Travis Tritt once again has his aim set on the country music charts and, this time, he is bringing his daughter along for the ride. The country music superstar is set to release a brand new single called "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough." And he performs it with Tyler Reese Tritt. We have a sneak preview here at WBKR.com! LISTEN . . .
How's THIS for a blast from the past?
ROCK 'N ROLL INTRIGUE
After the story ran of my meeting Linda Ronstadt in Louisville I received an intriguing email from WBKR listener Glenn Hodges. He took notice of the date of my Ronstadt encounter and recalled attending a concert which turned out to be that same year. Glenn wrote, “
One week from tonight. Six awesome musical acts. One stage. Here at WBKR, we are VERY excited about The Six Pack! It's a brand new concert we're having at Diamond Lake's Good Time Theatre on Friday, May 31st. The show will feature some of the best local and regional talent around and will hosted by our very own, Jaclyn Graves. And she'll be joined by Insulated, Katie Beste, Skylar Cain, Daniel Epperson, and Butler County's Kyle Whitaker. I first met Kyle when he joined us this year for our St. Jude Radiothon. This guy is GREAT! Check him out . . .
Shelly West is a man! That’s what Chad thought when I told him it was her birthday this morning on Country Quickies. “What? Shelly West is a girl”?
Disclaimer: I am apparently old-fashioned and this is me upset about watching, what I feel like should have aired after 10:00pm on a pay-per-view channel, the Billboard Music Awards.
I realize that music is art and I'm a full believer of this theory. But, I DO NOT think that for you to express yourself, you should leave your pants at home or basically give a dude a lap-dance on stage. Maybe it's just me?!?
Every Saturday morning, I interrupt Chad and Dave's BKR's Dozen Countdown with my Hottie of the Week! Today, I realized something... some of you may not hear who my hottie is and it's my job to make sure you know about new music! So, here's what we're gonna do... every Saturday, I'll post my Hottie here for your viewing and listening pleasure!
My hottie today is new-comer Maggie Rose. She has a super-smooth voice and I'm pretty much in love with her new single, "Better". We all go through rough times in our life and it can seem like all we need is just to feel a little bit better than the day before. This song embraces this feeling. So, check it out and let me know what you think!
Will it be Candice Glover or Kree Harrison? Last night, our two American Idol finalists competed in the first all-female finale since Idol's third season. So, who won the night and earned the crown? WBKR's Idol expert, Steve Thompson, chimes in . . .
Here at WBKR, we get asked all the time about Goldie's Survivor, our long-running talent contest at Goldie's. It was a blend of Survivor and American Idol and hundreds of folks each year battled to try and make the 10-week finals. The contest was basically reality television on stage and the show sold out virtually every week due to equal parts of talent and on-stage drama. We often get asked how our former champions are doing. Season Two champion Teresa Cook continues to make fans as Kizzy. Season Three champion Shannon Sellers lives in Nashville now. Season Five champion Rollie Pike later went on to win the Battle for The Big O and is with us each year for our St. Jude Radiothon. And, now, we're hearing from Season 6 champion Michael Woosley, who just released a new duet called "Watch Me." Check it out!
Let's go back about six years. It was 2007. A song called "Shiftwork" was released. You took one look at the artists singing it and you knew it was going to get to #1 in short order.
Tonight, Nashville resident Kree Harrison is going to face off with Candice Glover in part one the American Idol finale. Recently, here at WBKR, we stumbled across some footage of Kree from WAY back in the day. LOL! Check her out in this archived video from The Rosie O'Donnell Show. Ten-year-old Kree belted out Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing!"
Lady Antebellum's big #1 smash "Downtown" got to its peak so quickly that by the time their new album Golden was released to stores and online retailers, we were ready for the second single.
