Earlier this year, Reid Perry of The Band Perry was voted the best dressed artist in country music, and he jokes he doesn’t have to worry about getting all dressed up when he’s off stage just running errands or whatever because he says, “Hey, it’s just who I naturally am.”
Kimberly and Neil beg to differ and laugh at the notion. In fact, Neil jokes, “They asked if I would like to be up for that award. I was like, ‘You know what? Give it to my brother. He needs this.’ We all know who the real winner is, but, you know.”
Perhaps Neil will give Reid a run for his money next year for best dressed. But for now they’re all working together to make their latest single, “Live Forever,” a hit at country radio.
