How was that experience for you? It was tough because I mean, that's nail on the head right there. You have a lot of time to write. I had almost six years to write songs for that first album and about a year and a half for the second. I feel like it made me a better writer. You get busy on the road, so when you come home, you've got to have your rights figured out. You got to go in with an idea.

You got to have a better idea of what you want to do for the record in general, for the whole album. I think what made it easier for me is I knew the tent poles I wanted to hit.

I love to talk to people, man, and I feel like people talk in song lyrics, you know, and I think that the fun in songwriting is being in the moment. When somebody says something, I'm verbal with it. I'm like, oh man, that'd be a killer idea for a song. I literally write it down in my phone right then. That really is a lot of where my song ideas come from.

I feel like it also helps me become a better human being, just talking to people and getting to know them. We spend a lot of time on the road and it's you know walk into a coffee shop and order a cup of coffee and ask the barista how she's doing you know and um who knows three minutes later you might have a song idea out of it

My producer, Paul DiGiovanni, is one that I've been writing with going back to 2013 when we had our first co-write together.

You got a big show. You know, there's nothing better than touring and playing shows. Things at home have changed a lot. So, you know, I got three kids. I got another baby coming in June.
