In 2012, Janson and LoCash helped write "Truck Yeah" for McGraw. Last year, he told the USA TODAY Network in a Nashville Tennessean feature about his work in country music.
"For most Americans, those values of family, God, and our local communities are not just what country music is all about — they're alluring to all of us," he told the Tennessean.
