It\u2019s peaceful. To me, it\u2019s where I find inspiration. The next thing you know, you\u2019re on a song and you just kind of get into that moment you chase it until you finish it. And every once in a while, you\u2019ve got to unplug, and you gotta go somewhere and slow down. And for me, it\u2019s hopping in the truck, turning on music and taking off to the middle of nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a Louisiana native who was raised in a musical family, Davis says wouldn\u2019t change anything about his road to success. He told CMT.com on Tuesday (May 28) at Tootsie\u2019s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, Tenn. the network was a key component in grooming him into the artist he is today along with his father\u2019s John Prine collection he grew up listening to on trips to the family deer camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCMT is a major part of my love for country music,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI fell in love with waking up watching the <em>Hot 20 Countdown<\/em>. I remember one holiday a cousin of mine bet me that I didn\u2019t know to every word to every lyric of all 20 songs on <em>Hot 20 Countdown<\/em>. I think we got to about 12 before we had to go do something, but I didn\u2019t miss one. It\u2019s such a key part of country music, and I\u2019m happy to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis and Tenpenny are part of an exclusive CMT Music Awards preview on an all new <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/shows\/hot-20-countdown\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CMT Hot 20 Countdown<\/a><\/em>, airing Saturday and Sunday (June 1-2) at 9 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>Voting to determine the winners in each category at the 2019 CMT Music Awards is underway at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/cmt-music-awards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CMT.com<\/a> through 11:59 p.m. ET on June 4.
