| 0:00.0 | All right, we're here with Aaron Watson, Aaron, new song, Crash Landing, Love It. |
| 0:19.2 | But what's not I were talking kind of before we kind of jumped on here, you put out music |
| 0:23.9 | like crazy, which I love because you kind of don't have anybody above you kind of tone, |
| 0:28.4 | when or when not to put out music. So your fans are always getting music. Do you ever |
| 0:33.2 | rest or are you one of these guys that's like on to the next one, on to the next album? |
