You don't have to drive a truck to fall in love with Lee Brice's "I Drive Your Truck." In fact, for Kevin Bacon, it happened in a Prius. In talking to Bacon and his brother Michael about their band, the Bacon Brothers, the conversation came around to country music. "I love storytelling," Kevin said. "I love a great country song. I love that feeling in the third verse when the lyrics give you chills. When it works, it's fantastic." And then he told me about discovering Brice's new song. "One of the best songs on my iPod is 'I Drive Your Truck.' I just happened to be driving -- not my truck, but my Prius -- and I heard it, and it's just got so much going for it, including a very strong anti-war message. I love that song. When someone puts that together with the same kind of chords and the same instrumentation and the same words from the English language, but shapes it in a new way, I just love it."

Singer-songwriter Lee Brice is wearing several hats these days, including fiance, father, hitmaker of No. 1 singles, current tourmate of Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley, and upcoming tourmate of Brad Paisley. Believe it or not, he’s ready to add one more hat to the pile, as he’s going to play producer for new duo American Young.

“American Young [is] made up of Kristy Osmunson, who used to be in Bomshel, and John Stone, who produced my record with me,” Brice tells the Boot. “Kristy was the girl in Bomshel who played fiddle and sang, and she’s an unbelievable player and singer. Since John produced my record with me, I’m producing a record with him. They’ve recorded a few of my songs that I’m real excited about, and I can’t wait for people to hear them.”

Lee Brice loves being on the concert trail, so the time spent with Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley on the Locked and Reloaded tour was perfect for him. One of the highlights for the singer was joining the two superstars to sing "Bad Angel," the tune they originally performed with Jamey Johnson.

"I respect them so much as people and artists and entertainers," Lee tells The Boot. "They are two of my favorites. Dierks is so easygoing, such a fun guy and so humble. Miranda kicks so much ass. They're just real people and I was happy to be part of that tour. We had such a good time."
