He credits Radney Foster’s music for reshaping his own sound and revealed he’s got a London Soho pad—where British fans know every lyric, even the obscure ones. He also shared his birthday peace trip to Italy, his “done with renovations” stance after tackling a 1700s house, and his love for KC BBQ (even if his doctor’s not thrilled). Rucker opened up about his annual St. Jude fundraiser, which now draws big names like Brooks & Dunn to perform on the fly, and gave powerful advice to young Black artists: “Don’t ever let them tell you you don’t belong.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
