Exclusive: Chris Janson on Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah,” writing with Guns N’ Roses and his Opry debut
Chris Janson is one heck of a songwriter.
With an impressive resume of work (which includes writing with Guns N' Roses and Bill Anderson), the singer is looking for his own solo breakout hit with "Better I Don't," a song he co-wrote with his wife Kelly and Pat Burns. Of course, the casual fan might know him as one of the songwriters behind Tim McGraw's 2012 summer hit "Truck Yeah," which Chris describes as "one of the coolest" co-writes he's ever done.
Nashville Gab had the opportunity to talk with Chris about his songwriting pedigree (and "Truck Yeah"), as well as his Grand Ole Opry debut and more.
