Hey y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm your host, Sid Evans.

And today I'm talking with a rising country music star who always dreamed of making it to Nashville.

And now he's one of the hottest acts in Music City. Dylan Scott grew up in Bastrop, Louisiana, a small town in the northeast corner of the

state, not far from the home of another Louisiana sensation, Lainey Wilson. His father, Scotty Robinson,

also had a career in country music for a while, so clearly the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Scotty taught the young Dylan to play guitar and piano,

and he also taught him the value of hard work,

whether it was working construction, cleaning carburetors, or operating a jackhammer.

Now Dylan Scott is working harder than ever,

performing for bigger and bigger crowds

and coming out with a highly anticipated

new album called Easy Does It. We'll talk about all that, the song he wrote about his hometown,

his friendship with Morgan Wallen, and how his wife knows when a song is a keeper. All in this

week's Biscuits and Jam.

Dylan Scott, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Good to be here.

Thanks for having me.

Where am I reaching you right now? I'm in Nashville right now. Okay. That's home base for you.

It is. I've been here. Shoot, man. 14 years now, which is crazy.

I saw somewhere that you've been coming to Nashville since you were 16 or something. Is that right?

So the first time I came to Nashville, I was 16 years old, just a visit, you know. My dad lived here when he was in his 20s, and so he was showing me around.

And I always knew I wanted to live here.
