Traumatic events can play wicked tricks on people. Lightning caused Reg’s hair to turn white in The Great Outdoors, Dewey lost his sense of smell in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and sadly Reba Mcentire has lost her taste for chocolate. But this condition is of her own doing. If you are familiar with [...]

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 [...]
Reba McEntire’s chart topping success of the 1990’s is remarkable. She is among the best, destined for the Country Music Hall of Fame. She has always chosen songs that have strayed away from the typical subject matter of a country song. She was the first country artist to address the AIDS issue with the #14 [...]
Fan Fair is coming up and it’s almost here. All of these events (concerts and autograph signings) happen right here in downtown Nashville. Anyone who is anyone will be here during that week to sing, dance, and have a lot of fun hanging out with fans. One of the biggest stars that [...]

I was cruising the internet today and found out that one of my favorite singers of all time has made her way onto shelves of many stores nationwide. Yes, she’s had her CD’s, and her DVD’s from her family television show…but I’m talking about a clothing and luggage line. A shoe line and [...]
The human voice is the most unpredictable instrument. Weather can play a huge difference in clarity, tone, and range. I have never heard vocalists like Carrie Underwood or Martina McBride have a bad day, but it must happen. I am just wondering when Taylor Swift will have a good one. She sounds great in the studio.

Two female country artists are smelling cheese somewhere else and have changed record labels. Reba Mcentire is making the move from MCA to Valory Music Company. Reba has always been the Queen Midas of country music, so she should have no trouble switching labels. She will also be reunited with the CEO of Valory, Scott Borchetta. Reba racked up 14 #1 hits [...]
On November 9, 2008 rehearsals began at the Sommet Center right here in Music City. All of the performing artists were there to run through sound and audio/video checks. All of the performing artists are trying to get all of the bugs worked out of their performances before the big star-studded night. Of course the [...]
Congratulations to Jennifer Nettles! She has dethroned Jeannie Kendall(or according to one of my colleagues, Reba Mcentire) as the reigning female artist with the shrillest and most annoying voice in country music. Her singing style and enunciation is just too much. Does anyone else think that she is a poser? I was watching an interview with Sugarland on GAC, [...]
