Adventure is your soul when you're a genuine Texas-bred music man.

That's why when you pluck a singer like Willie Mack out of the lone star state and throw him in Nashville, he's still gotta ramble.

It's that restless spirit that Mack channels so perfectly on his second album, Headlights And Tailpipes. His first release for Open Road Recordings is all lonely highways, fast cars, open skies and racing back to get to the ones you love.

"It seems like I'm just happiest when I'm moving," says Mack. "Traveling, being in a hurry to get somewhere, off to see something new. That's just the way I am. I really got into writing songs like, you say goodbye to someone and you're leavin', or you're on your way to somebody."
