Parker McCollum is a car guy and a big Vince Gill fan, so the “What Kinda Man” singer knew exactly what he wanted to listen to first when he got a new car recently.
McCollum was a guest on Taste of Country Nights, and we asked him to gush about his latest splurge purchase.
“I’ve always wanted a Corvette Z06, manual, since I was a kid — so I bought one of those,” McCollum reveals.
As he was driving it home right after he bought it, he put on Gill’s “Pretty Little Adrianna” and listened to it “45 times in a row.”
He didn’t stop with country.
“I like Aerosmith in the Corvette,” he says. “I like listening to The Band in the Corvette. I feel like you can’t drive that car and not have the music blaring.”
When home in Texas, if McCollum isn’t spending quality time with his wife, Hallie Ray, and his little boy, Major, you can find him whipping down backroads in his 2016 Corvette Z06, pumping out the best old school jams through its speakers.
But the “Pretty Heart” singer would rather you not be around when he exits his Corvette.
“Getting out of it doesn’t look nearly as cool as getting in it,” McCollum hilariously shares.
He just released his fifth studio album, the self-titled Parker McCollum, on June 27. He is currently touring across America on his What Kinda Man Tour.

George Strait has sold his one-of-a-kind mansion in Texas, and it was actually a real deal. The country legend asked $6.9 million for his 7,925-square-foot home that includes three bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half-baths on a hilltop in a very exclusive area of San Antonio. The final selling price was not disclosed.
The house sits on 12.2 acres and includes a gourmet kitchen, separate his and her bathrooms and closets and 14 hand-sculpted masonry fireplaces. The main house is wired for surround sound throughout, and it also features outdoor living spaces including a patio with built-in grill, sink, icemaker and refrigerator. There’s also an infinity pool/spa and a sports court, a workout room with a private bathroom and sauna, and a walk-in safe room.
