It's something I never looked at myself as. If people think that, then great. But I really do feel like they are paying attention to the music.

Anytime I get to be around the fans it's always a good time, especially during Music Fest. The CMA puts together an event that allows artists to make that personal connection with the fans, and it's wonderful. I look at it as our chance to give back to them and let them know we appreciate their support.

I relate to a lot of those songs and he keeps it country. He's almost like a Porter Wagoner.

I don't know why it is, but I just love soul music and all that old country stuff. I guess somehow my heart mixed them both together as I made my albums.

I never could see myself in Playgirl or People or anything like that. You just don't think about those things. All you think about is getting onstage and singing. Winding up in Playgirl and People wasn't something anybody had planned. But that made it all the more fun for me.
