One of the advantages of arriving in Nashville early during CMA Music Festival week is the opportunity to chat with some of country music's newest and brightest stars. SteelTownRock had the chance to catch up with Uncle Kracker early in the week, who is enjoying renowned success for the country version of his single, "Smile." He talks about his collaborations with Kid Rock and Kenny Chesney, as well as how country music has always had a profound impact on his life. U.K. also discusses how country music differs from other genres, the impact CMA Fest has on both fans and artists, and much more!
