- - what a voice.
- 00:07:18.361 --> 00:07:19.595
- You must have had some experience in the past
- 00:07:19.595 --> 00:07:22.532
- Singing bass in a gospel quartet somewhere, right?
- 00:07:22.532 --> 00:07:26.302
- - it was funny, 'cause i had always kind of
- 00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:28.871
- Gravitated towards those lower voices.
- 00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:31.040
- And so our church actually had an older men's quartet,
- 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.877
- And every time they would sing there at the church,
- 00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:38.548
- I would just idolize that bass singer.
- 00:07:38.548 --> 00:07:41.551
- You know, i just thought he was like a superhero to me.
- 00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:43.886
- And i got to thinking one sunday, i was like,
- 00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:48.724
- "man, you know, i could find a few other guys my age
- 00:07:48.724 --> 00:07:52.228
- And we could start our own quartet,"
- 00:07:52.228 --> 00:07:53.863
- And so that's what we did.
- 00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:55.064
- We called ourselves the thankful hearts.
- 00:07:55.064 --> 00:07:56.599
- And on some songs, you know, i actually sang the lead,
- 00:07:56.599 --> 00:08:00.536
- But for most of the songs, i actually sang the bass part
- 00:08:00.536 --> 00:08:02.905
- 'cause nobody else could hit those low notes.
- 00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:04.507
- [both laugh]
- 00:08:04.507 --> 00:08:05.741
- - man, you do have a low range.
- 00:08:05.741 --> 00:08:07.743
- Can you remember some of the songs
- 00:08:07.743 --> 00:08:09.412
- That you sang with that group?
- 00:08:09.412 --> 00:08:12.415
- - yeah, we sang songs like "feelin' fine;"
- 00:08:12.415 --> 00:08:16.485
- "anxious for nothing."
- 00:08:16.485 --> 00:08:18.254
- You know, actually, "without him"
- 00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:19.789
- Is actually one of the songs on this record.
- 00:08:19.789 --> 00:08:21.624
- That's actually one of the songs that we would sing.
- 00:08:21.624 --> 00:08:24.327
- But we'd sing all kinds of stuff.
- 00:08:24.327 --> 00:08:26.128
- - we're in the little town where i was born.
- 00:08:26.128 --> 00:08:29.865
- And i was telling you earlier,
- 00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:31.534
- I haven't strayed very far from here.
- 00:08:31.534 --> 00:08:33.536
- But you also grew up in a small little town.
- 00:08:33.536 --> 00:08:36.138
- - i did.
- 00:08:36.138 --> 00:08:37.707
- I never really called it a town
- 00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:39.542
- Because it wasn't really a town.
- 00:08:39.542 --> 00:08:41.210
- It was more of a-- just a farming community
- 00:08:41.210 --> 00:08:43.546
- There in rural south carolina.
- 00:08:43.546 --> 00:08:45.548
- Well, there's a lot of tobacco farmers
- 00:08:45.548 --> 00:08:47.016
- In my, you know, lineage and--
- 00:08:47.016 --> 00:08:48.884
- Bill: was your dad a farmer?
- 00:08:48.884 --> 00:08:50.453
- Josh: no.
- 00:08:50.453 --> 00:08:51.787
- He--he was, i guess, the first one in his family
- 00:08:51.787 --> 00:08:56.692
- To actually go to college.
- 00:08:56.692 --> 00:08:57.893
- And the philosophy or the idea, you know,
- 00:08:57.893 --> 00:09:00.730
- In their minds was that, you know,
- 00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:03.065
- They wanted to do better than their parents did
- 00:09:03.065 --> 00:09:06.569
- And they wanted, you know, me and my siblings
- 00:09:06.569 --> 00:09:08.804
- To do better than they did in life.
- 00:09:08.804 --> 00:09:10.573
- And that's pretty much what's happened.
- 00:09:10.573 --> 00:09:12.808
- Um, and it's because they made sacrifices
- 00:09:12.808 --> 00:09:16.078
- And did what it took to get us to where we needed to be
- 00:09:16.078 --> 00:09:19.582
- To chase our dreams and chase our passions.
- 00:09:19.582 --> 00:09:21.884
- And they would push me to get out there,
- 00:09:21.884 --> 00:09:24.186
- And i would sing at beauty pageants
- 00:09:24.186 --> 00:09:26.522
- And private parties and--
- 00:09:26.522 --> 00:09:28.391
- Anywhere anybody wanted a singer,
- 00:09:28.391 --> 00:09:30.526
- They would push me to go out there.
