“I don’t think any of it’s anything that I have done, that the song has done so well. I think it really is a testament to the song, to ‘I Told You So,’ and to Randy Travis ’cause he did such an amazing job writing this amazing song. I think no matter who sang it again, it would probably end up getting really high on the charts just because it’s a great song. So I’m very glad that he let me borrow his song for a little while.”

“They can expect to get 100% Josh Thompson. I think as an introduction to myself, this album is perfect. I’d written or co-written every song on the album — all 10 of ‘em — and you’re gonna hear a lot of my influences flowin’ through the center of it, but you know, at the same time, you’re gonna hear a new sound that’s definitely my own.”
