For the last couple of weeks I have a had a new feature on The WBKR Waking Crew called Make It or Break It Monday!  Basically, I play a new song and you guys let me know whether the song will Make It or if we should Break It.  This week, I am putting Tyler Farr's "Redneck Crazy" up here at WBKR.com so you can listen and let me know.  I can't give you too many details (because I'll be waterboarded or have really unfortunate body parts hooked up to jumper cables), but a good friend of mine asked me to do this for a reason.  So, I need your help, Gang. Take a listen to this song and let me know . . . do we Make It or Break It?

Each Saturday morning, you (hopefully) tune in to hear Chad and Dave count down your top ten songs of the week in our BKR's Dozen Countdown. Each week I join the boys for a few minutes to give my "Hottie of the Week". And, no...it's not always about what they look like, haha! This is a song that I pick that I think will end up in the top ten in our countdown. But, sometimes, I do get lucky and have a "Double-Hottie"! (Awesome song and a cutie-pie or two!)

This week is one of those weeks, ha!

What do you get when you cross one country-singing Australian beauty and a pop/rock music legend?  Well, on paper, you should get a smash duet.  And Dave Spencer and I, back in 2005, were both convinced that "Where We Both Say Goodbye" was going to be just that.  Catherine Britt was having chart success back home in the Land Down Under and, with her move to Nashville, she was primed for a run at the U.S. charts.  Armed with the legendary pipes of Elton John and what seemed to be the right song, Britt seemed poised to break onto the scene in a big way.  Only it didn't happen . . . at all.

Owensboro's Jenny Beth Willis is just one song away from American Idol's Top 40!  Last night, Jenny Beth survived two rounds in Hollywood.  She survived the initial cut with her rendition of "How Do I Live," then escaped the group round with a group of gals named Raisin' Kane!  Watch Jenny Beth and her partners tear through "Sin Wagon" by the Dixie Chicks!

I didn't see the Grammys, but I can only assume the Best Country Song award was given out pre-telecast judging by the handful of people in attendance at the time.

On the Ellen show, Ellen sends Amy out to sing song lyrics to unsuspecting average Joes and Jos. Recently, she tormented some really nice folks in a store. As Taylor's hot song blares in the background, Amy cuts loose.  W

Typically when I choose a song for my Shoulda Been a Hit column, I pick a song that actually had a chance at becoming one.  But, for the first time in the history of this feature, I am choosing a song that was never officially released as a single.  Martina McBride churned 4 big hits off her 1999 release Emotion.  The lead-off single "I Love You" reached #1 on the Billboard Country Chart.  It was a HUGE hit.  So was the follow-up, "Love's the Only House," which peaked at #3.  "There You Are" reached the 10 spot and "It's My Time" peaked at #11.  But, if you ask me, Emotion contained a little hidden gem that had all the makings of a McBride chartbuster.   LISTEN!
