Ball game Quote by Tyler Childers
“I grew up on 23, country music highway, which is a stretch of road where Ricky Skaggs and Dwight Yoakam and Loretta Lynn played. Driving up and down that on the way to school - to baseball games, to anywhere - you see all these signs commemorating these artists. It was a point of pride for my area growing up.”
