No, it’s not an acoustic set from Alan Thicke or Kirk Cameron. If you thought the Country Music Hall of Fame was big enough, think again. There are plans in the works to double the Hall’s size. The already 140,000 square foot building is looking to expand on 5th avenue. This is conjunction with the [...]

Well CMT.com is looking for a new crop of failures, I mean aspiring artists. Season 4 of the strictly on-line talent show will start in 77 days. Could this show be anymore pointless. Have we heard any of the past finalists or winners so much as make a ripple in country music. If you look [...]

The reason for me writing about this is there is really nothing interesting right now in the country music realm. If you want to find out what Jason Aldean is doing for Halloween, be my guest, but I chose the high road(not really). Is ‘Joe the Plumber’ going to put the pipe down? The latest buzz is [...]
You wouldn’t think that New York City would be the focus for a major fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame, but that’s exactly what Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, and Rodney Crowell are going to do. This trinity of country music will host a songwriter’s round, where they will be sharing stories and their signature songs. Gill and Emmylou are esteemed [...]
Downtown Nashville could offer so much more. However, what you are going to get is nothing more than glorified karaoke. It’s frustrating to see metro-sexual country cover bands doing the worst version of ”You Never Even Called Me By My Name” in front of drunken idiots who, even when their sober, probably couldn’t tell you who originally sang the song.

It looks like the tension is surmounting at an alarming rate between Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood. 107.5 in Nashville recently had Simpson on their morning show.

Everybody here at work is telling me to lay into John Rich for his cliche campaign song “Raisin’ Mccain,” but I am not going to ridicule John for that. You have seen me say it before, and I will say it again, leave your politics at the door. Whether your name is Alec Baldwin or Susan Sarandon, I could care less [...]
Hank Williams fans can look forward to this fall’s release of a new Time Life set including 143 previously unreleased recordings. The songs, which were captured for a WSM radio series at the height of Hank’s career in 1951, were caught up in an eight-year legal battle. They are now property of Jett Williams and Hank Williams, Jr, who have agreed to a deal with [...]

It is with great sorrow that we report the death of Eddy Arnold at age 89. Arnold, whose hits included “Make the World Go Away” and “The Last Word in Lonesome is Me,” was one of the most successful country singers in history. Joel Whitburn’s book, “Top Country Singles 1944-1993,” ranks Arnold the No. 1 [...]

Last night I lucked into a ticket to see the Nashville Predators host the Detroit Red Wings in a Stanley Cup playoff game. The intensity of the game, in which Nashville tied Detroit 2-2 on the series (go Predators!), lay in more than the simple fact of its being a playoff match-up; it has been [...]
