My wife grew up loving country music, so I always run songs by her whether I wrote it or if somebody pitched it to me.

I've never really focused on if I had good habits when I sang or if I had bad habits, or if I was breathing correctly. So, I started doing vocal exercises and would stretch out before I sang, stuff to help my breathing. It's funny, you breathe your whole life then you find out you're not doing it correctly.

My family and I are just regular folks, just trying to get through the day and do the best you can and pay the bills, and that's who we're singing to.
