I've had the chance to meet families with children who are sick, and it's heartbreaking.

This album means a lot to me, and partnering with Cracker Barrel to have it in their stores is very exciting. I am a big fan of the brand, so it was a natural fit to team up with them to have 'You Should Be Here' in its stores nationwide.

I like the songs that are fun, that aren't gonna change the world - I've some of those - but even something like, 'You Should Be Here,' that was my chance to say, 'Look, this is me, too. I'm just a normal person.'

I remember this song by Clay Walker that came out in the '90s called 'This Woman and This Man,' and it was about breaking up, loss, the pain of moving on, and my parents were just getting divorced at the time, so I listened to it over and over again.

I've always wanted to release a song that could actually touch someone and help them through a tough time.

I want to do this for a long time; I want people to be saying, 'What is he doing still playing in clubs?'

The older I get, the more special time with family gets.

I started to sing after high school, and I may have dreamed about being Randy Travis a time or two.

I've stopped questioning things and how things work.
