He sent this song and said he wanted to do it on the ACMs and then shortly after said he wanted to do a full-blown recorded version of it … I’ve been a fan of his for a long, long time. He’s an incredible singer and an incredible songwriter and we’ve been buddies for a couple years, so this is a dream come true.”
