Can You Guess Which Country Artist This Kid Grew Up to Be?

Nowadays, this Texas-based singer is more often seen with a guitar in his hand than a chicken, and fans sure are happy about that. Even though he's grown some scruff on that baby face and his hair has darkened up a bit, we aren't surprised to see this mystery man was poppin' his collar back then. Do you know who this kid is?

The innocent picture of this country singer certainly doesn't foreshadow some hard times that he's gone through the past couple years, including struggles with alcoholism and infidelity. One thing he hasn't struggled with: his fans, who are deeply committed.