- 00:09:30.526 --> 00:09:32.028
- 'cause a lot of times, i didn't want to.
- 00:09:32.028 --> 00:09:33.362
- I didn't think it was necessary.
- 00:09:33.362 --> 00:09:35.297
- But they saw that i needed to hit the ground running
- 00:09:35.297 --> 00:09:38.434
- And work hard at it and develop myself.
- 00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:41.871
- - you know, one of the biggest questions that i get asked,
- 00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:45.841
- Because i've done this for so long, is this.
- 00:09:45.841 --> 00:09:49.045
- How do you get started?
- 00:09:49.045 --> 00:09:50.546
- - [laughs]
- 00:09:50.546 --> 00:09:51.781
- - so if you're listening out there,
- 00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:53.149
- Josh just told you how to get started.
- 00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:54.884
- - yeah. - anytime a door opens--
- 00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:56.452
- - that's right.
- 00:09:56.452 --> 00:09:57.787
- - i'll never forget one time talking with vince gill.
- 00:09:57.787 --> 00:09:59.455
- I said, "why do you sing with anybody who asks you to sing?"
- 00:09:59.455 --> 00:10:03.159
- You know what he said? - [laughs]
- 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.394
- - he said, "because for so long, nobody asked me."
- 00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:09.598
- I thought, "what a great-- what a great answer."
- 00:10:09.598 --> 00:10:11.801
- I was in the studio the day that you were
- 00:10:11.801 --> 00:10:14.470
- Recording this song that you wrote.
- 00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:18.107
- And i know this record is very important to you
- 00:10:18.107 --> 00:10:21.577
- Because of--because of your church background.
- 00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:24.513
- And i read your book.
- 00:10:24.513 --> 00:10:26.148
- - oh, well, thank you.
- 00:10:26.148 --> 00:10:27.183
- - and a very interesting book
- 00:10:27.183 --> 00:10:29.251
- About how your faith has guided you
- 00:10:29.251 --> 00:10:30.820
- In about everything that you have done:
- 00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:33.022
- Picking a mate for life, picking a life's vocation,
- 00:10:33.022 --> 00:10:36.225
- What kind of songs you're gonna sing.
- 00:10:36.225 --> 00:10:38.894
- And so the hymns were obviously
- 00:10:38.894 --> 00:10:43.199
- A very important part of where you came from.
- 00:10:43.199 --> 00:10:47.369
- And they must have inspired you,
- 00:10:47.369 --> 00:10:49.038
- But at the same time in inspiring you,
- 00:10:49.038 --> 00:10:51.040
- You said, "i want to write a song myself
- 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:54.376
- That says exactly what i want to say."
- 00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:56.612
- - when it came time for me to do this gospel record,
- 00:10:56.612 --> 00:10:58.681
- I didn't want to just make it, you know,
- 00:10:58.681 --> 00:11:00.649
- Chock-full of just the old standards
- 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:02.785
- That everybody's heard a million times.
- 00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:04.787
- And so this one particular day--
- 00:11:04.787 --> 00:11:06.889
- I had this title written down
- 00:11:06.889 --> 00:11:09.125
- For a long time, "i serve a savior."
- 00:11:09.125 --> 00:11:11.127
- I just thought it had a good ring to it.
- 00:11:11.127 --> 00:11:12.962
- And... [sighs]
- 00:11:12.962 --> 00:11:14.130
- We started writing it, and we were like,
- 00:11:14.130 --> 00:11:15.798
- "we need to write, like, a modern-day hymn."
- 00:11:15.798 --> 00:11:18.134
- And that's exactly what happened.
- 00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:21.804
- And i even--i even managed
- 00:11:21.804 --> 00:11:23.572
- To get a little recitation in there, so--
- 00:11:23.572 --> 00:11:24.607
- - yeah. - [laughs]
- 00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:25.875
- - well, it was a joy to be there that day.
- 00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:28.177
- Gloria was with me,
- 00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:29.612
- And to hear you do it,
- 00:11:29.612 --> 00:11:31.480

- To me, i still think
- 00:20:56.244 --> 00:20:57.879
- One of the greatest songs ever written is,
- 00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.882
- "hear that lonesome whip-poor-will.
