    I've never judged a musician by their album. That's studio magic(most of the time) Always listen to them live and you'll know what I mean. These guys still got it! They just belong performing together.

    I’ve always loved this song even as a kid.. I’m older now and lived a wonderful life but it’s normal to wonder about some choices made.. That’s why I love the line “Would I only trade regrets”.. That’s the true beauty of this song

    the best country music group ever. I grew up on these guys. They were a constant thing in my house growing up. I remember my mama just randomly singing their songs while she was cooking or cleaning. god I'd give anything to go back to that. Marty rabon is one of the most under rated country singers their ever was. He didn't get nowhere near the credit he deserved. Truly an amazing voice
