You had a Number One song on there. The album&#8217;s gold. It&#8217;s a platinum single, &#8216; all these things but still, you kind of feel it, you know, and so I was back home in Oklahoma and (producer) Scott (Hendricks) sent me &#8216;God&#8217;s Country.&#8217; I stopped and I called Scott. I go, &#8216;Man, that&#8217;s literally the kind of song that I feel like makes me want to make another record.
