Dustin Lynch<\/a> is sharing the stories of small town America in Tullahoma<\/i>, named for his own Tennessee Hometown. Already he\u2019s landed back-to-back No. 1 hits with its first two singles, \u201cGood Girl\u201d and \u201cRidin\u2019 Roads.\u201d <\/p>\n

During a visit to CMT, he chatted about a few of its other tracks, his Cowboys and Angels Fund, and the best place to impress a girl in Nashville.<\/p>\n

CMT: You\u2019ve often described Tullahoma<\/em> as a complete body of work. What kind of a theme would you say ties these songs together?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DL: That\u2019s my hometown. That\u2019s what ties it together and the reason I think we ended up where we did is because my producer Zach Crowell and I set out to make an album that was for the small town boys and the small town girls. We kind of have this mental picture of what guy that is and who that is, what that character is, and so from day one we set out to write every lyric for him and for her. <\/p>\n

And as we were writing songs, as we were listening to songs, if it didn\u2019t check all the boxes for those characters, then they wouldn\u2019t make the pile that we\u2019d look at to record. So I think that\u2019s why we ended up where we did. It was just a natural thing. I didn\u2019t set out to make an album about my hometown. It was for the small town boys and girls.<\/p>\n
