I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...he has been working his ass off!!! I don't think the guy has stopped touring at all since his album came out. I've never met him, but he seems so down to earth and normal and so unlike other artists who let fame and money go to their heads.He seems to have his on straight and it seems to trickle down through his band. I've seen him twice in concert and both were awesome and such a wonderful experience for me and my wife. We can't wait to see him again. I've been listening to his cd pretty much non- stop since it came out. There are so few cds out these days that you can just put on and listen to all the through without skipping any tracks. You can do that with this one and it is refreshing and awesome. Don't stop rockin guys!!!!
