Dustin Lynch has just released his latest album 'Tullahoma', and revealed in a recent interview how his girlfriend Kelli Seymour influenced his new music. The 34-year-old singer and Kelli have been together for around a year, and Kelli has made a good impression on his family, with Dustin's mum saying that she loves her.

The couple met after Dustin reached out to Kelli on Instagram asking to meet up after a show in California. Explaining, Dustin said, "I was like man, if she’s super weird and she sucks I can just tell her to have a great time and enjoy the show."

He continued, "But that would be a nice neutral, easy, disarming kind of hang. And my band and crew guys are so hospitable I knew they’d make it fun."

Speaking to Taste of Country, Dustin told how his music sounds different where Kelli lives (in Los Angeles) to where he is based (in Tennessee), so he's keen to listen to his new music in different environments before making the final decision.

Dustin recalled how he would often barge in saying, 'Hey, I need to listen to this through your speakers, let's drive here', and we kind of test it."

Continuing, "So she's heard the unfinished album and I think she's already over it." 😂

'Tullahoma' was released on 17th January and features 'Good Girl', and 'Ridin' Roads' which have both been Top 10 country songs in the US, and his latest release 'Momma's House'.
