The Hurting Kind is the third solo release from 4-time GRAMMY winner John Paul White. Leading up to the sessions for The Hurting Kind, White was inspired by artists like Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Chet Atkins and Bill Porter. Drawing on these timeless influences, White sought out classic writers like Whisperin' Bill Anderson and Bobby Braddock to collaborate with. Coming out of each and every one of these situations, I got a resounding thumbs-up that I was on that right track, says White of the collaborations. I didn't need anybody else's approval after that.
