4 weeks ago Who needs an official press release to make a major life-changing announcement? Not Dierks Bentley! Wednesday night, he announced, via Twitter that he and his wife will be adding to the Bentley family!
4 weeks ago At the Aspire to Stardom Talent Competition over the weekend in Clarksville, Tennessee, Owensboro singing sensation Skylar Cain "Let 'Er Rip." Literally! Her performance of the classic Dixie Chicks song earned her first place among hundreds of contestants. We have video of her performance and a list of what she won. You won't believe how well she sang and how much cash this kid pocketed for besting the field! Take a look!
4 weeks ago Are you ready for the best tradition in country music? The CMA Music Festival will take over downtown Nashville June 6th-9th. And once again, the line-up can best be described as "star-studded!"
4 weeks ago Owensboro's Kennedy McCollam, who was so impressive when she sang for us during the 2013 St. Jude Radiothon, has moved into the semifinals of the Kentucky Opry Talent Search. And she earned her spot there with this rousing rendition of Martina McBride's "Concrete Angel." This is beautiful!
We didn't think that Trace Adkins' bones were breakable.
April 15, 2013 Via Twitter Monday morning, Faith Hill announced her split from her Sunday Night Football. For the last six years, Faith has opened the weekly football series on CBS. I personally LOVED this open and will miss her and those gorgeous legs, ha!
If you never caught an open, here's a video of a game during the 2012 season.
April 11, 2013 A man walks into a coffee shop wearing a Lynyrd Skynyrd t-shirt that features a Confederate flag. The barista wears gold chains and his pants aren't pulled all the way up.
April 9, 2013 I knew Chad would be happy to hear this when I sprung it on him this morning. Kelly Clarkson is recording a Christmas album! Country singer Ronnie Dunn let the cat of the bag when he told his fans on his Facebook page he is singing
April 9, 2013 I think Nashville Kat is onto something BIG! This morning, on The WBKR Waking Crew, she told us to take a listen to Kenny Chesney's "Pirate Flag" back-to-back with Tom Petty's 1993 hit "Mary Jane's Last Dance." Well, we did and we agree with Kat. We're not sure we've ever head two songs that sound more alike than these two. Take a listen and see what you think!
April 5, 2013 Miranda Lambert announced this morning that she'd be adding something new to her ever-impressive resume... shoe designer! Looks like she has joined forces with Rich Footwear Group to launch a new line of women's footwear in the U.S. and Canada.
Miranda will have her hand in designing casual and dress shoes, sandals and boots! I personally can't wait to see what she comes up with on boots! I'm seeing crossed pistols and flames, you?!?
April 3, 2013 Seven contestants remain on American Idol and odds are looking more and more like this is most definitely a girl's year to win. Of the seven contestants remaining, five of them are female and just two are male. And, let's be honest, Idol has had far more success with its female winners than it has its male champs anyway.

And it was never more apparent than when Kree Harrison, one of this year's frontrunners, took on Aretha Franklin's "Don't Play That Song." It was the same song Kelly Clarkson sang in the same theme week way back in Season One. And, if you ask me, there is just no comparison. WATCH!
April 2, 2013 In the music industry getting a second chance can be a rarity, especially if you've already had a record deal and tried to make a run at the country charts. But last night on The Voice, country music songstress Julie Roberts, who enjoyed moderate success with her single "Break Down Here," took the stage for a second chance. Here's what happened . . .