- 00:21:00.882 --> 00:21:03.218

- 00:21:12.060 --> 00:21:13.428
- Some depression in his life
- 00:21:13.428 --> 00:21:14.896

- - but he could express it, couldn't he?
- 00:21:29.010 --> 00:21:30.579
- - he didn't try to overcomplicate things.
- 00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:32.681
- He kept things very simple. - very simple.
- 00:21:32.681 --> 00:21:34.516
- - he got right to the heart of the matter,
- 00:21:34.516 --> 00:21:36.251
- And that's the way it is with this song, "i saw the light."
- 00:21:36.251 --> 00:21:40.188
- You know, he--he just basically talks about how,
- 00:21:40.188 --> 00:21:43.525
- You know, he was going through a time
- 00:21:43.525 --> 00:21:45.527
- Or at least the singer in the song
- 00:21:45.527 --> 00:21:46.695
- Is going through a time
- 00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:47.796
- Of, like, he's-- he's rejecting the truth.
- 00:21:47.796 --> 00:21:51.133
- He's rejecting the lord;
- 00:21:51.133 --> 00:21:52.701
- He's rejecting the goodness that he can bring,
- 00:21:52.701 --> 00:21:56.371
- And he just talks about how he's going through
- 00:21:56.371 --> 00:21:59.908
- This rough spot where he's pushed everything away,
- 00:21:59.908 --> 00:22:04.212
- But finally after some time and going through this journey,
- 00:22:04.212 --> 00:22:09.284
- He's--he finally gets it.
- 00:22:09.284 --> 00:22:11.386
- He finally opens his eyes and sees what it's all about.
- 00:22:11.386 --> 00:22:15.557
- And, um--but the interesting thing to me--
- 00:22:15.557 --> 00:22:18.727
- I've always loved hank's version of this song,
- 00:22:18.727 --> 00:22:20.729
- But every version since then, to me, just sounds like,
- 00:22:20.729 --> 00:22:24.232
- You know, some song that somebody would get a tambourine
- 00:22:24.232 --> 00:22:27.769
- And jump around a campfire or something.
- 00:22:27.769 --> 00:22:29.638
- You know, it's just some big happy song.
- 00:22:29.638 --> 00:22:31.506
- But to me, when you read the lyrics,
- 00:22:31.506 --> 00:22:33.675
- There's redemption in the song, but this guy's--
- 00:22:33.675 --> 00:22:36.178
- He's gone through hell and back
- 00:22:36.178 --> 00:22:38.180
- To try to--to try to get to where he is.
- 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:40.982
- - where he saw the light. - and so...

- And it just--all of a sudden,
- 00:22:53.695 --> 00:22:56.465
- It's like i jumped out of bed and i grabbed my guitar
- 00:22:56.465 --> 00:22:59.835
- And i turned my recorder on on my phone
- 00:22:59.835 --> 00:23:01.803

- - josh, is it true that you sang this song,
- 00:30:35.223 --> 00:30:39.360
- The "long black train," on the opry?
- 00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:43.031
- Did you sing it before you got--
- 00:30:43.031 --> 00:30:45.099
- Before it was on a record, or had you recorded it?
- 00:30:45.099 --> 00:30:47.769
- - i hadn't even recorded it yet.
- 00:30:47.769 --> 00:30:49.470
- - and you sang-- [laughs]
- 00:30:49.470 --> 00:30:50.772
- Now, that is very seldom done.
- 00:30:50.772 --> 00:30:53.041
- So you told the folks,
- 00:30:53.041 --> 00:30:54.275
- "hey, folks, here is a new song," right?
- 00:30:54.275 --> 00:30:56.344
- - yeah, it--
- 00:30:56.344 --> 00:30:58.079
- Well, and it took me a lot of years to understand
- 00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:03.084
- The significance of my opry debut.
- 00:31:03.084 --> 00:31:06.054
- 2001 was an incredible year for me.
- 00:31:06.054 --> 00:31:11.125
- I started dating my wife in early 2001.
- 00:31:11.125 --> 00:31:16.230
- I graduated from belmont in august, i think, of '01.
- 00:31:16.230 --> 00:31:21.970
- And then i signed my publishing deal in october of '01.
- 00:31:21.970 --> 00:31:25.773
- I signed my record deal in november of '01.
- 00:31:25.773 --> 00:31:28.509
- And then i made my opry debut in december of '01.
