Some people know innately who they are and what they stand for. Within minutes of any interaction with Craig Morgan, it’s clear God, family, and country are his foundation. The veteran hitmaker continues to celebrate those pillars on his new EP, American Soundtrack. “I try to celebrate God, family, and country in my music and in everything I do,” the Tennessee native says. “That’s what I have always done, and I’ve come to realize it’s my platform. I don’t stress about things as much as I used to. I just try to write, sing, produce, and play the best music that we can and go where I think God wants me to be.”
