NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Billy Currington has a no-rush policy. He doesn't have to say it or put it in a contract: It's written in his DNA.
The 36-year-old country singer from the Georgia coast recently released his fourth album, "Enjoy Yourself," and the leadoff single, "Pretty Good At Drinkin' Beer," hit the No. 1 spot at the same time for his sixth chart topper.
It's a sign that he should continue to listen to his internal clock. Some of the songs he chose for the new album he found years ago, but they just didn't feel right for a project until now.
"I just kept stashing them to the side," he said in a recent interview.
When it came time to record the album, he had about 30 tracks. He eventually narrowed them to 10, including a cover of the Dave Barnes song, "Until You," and one he co-wrote, "Bad Day of Fishing." Currington says each track reflects a different aspect of his personality.
"I definitely would never record a song that didn't fit me," he said.
Currington is opening shows on Carrie Underwood's 46-city tour this fall: "It's a blessing because she's so huge as an artist and brings so many people to the table that we've never seen, we've never played in front of."
But life on the road means that he has no real home. Instead, he hops around to different parts of the country without committing to one location, whether it's Hawaii, Georgia or Nashville: "Everywhere is just 'Rent a place, rent an apartment, rent a whatever.'"
