Before I made my first record, I had not toured, I had no road band and a very slim amount of experience in the studio. These past four years since leaving Big Machine to become fully independent have been a whirlwind, and I've learned so much from so many great artists and bands that I have had the pleasure of touring with, including artists Whitey Morgan, Blackberry Smoke, and Cody Jinks. They taught me the importance of being at the wheel of your destiny. I was really on edge for a while about the frustrations of not being able to come out with another album in so long, but I'm very glad that I have waited five years to make another record because it's given me the time to focus on finding my voice as a songwriter and all the pain and joy that has come my way. - Alex Williams
