Kane Brown tells Southern Living magazine that growing up he was ALWAYS on the straight and narrow…and it was because of his grandmother she raised him that way. Saying “Nana was a sheriff and a detective. She would take me for drives in her police car, and I would go down to the police station all the time, so the cops always knew who I was. I had that positivity of being in the jail but not being in the jail. So I feel like that was very important in my life.

With the Christmas holidays now a memory, it’s time to look forward the New Years celebrations. Justin Moore says HIS celebrations have mellowed over the years “My favorite kind of New Year’s has changed over the years. Back in the day, we stayed out and turned it up pretty loud and stayed out late and did all that. Nowadays with kids, it’s hard to even make it to midnight, so it’s changed over the years. But it’s changed for the better”.
