It's a strange feeling to look back like this and reflect a bit, it's been five amazing years since I came to Nashville. Time definitely moves more quickly when you're having fun, but at the same time, the "Calm Before The Storm" seems like ages ago. This Greatest Hits album is a very special milestone for me. In 1996, I started out wide-eyed and really not knowing what the musical path I had chosen had in store; every dream has been surpassed, and yet today I feel ever more passionate about what I do. If this is just the first five years, I can't wait to see what the next five will hold. I hope and pray that I will get to spend the rest of my life putting smiles on people's faces, writing and performing songs, helping folks forget about their tough day at work, using music to change lives, and bringing glory to the God that gives me the strength to do all of this...that's what I want to be remembered for.
This album is dedicated to my fans; thank you all so much for being here on this ride of a lifetime.
