We also dive into touring with ‪@RileyGreenMusic‬, his respect for artists like ‪@chrisstapleton‬ and ‪@zachtop‬, mentoring young musicians, and advice he received from ‪@WillieNelson‬. Jamey gives us his Mount Rushmore of country music and great, never-before-told stories of Rhett Akins and Brock Lesnar.
