Jake Owen says that the new music he’s playing on the road, as well as the things he’s recorded in the past, are all songs that truly connect with him. (:26)
“Yeah, I mean, anytime I record a song, it has to do somethin’ for me personally. I mean, I don’t just look at it as though, ‘Well, this sounds like a song that would be a hit on the radio, so I should just put my voice on it.’ In order for me to put my voice on a song, I have to believe it, and I have to want to be a part of it, and so a lot of these new songs — and any song really that I’ve recorded previously is…are things that I enjoy gettin’ out there and singin’. I enjoy watchin’ people sing it back.”