- 00:31:28.509 --> 00:31:32.747
- And so here i was--
- 00:31:32.747 --> 00:31:36.784
- I basically had to beg my way onto the opry stage.
- 00:31:36.784 --> 00:31:40.288
- My manager at the time, jody williams, and i
- 00:31:40.288 --> 00:31:42.423
- Had gone to pete fisher,
- 00:31:42.423 --> 00:31:43.491
- The general manager of the opry,
- 00:31:43.491 --> 00:31:44.625
- And basically begged him for me to go on.
- 00:31:44.625 --> 00:31:47.328
- And then he finally relented. he was like, "you know what?
- 00:31:47.328 --> 00:31:49.530
- "i'll just let you go on late
- 00:31:49.530 --> 00:31:51.466
- "one friday night before christmas, you know,
- 00:31:51.466 --> 00:31:53.968
- "and sing one song with the staff band
- 00:31:53.968 --> 00:31:56.671
- Late in the show."
- 00:31:56.671 --> 00:31:57.672
- - throw you to the wolves.
- 00:31:57.672 --> 00:31:58.773
- - yeah, and so i was like,
- 00:31:58.773 --> 00:32:00.074
- "hey, that's fine by me."
- 00:32:00.074 --> 00:32:01.876
- And so the only song that we had rehearsed
- 00:32:01.876 --> 00:32:06.481
- With the staff band was "long black train."
- 00:32:06.481 --> 00:32:08.916
- I had given them a chart of a demo that i had done of it.
- 00:32:08.916 --> 00:32:12.286
- It wasn't even the record version.
- 00:32:12.286 --> 00:32:13.588
- I hadn't even recorded my record yet.
- 00:32:13.588 --> 00:32:15.723
- I didn't have, you know, a video.
- 00:32:15.723 --> 00:32:19.227
- Nobody knew who josh turner was.
- 00:32:19.227 --> 00:32:21.029
- And that's kind of what i'm getting at
- 00:32:21.029 --> 00:32:22.663
- Is that i go out and i sing this song,
- 00:32:22.663 --> 00:32:26.034
- And about halfway through the first pass of the song...
- 00:32:26.034 --> 00:32:29.037
- - they start applauding.
- 00:32:29.037 --> 00:32:30.038
- - people start standing up.
- 00:32:30.038 --> 00:32:31.339
- People start clapping and stomping the floor.
- 00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:33.341
- And i mean, by the end of the song,
- 00:32:33.341 --> 00:32:34.842
- The whole crowd was on their feet.
- 00:32:34.842 --> 00:32:36.310
- They're chanting.
- 00:32:36.310 --> 00:32:37.311
- They're clapping and everything.
- 00:32:37.311 --> 00:32:38.846
- And i leave. i wave good-bye, you know.
- 00:32:38.846 --> 00:32:41.282
- And i'm going back to my dressing room.
- 00:32:41.282 --> 00:32:43.084
- - and they call you back.
- 00:32:43.084 --> 00:32:44.485
- - and i had already started my way up the steps,
- 00:32:44.485 --> 00:32:46.721
- And they're--
- 00:32:46.721 --> 00:32:48.356
- You know, people are calling for me.
- 00:32:48.356 --> 00:32:50.058
- They're, "bill wants you back out onstage."
- 00:32:50.058 --> 00:32:51.592
- And i'm like, "for what?
- 00:32:51.592 --> 00:32:52.760
- I don't have any more songs to play."
- 00:32:52.760 --> 00:32:53.928
- [laughter]
- 00:32:53.928 --> 00:32:54.929
- And so... - you sang it again.
- 00:32:54.929 --> 00:32:56.230
- - i started the song over again from the top,
- 00:32:56.230 --> 00:32:59.033
- And somewhere in that first or second verse,
- 00:32:59.033 --> 00:33:02.737
- I just completely, like--
- 00:33:02.737 --> 00:33:04.806
- I got overwhelmed with emotion,
- 00:33:04.806 --> 00:33:06.707
- And i just-- i got choked up.
- 00:33:06.707 --> 00:33:08.709
- And i lost my place.
- 00:33:08.709 --> 00:33:10.311
- I started singing all over the place.
- 00:33:10.311 --> 00:33:12.447
- The band's doing their darndest
- 00:33:12.447 --> 00:33:14.082
- To try to follow me and figure out where i'm at.
