White explains, "“The song 'Dustbowl Dreams' was inspired by my pride as an Oklahoman, my fascination with my lineage and history, and through my own struggles, identifying with the grit, soul, and spirit of Oklahomans, especially during the Great American Dustbowl. I love to think of myself as a product of their perseverance. Dustbowl Dreams is, in essence, the American dream.”

An award-winning, platinum-selling vocalist, White has scored six number one hits, exploding into the country music scene charting seventeen singles on Billboard’s Country Charts.
