Tom's Country View

"When I was working on Top Gun, [Tom] Cruise brought up a really interesting thing, where he’s like, “If you want to make movies of a certain size and scope and scale, you have to figure out what can connect with everyone around the world in every territory.” And humans versus weather is a very universal idea—how powerless we really are in the face of these cataclysmic forces."

"After we've written the song, I sent it to Mom, I sent it to Gloria, and I'm sending it to my sister. And slowly but surely now - we still say 'I Love You', because I come from a wonderful line of women that is quick to give you a hug and quick to tell you if they love you or if you have pissed them off. And now we tell each other: 'I'll leave the light on!'" (Ashley McBryde / The Bobby Bones Show, March 3, 2023)

"It’s rare to find a song that has this much lyrical content and this much meaning, it says so much, but still have this sort of high energy. It’s rare to find that combination of not quite a ballad, not quite an up-tempo, but still deep, lyrically." (Tim McGraw / The Bobby Bones Show, March 10, 2023)

"The Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam offers a truly unique experience for any festival-goer. Located in picturesque Panama City Beach FL, the salty scenery of the beaches offers attendees the ultimate vacation feeling. Fans have traveled from all over the world to attend this festival which hosts some of country music ‘s biggest stars. From the beach, charming local eateries and the music what more could you ask for?"   (jonesaroundtheworld.com / The 30 Best Country Music Festivals in the U.S.A.)

"Black people already love country music. Kacey Musgraves and Chris Stapleton, [Black people] love them regardless of genre, because we know their music — with its strings of R&B, gospel and soul apparent in it — is some of the best music out there. That's the flawless standard I'm approaching." (Madeline Edwards / tennessean.com, Juni, 23 2022)

"So glad you asked, because nobody does ask. And the problem is, at the time we didn't wanna talk about what was going on internally. Or I should take that back. BK [Brian Kelley] did not wanna talk about what was going on. I wanted to talk about the shifts that were happening, the decisions that were being made and the conversations that were being had. But I also wanted to respect BKs desire not to talk about it. He is the one that initiated the whole solo thing in the first place. So basically nothing got said."
