Story Behind the Song

The biggest hit of Charley Pride's career, was "Kiss An Angel Good Morning". The song spent five weeks at number one, longer than any of his other recordings.

"What I really wanted to do in that song was to write a child-like Dr. Seuss lyric ..."

"We try to keep it conversational and keep it as real as we can."

"I want to hear the songs before Blake Shelton hears them. I want to hear the songs before Luke Bryan hears them."

"It's an amazing way to say, 'We'll be together forever ...'"

The first ever number one song by Buck Owens, "Act Naturally", originated from a guy breaking off a date with his girlfriend.

"I loved that a female is the one taking charge ..."

"I quickly realized I was telling my own story, which was the story of being a road-dog country singer."

"It was good, but we had to make it better."

"It was love at first listen; in fact, I listened to it three or four times in a row ..."
