Joe Nichols has been something of a subtle success story in country music, keeping his nose (and his headlines) clean and focusing on his live performances. With hits like “I’ll Wait for You” and “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” Joe Nichols proves that he’s got what it takes to stand the test of time.
“From playing singing live, I’ve learned that when I look at people’s faces when I’m singing, what touches them most — what gets them to lean forward rather than lean back — is when you show personality.” Joe Nichols mentions the Merle Haggard song “If I Could Only Fly,” done as a duet with Lee Ann Womack. “When I sing ‘I wish you could come with me/When I go again’, lines like that offer the opportunity to let people get to know you, and really quickly. To expose the vulnerability in some of these songs, I’ve tried to do that. In my earlier recordings, there was probably a little bit of that. But then I would never have been as comfortable singing as I am right now.”
