"... between recklessly raw country and unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll spiked with just the right amount of metallic unpredictability and a righteous sense of humor. Think of it like putting Waylon Jennings, System of a Down, and Led Zeppelin in a saloon blender on high, soaking it in whiskey, and lighting it on fire after the first swig." ( DBLBLK Records/Elektra / Press Release, August 18, 2023)

"['Another Century']  is about the heartbreaking realization that, regardless of how relentless you are about pursuing it, it's impossible to witness every single thing that life has to offer during your time here on Earth." (Marcus K. Dowling /  The Tennessean, 10. Oktober 2024)

"It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 28 at home. We're all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he's smiling down at us all." (Ehefrau, 8 Kinder, 7 Enkel von Kris Kristofferson / September 29, 2024)

"To get a sense of how big Kenny Chesney really is, it’s really only necessary to note that he can take an act like the Zac Brown Band – capable of headlining multi-night stints at Fenway Park all on their own – and slot them in as an opener." (Marc Hirsh / boston.com, August 26, 2024)   

"We were in a write and he was like, 'So how's your relationship life going?' and I said, 'Honestly, I'm at the point where if they look like they love me, I just got to get out of there.' And he was like, 'That's a great song title.'" (Ella Langley / billboard.com, August 6, 2024)
