Jake Owen on Juggling Fatherhood and Country Music Stardom
Jake Owen hasn’t had a new studio album out in four years. But he’s OK with that.
“I’ve been making tons of music and being a dad,” the chart-topping country artist says during a quick trip through New York to perform on “Good Morning America.”
Owen, whose seventh album, “Loose Cannon,” will drop on June 23, has two daughters: Olive Pearl, 10, with ex-wife Lacey Buchanan, and Paris Hartley, 4, with fiancée Erica Hartlein, and he’s embraced the time he’s carved out to spend with them.
“To me, family and love are more important than chasing a never-ending dream,” he says. “My dreams are already fulfilled with my children, so I don’t tend to put much emphasis on what the next step in the ladder will be. I don’t need to chase anything anymore. But don’t get me wrong – I still love music.”
No surprise there with a career that includes 10 number-one singles and more than 2.5 billion U.S.

Jake Owen wanted to tell a 'Homemade' story. He found one in his grandparents' 80-year romance.
Eighty years ago, Bryan Yancey Owen stood on the side of a road in Munfordville, Kentucky, and waited to catch a ride.
Owen and a friend needed to trek a few hundred miles from his hometown, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to the University of Kentucky in Lexington, where he took freshman classes.
Hitchhiking in 1940 wasn’t uncommon, Owen said. And on this trip, he stuck his thumb out and found more than a pair of wheels to whip him across county lines.
“While we were waiting for another ride, two beautiful brunettes came walking down the sidewalks and entered the home in front of which I was standing,” Owen, age 97, told The Tennessean. “On impulse, I took a photo of the house.”
He developed the photo and taped it to a penny postcard, scribbling on the front which city and road a mailman would find the pictured house.
