In their chat, Alex teased some invaluable career advice given to him directly by Hank Jr., shared what it was like writing and recording duets with artists like Tracy Byrd, and playfully laid down a challenge over who has the upper hand when it comes to living a genuine farm life. Want to hear the whole story? What was Hank Jr.’s golden rule for dealing with critics? Who is Alex competing against for the ultimate "most country" title? And how can you score a bargain ticket to see him perform live on August 3rd?