- 00:33:14.082 --> 00:33:17.485
- Well, that became a historic night
- 00:33:17.485 --> 00:33:19.921
- Because nobody had ever seen anything like that
- 00:33:19.921 --> 00:33:22.623
- Since hank williams had made his debut, where he--
- 00:33:22.623 --> 00:33:26.627
- And that's all i could think about that night was,
- 00:33:26.627 --> 00:33:28.629
- "i'm standing in the same spot
- 00:33:28.629 --> 00:33:29.831
- That hank stood during his debut."
- 00:33:29.831 --> 00:33:31.566
- He got six or seven encores from "lovesick blues."
- 00:33:31.566 --> 00:33:33.868
- I'm looking up at the same balcony
- 00:33:33.868 --> 00:33:35.303
- And standing on the same stage and everything.
- 00:33:35.303 --> 00:33:37.371
- It was--i was overcome with the gravity of this.
- 00:33:37.371 --> 00:33:40.741
- - so were you in the ryman or the new--
- 00:33:40.741 --> 00:33:42.076
- - i was at the ryman, yeah.
- 00:33:42.076 --> 00:33:43.444
- - that's the place, yeah.
- 00:33:43.444 --> 00:33:44.946
- - and so...
- 00:33:44.946 --> 00:33:46.314
- That's when it finally dawned on me, like,
- 00:33:46.314 --> 00:33:47.949
- Why it was so genuine and so emotional that night
- 00:33:47.949 --> 00:33:53.421
- Was because it was strictly because of the song
- 00:33:53.421 --> 00:33:59.293
- And just my delivery of it.
- 00:33:59.293 --> 00:34:00.962
- Like, that's what just got people going that night.
- 00:34:00.962 --> 00:34:04.932
- - you know what we call that kind of thing in our world,
- 00:34:04.932 --> 00:34:07.268
- And i think you'd agree?
- 00:34:07.268 --> 00:34:08.769
- A god thing.
- 00:34:08.769 --> 00:34:09.804
- - yeah. it was.
- 00:34:09.804 --> 00:34:11.339
- It was. - you know, i mean,
- 00:34:11.339 --> 00:34:13.174
- How else do you explain that?
- 00:34:13.174 --> 00:34:14.909
- - that was just one of many things
- 00:34:14.909 --> 00:34:17.078
- That, you know, just reminded me
- 00:34:17.078 --> 00:34:19.046
- That he's got his hand on me and he's looking out for me
- 00:34:19.046 --> 00:34:21.415
- And he's helping me along the way,
- 00:34:21.415 --> 00:34:24.585

- 00:38:30.364 --> 00:38:36.437
- Of the last century.
- 00:39:39.433 --> 00:39:42.736
- In the churches today, we talk a lot about
- 00:39:42.736 --> 00:39:44.738
- Praise and worship.
- 00:39:44.738 --> 00:39:47.041
- But the greatest one was this one.
- 00:39:47.041 --> 00:39:49.343
- "and when i think that god, his son not sparing,
- 00:39:49.343 --> 00:39:53.914
- "sent him to die, i scarce can take it in
- 00:39:53.914 --> 00:39:57.184
- "that on the cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
- 00:39:57.184 --> 00:40:00.721
- He bled and died to take away my sin."
- 00:40:00.721 --> 00:40:03.958
- What a great, great song.
- 00:40:03.958 --> 00:40:05.292
- - see, you're so good at that.
- 00:40:05.292 --> 00:40:06.427
- 'cause i can't recite lyrics.
- 00:40:06.427 --> 00:40:08.195
- I have to sing them because i can't think of what they are
- 00:40:08.195 --> 00:40:10.397
- If i just talk.
- 00:40:10.397 --> 00:40:12.500
- But "how great thou art" obviously is a song
- 00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:16.036
- That most everybody knows,
- 00:40:16.036 --> 00:40:17.271
- Whether you're a christian or not,
- 00:40:17.271 --> 00:40:18.873
- And this is one of those songs that i had considered--
- 00:40:18.873 --> 00:40:24.545
- And i did change a few lyrics within the song,
- 00:40:24.545 --> 00:40:28.215
- But it was just literally one or two or three.
- 00:40:28.215 --> 00:40:32.520
- And i even toyed with the idea
- 00:40:32.520 --> 00:40:35.589
- Of changing it to "how great you are"
- 00:40:35.589 --> 00:40:38.158
- Because that's how we would say it nowadays.
