(Gibson) Despite Staind's latest, self-titled album topping the charts and 2012 touring plans in the works, frontman Aaron Lewis hasn't lost sight of the music that's in his blood: country."There's more country coming," Lewis told the Dallas Observer. "It's the first music that I was ever exposed to. It was when I was a kid and my grandfather was a huge country music fan and I heard it a lot… Country music is a part of me. It certainly reflects my lifestyle. I live out in the middle of nowhere in a town of 1,200 people. I've got chickens and a house pig. I deer hunt and I fish. I really don't do many things that require a city."
As for the new country tracks, Lewis is shooting to re-release his Town Line EP in 2012, this time as a LP with six additional songs. "I was actually just in the studio so that, at the beginning of the year, Town Line can be re-released as a full-length," he said. "I just recorded six more songs. Now that my management is solid, we are going to re-release it.
"When I first released Town Line, I had let one management company go, hired a manager that didn't work out. It was only three months ago, tops, that I finally acquired a proper manager. Now, things can start rolling the way they need to. Town Line as a full-length is going to have all sorts of extra, bonus stuff." more on this story
