He has plenty to show for his efforts, like a new $500,000 whirlpool-equipped tour bus, which replaced the converted bread truck and delivery van that used to freight the musicians from gig to gig. He can also take off-road consolation in the property he just bought in Cheatham County, 20 miles out of Nashville, where he and Hatcher share a renovated century-old log cabin...
