmother loved country music, and she's the one who really got me into country music. She had George Strait tapes, a bunch of them. I remember listening to tapes, taking them out, the covers and the back.
I love coming back around Northern California.
I played the bars in northern California since I was 18. We played at least three hours, and there's no which-way about it: That definitely helped.
A lot of my fans, and a lot of country music fans, they still wear boots.
