“To me, family and love are more important than chasing a never-ending dream,”jakeowen said ahead of the release his seventh studio album, 'Loose Cannon.'
No surprise there with a career that includes 10 number-one singles and more than 2.5 billion U.S. on-demand streams. The 41-year-old Winter Haven, Florida, native signed his first record deal in 2006 and over the next 17 years has become a mainstay on country radio with such smash hits as “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Alone with You,” “Homemade,” and countless more.
Another of his favorites on the album is “The Ending,” written by Rodney Clawson, Luke Laird and Chris Tompkins. “It’s a very well-written song about a relationship they had all figured out except for the ending. I love the way people look back at their lives and always wonder what would have been if things would have worked out one way or another. That’s what life is all about — you can’t script it.
The other thing that doesn’t feel like work is his golf game. As a teenager, Owen wanted to pursue playing golf professionally. But after a wakeboarding accident during his college years mangled his shoulder, the injury was so severe that his dreams of being a PGA professional were dashed. So he learned to play the guitar and decided to pivot into music instead.
“I’m a fan of guys like Tiger and Rory that make a commitment to the game of golf, and want to grow it in ways that honor the game, but give it some growth. I think the same goes for our genre of country music. I just look forward to hopefully being an ambassador in country music.” He points to one under-the-radar artist, Zach Top, a 25-year-old traditionalist, who is one of his current favorites.
