Big strong handsome Jake Owen. Some say "sizzlin' sexy." You think of him out on the lake water skiing or on stage rockin' the crowd so we had to pause when we found this photo of Jake....smelling a flower. Hmmmm. We love our big strong men when they show their sensitive side....just makes them even more attractive!

Jake Owen's latest album 'Easy Does It' hit stores earlier this year and already has spawned the hit singles 'Don't Think I Can't Love You' and the current 'Eight Second Ride.'

'Nothin' Grows in Shadows' is the haunting story of kids who are tormented by bullying and the effect that has on their adult lives.

"I heard it in a meeting one day," Jake tells The Boot. "We were playing some songs, and the minute I heard that, it really hit home for me on a lot of levels.
