It’s been a long time since Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line played with GI Joe dolls, but the Christmas he received his GI Joe command post when he was a child, is still one of his most memorable Christmases. Brian says, “It was basically like a big ‘ol castle, fortress. I woke up on Christmas morning, it was all set up, had all the GI Joes, all the players and it was incredible. I had a wonderful day playin’ with all my friends, and nothin’ like a good GI Joe as a child. It made for a very memorable experience.”
Florida Georgia Line will spend part of their holiday season working on their next album, which will be the follow-up to their current album, Anything Goes, featuring their hits, “Dirt,” “Sippin’ on Fire,” “Sun Daze,” “Anything Goes” and their current single, “Confession.”
