March 5, 2013 I make no bones about the fact that I think country music needs more female artists. Well, looks like all of my griping, begging and pleading has paid off! Kristen Kelly is fairly new to the country radio scene and I'm pretty sure she's my new girl-music crush! Her debut single, "Ex-Old Man" was really fun, but her latest single is A-Mazing! "He Loves To Make Me Cry" is such a beautiful song and I can promise you that if you come to a Jaclyn Graves show in the future, you'll hear me doing my best at this one!
March 5, 2013 She is among the greatest vocalists who ever lived. Her popularity hasn't waned. And it's been 50 years since her death in a plane crash in Dyersburg, Tennessee.
