Tyler opened up to the magazine about the writing process, which he's done with some of the city's greats. "The album is all co-writes. I've written with the Barlowes [Nathan and Cary], Brett James, Jaren Johnston, Hillary Lindsey, the Warren Brothers, David Hodges, Chris DeStefano, Rhett Akins-so many," he said.

More than the music industry's open arms, though, Tyler has been taken aback by residents' friendly demeanor. In fact, their big-hearted nature reminds him of his days growing up in New Hampshire.
