Brian Kelley wants to tell his \u201cTennessee Truth\u201d with his new album of the same name. The former Florida Georgia Line Star has struck out on his own after his split from duo Florida Georgia Line, but he\u2019s staying true to his roots with his new album \u201cTennessee Truth.\u201d The 38-year-old country music star told Fox News Digital that one of his Tennessee truths is that his father was born in Tennessee and moved to Nashville when he was about 2 years old. He said, \u201cAnd I\u2019ve got tons of aunts, uncles, cousins, and family members out in the Gallatin, Hendersonville area. And, so, No. 1, kind of the first Tennessee truth is, you know, this is this record\u2019s a tribute to my deep Tennessee roots in my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he moved to Nashville in 2007 to become a songwriter.\u00a0He added, \u201cI’m just so grateful that music is still leading my life. I’m still the guy hunting down songs, still may leave a conversation to go write down a lyric if it pops in my head, you know what I’m saying? At the end of the day, my Tennessee truth is that you know, I’m no different than those that are going to be jamming this record. Like I mentioned, you know, we’re in the same headspace on what our values are and how we navigate our life through fishing, hunting, the love of our lives, of family time, you know, God. We love this country. And we’re hard workers.”<\/p>\n

He said his record, which includes songs like “Trucks, Ducks, Bucks & Beer,” “King Ranch,” and “10 O\u2019Clock on the Dock,” are all about “living it and being it” and spending time with family.\u00a0“My wife Brittney, our family time together with our extended family means the world to me,” he said, adding he pulls lyrics “from my lifestyle of being in the woods or in the water. That’s where typically you can find me unless we’re on the road somewhere.” But he said his music is always about “just loving and living life to its fullest, you know what I’m saying? And working hard, having something to look forward to.”<\/p>\n
