Jake Owen is brand new on the radio with his single, “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” — it’s the first song from his next album — and along with the excitement of new music on the air, Jake is also enjoying a busy summer traveling and touring. In a recent issue of Country Weekly, Jake talked about his love for getting out on the water for the fun of wakeboarding, but what else does Jake do to relax? It turns out, it’s pretty easy for him to hop in his truck, crank some country music, and just drive. Either that, “Or hangin’ with friends and really makin’ a point to have a good time with the time that you have. I never want to look back and wish that I would have done something differently.” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Jake Owen talks about how he likes to chill out. (:21)
“If I get in the truck and can roll the windows down, put on some good country music, and just drive down the highway, and kinda get my mind off things. Or hangin’ with friends and really makin’ a point to have a good time with the time that you have. I never want to look back and wish that I would have done something differently than what I did.”
