Big & Rich made a lot of noise by incorporating rock and rap on their first
albums. This time around, there’s soul and reggae, by way of John Legend, who
does a cameo on "Eternity," and Wyclef Jean. Rich went to see Jean, strictly as a
fan, at the House of Blues in Los Angeles and wound up being pulled onto the
stage. The crowd had no idea who Big & Rich were, he says, but Jean told them,
"There are no boundaries. They tell us there are boundaries just so we don’t run
past them." Then, John said, "He starts free-styling about Nashville and Charlie
Daniels and us, and how it’s all the same."
The album’s theme, Kenny said, came from a conversation he had with a friend,
"and the realization that between raising hell and ‘Amazing Grace’ is that fine line
that we’re walking on all the time, trying to live life to its fullest and at the same
time knowing that every day of our lives is a blessing. And I feel like, to those
given much, much is expected. We’ve gotta reach out there and help those that
need our help right now." Read more »
