I love having those lyrics that at first make you think it's about one thing, but it's really about something so much more.
— Jon Pardi
I'd like to start a tradition of getting No. 1s - how 'bout that?
We travel so much as touring musicians and artists that sometimes, when you hear a great song that you really think could be on your project, you go ahead and record it instead of try to write it.
I chose to be this guy. It's who I want to be, and it's always been me - just keepin' it country.
I can play with Florida Georgia Line. We can throw down with people. I think that's what sets me apart.
There's so many great people in Country Radio, and I appreciate all the support they've given me.
As a songwriter, we're looking for a good story, and we're always looking to push the limits.
I lean traditional, but 'Head Over Boots,' it's pretty country.
I've really been studying lyrics, printing out lyrics to songs I love and reading them like a letter.
I love the story of the guy coming to Nashville and then kind of getting set down and told, 'This is how the town works,' which, I've totally been there. But the coolest thing about 'Out of Style' is it's a song within a song.
Radio has had my back since 'Missin' You Crazy,' which was a very traditional kind of song.
'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.
If you can take a piece of life and put it in a song, it's going to be a good song - especially if it's from the heart.
I'm a guy who doesn't know the name of the chord, but I know that it sounds good.
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.
I was a huge Garth Brooks fan.
I can be a traditionalist but also play with Luke Bryan and get the crowd to go crazy. I think that mix is a lot of what has kept me going and kept people fired up about the music.
People out west love country music.
