Welcome to The List,
The last couple of years have been quite a whirlwind for Jackson Dean, and he’s had the opportunity to check off quite a few things on his career bucket list, including several venues he’s always dreamed of playing. But are there other venues he still dreams of performing in? “I’ve already done the Ryman, I’ve already done the Opry, I’ve done Red Rocks. Now, the funny thing is like, where are we gonna go next? I mean, the next step is to headline these places for sure, but where’s the next place? It’s a really great question I haven’t been able to answer for a little while. And I’ve been thinkin’ about, you know, where’s the next goal? I’ve even thought about all the O2s over in Europe and stuff. And I’m sure there’s stadiums over there and places over there that I don’t know about that I’d love to go. But I mean, I’ve been three years tourin’ around this country and gotten to all the lower 48 and played so many places. But yeah, we’re gonna keep settin’ goals for ourselves, and we’ve just checked so many off at this point ,you know. It’s a funny little problem to have.”

With the New Year quickly approaching, a lot of people will be making resolutions to improve certain aspects of their life. Considering Tim McGraw is probably one of the fittest guys in country music, his resolution probably won’t have to do with working out or eating healthier. So, we wondered if there was something in Tim’s life that he feels could use some improvement. “Gosh, there’s way more things on my list that I need to get better at than there are things that I’ve gotten better at. You know, we’re all a work in progress and every day you’re trying to do something to make yourself a better person. Some days you fail at that and some days you don’t. It’s hard not to dwell on the things that you’ve done wrong, but if you dwell on those things you sort of get lost in the muck. And my philosophy, I don’t always accomplish it, but all you can do is try to do the next best thing. You know, if you do something wrong, just try to do the next best thing.”
