Q Considering the title of your last album was “I Don’t Dance,” perhaps the follow-up should be called “I Dance Now.”Ī I’m not sure what the record will be called. One new song is a Bonnie Raitt-like/R&B tune called “Rumor.” Another is The Band-sounding “I Don’t Smoke.” Q Are you currently playing any unreleased tracks that will be on the next album?Ī I’m playing a couple in the new show. Every song will have the same sonic value. So now this next record is going to be a little bit more of a live kind of deal.
At the time I really wanted to show all of the sides of me. Before, I tried to make each track so unique. It’s going to be a sound that it’s the same band playing every song. The difference for this next record – it’s going to be a definite theme and a definite sound. Q Looking ahead to the new album, stylistically how it will differ from “I Don’t Dance?”Ī “I Don’t Dance” taught me so much. It’s called “A Little More Love.” Also, I’m making a new record now, and it will be out at the beginning of next year.
Don’t you think your fans are clamoring for new tunes?Ī I’ll tell you what, my buddy Jerrod Niemann and I are best friends, so we recorded a song together. Q Your last CD, “I Don’t Dance,” was released in 2014. It really does feel like home every time we’re there. I always pictures up north to be so different but the more I’ve gotten to know her family, they’re just a bunch of rednecks like me. From there, it’s been a long story and a beautiful one. That was kind of the beginning of us again. I met her before that, but we were able to reconnect. That’s when I hadn’t seen Sara for a long time. I was doing my first radio tour, which basically means I was visiting all of the radio stations. What are your memories of Northeast Ohio?Ī My wife is from Youngstown. Q We’re excited to get you back in the Buckeye State.
