Aaron, who hails from Auburn, Indiana, was surrounded by music growing up. After a brief stint in college; his father Jeoffrey, a professional gospel singer, invited Aaron to tour with him. Together they played more than 130 concerts annually for several years and recorded three CD's. The experience sculpted Aaron to the techniques of duo singing, which may be one reason why he never quite hit the jackpot after leaving to seek his fortunes as a solo artist.

Scott, who was born in Delight, Arkansas - and raised in Los Angeles started singing at an early age with his Uncle Jack; but, his strongest musical influence came from close family friend, Glenn Campbell. After high school, Scott, who had been acting as well as playing music, picked up work in commercials and on television shows.

Aaron and Scott teamed up after meeting on a music video in Nashville five years ago. It was an instant brotherhood! The two were inseparable! After years of friendship, and a bit of gentle pressure from their wives - the guys decided to see how it felt to sing together. They discovered not only did they have a perfect friendship, but also perfect harmonies!

One fateful day, the duo made it to Curb Records. There, they sat down in front of Doug Johnson, the A&R director for the new Asylum subsidiary, and performed. When they were finished, the first words out of Doug's mouth were "Man, one of you is really gonna have to screw this up to not make it work." With that, Blue County was officially born. Scott and Aaron have finished their sophomore album and it will be released very soon. Their new single "I Get To" can be heard on a radio station near you.

What's Not To Love
Blue County Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby when we fell in love
I packed my El Camino up
And never looked back
A tank of gas, twenty bucks
Left behind a cloud of dust
And all we had
Gave up everything
I'd do it all again

Don't you know
That's just the kind of man I am

Chorus:
Hey what's not to love
About a man who'd live and die
Sweared and sacrifice for you
Hey what's not to love
About time after time
Layin' it on the line
What's not to love about
What's not to love about that

You looked at me the other night
Dissapointment in your eyes
Said I'm not sure
Well it knocked me back
To say the least
When you said you don't need me
Anymore
I don't understand
I've done all I can
To be the kind of man you always wanted

Chorus:
Hey what's not to love
About a man who'd live and die
Sweared and sacrifice for you
Hey what's not to love
About time after time
Layin' it on the line
What's not to love about
What's not to love about that

Isn't love about give and take
Isn't that what they say
But baby can you meet me halfway

Chorus:
Hey what's not to love
About a man who'd live and die
Sweared and sacrifice for you
Hey what's not to love
About time after time
Layin' it on the line

What's not to love about
What's not to love about that

Line by Line Meaning

Baby when we fell in love
When we first began our love story

I packed my El Camino up
I gathered my belongings

And never looked back
I didn't dwell on the past

A tank of gas, twenty bucks
I didn't need much to start our journey

Left behind a cloud of dust
Our departure was swift

And all we had
We relied only on each other

Gave up everything
We sacrificed our old lives for each other

I'd do it all again
I would make the same choices

Don't you know
Can't you see

That's just the kind of man I am
I am a devoted partner
