PS: If you could collaborate with any noncountry artist, who would you choose?
BE: Oh, man. I really like John Mayer. I've just always loved John Mayer. I love that he kind of mixes his soulful, very bluesy side with the pop side, with the vocal side. He's kind of a mesh of a lot of music that I love. He's always been a major musical influence for me, so I've always thought that he would be a fun one to get some of that bluesy, soulful side out that I've been inspired by because of his music.
PS: Do you have a go-to karaoke song?
BE: "No Diggity," no doubt, all day long [laughing]. Blackstreet.