- 00:40:38.158 --> 00:40:40.561
- - yeah, yeah.
- 00:40:40.561 --> 00:40:41.762
- - but i was like, "i can't change this."
- 00:40:41.762 --> 00:40:43.364
- - you probably shouldn't have done that.
- 00:40:43.364 --> 00:40:45.766
- Wise, wise decision. [laughs] - yeah, yeah.
- 00:40:45.766 --> 00:40:48.035
- My life would be in danger if i did that.
- 00:40:48.035 --> 00:40:50.104
- There's just some things you don't mess with,
- 00:40:50.104 --> 00:40:52.473

- - josh, i have so much respect for country writers.
- 00:45:13.834 --> 00:45:18.672
- First of all, they are extremely creative and clever.
- 00:45:18.672 --> 00:45:24.111
- But i love what they do even on gospel subjects,
- 00:45:24.111 --> 00:45:28.515
- Because they can take more risks,
- 00:45:28.515 --> 00:45:30.184
- I guess, than gospel writers.
- 00:45:30.184 --> 00:45:31.952
- We have to make sure our "thee"s and "thou"s
- 00:45:31.952 --> 00:45:34.254
- And everything is correct.
- 00:45:34.254 --> 00:45:35.589
- It just seems like they look into another window
- 00:45:35.589 --> 00:45:37.958
- When they look at the gospel.
- 00:45:37.958 --> 00:45:39.760
- So i have so much respect for them.
- 00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.830
- But you are an interesting case here
- 00:45:42.830 --> 00:45:45.666
- Where you're not a gospel writer
- 00:45:45.666 --> 00:45:48.068
- Or you're not a gospel singer, as such,
- 00:45:48.068 --> 00:45:50.904
- But you are a christian person who sings country music.
- 00:45:50.904 --> 00:45:55.475
- I think it's fantastic.
- 00:45:55.475 --> 00:45:56.777
- - well, we country artists
- 00:45:56.777 --> 00:45:58.579
- Are allowed to be grammatically incorrect too,
- 00:45:58.579 --> 00:46:00.380
- So we have a lot more freedom.
- 00:46:00.380 --> 00:46:03.417
- Hence the song "me and god."
- 00:46:03.417 --> 00:46:05.385
- - [laughs]
- 00:46:05.385 --> 00:46:06.553
- - and, you know, but hey,
- 00:46:06.553 --> 00:46:08.655
- Don't let grammar get in the way of a good song, right?
- 00:46:08.655 --> 00:46:10.891
- - a good song, never.
- 00:46:10.891 --> 00:46:12.392
- - so i've had a lot of people ask me,
- 00:46:12.392 --> 00:46:14.695
- "why didn't you get into gospel music?
- 00:46:14.695 --> 00:46:16.029
- "why didn't you become
- 00:46:16.029 --> 00:46:17.130
- A christian contemporary singer?"
- 00:46:17.130 --> 00:46:18.932
- Or what have you.
- 00:46:18.932 --> 00:46:20.901
- And the answer is pretty simple.
- 00:46:20.901 --> 00:46:22.736
- I tell them that god called me to be a country singer.
- 00:46:22.736 --> 00:46:24.872
- - absolutely.
- 00:46:24.872 --> 00:46:25.973
- - and that's what--
- 00:46:25.973 --> 00:46:27.374
- That's where my heart's always been.
- 00:46:27.374 --> 00:46:29.343
- That's what i've always loved.
- 00:46:29.343 --> 00:46:31.945
- I've been a student of country music
- 00:46:31.945 --> 00:46:34.014
- From a very early age.
- 00:46:34.014 --> 00:46:36.717
- But i grew up in a christian home.
- 00:46:36.717 --> 00:46:38.151
- I grew up going to church. i grew up reading the bible.
- 00:46:38.151 --> 00:46:40.120
- And i've had a lot of spiritual experiences in my life
- 00:46:40.120 --> 00:46:43.023
- That have kind of defined me and my life and my path,
- 00:46:43.023 --> 00:46:47.661
- You know, that i've been on.
- 00:46:47.661 --> 00:46:49.463

- And what i'm about, what my beliefs are,
- 00:46:56.570 --> 00:46:58.572
- I try to just be as real about it as i possibly can
- 00:46:58.572 --> 00:47:02.576
- Because i feel like nonbelievers and non-christians

- They don't want to be preached to.
