January 25, 2013 This is VERY exciting. Paul Jolley, who two years ago was a finalist in WBKR's Battle for The Big O talent competition, is going to Hollywood! Paul was featured on last night's episode on American Idol and was shown auditioning before the judges in Baton Rouge. Take a look at Paul's performance and see what the judges had to say about his powerful voice and story!
January 24, 2013 Ever since I first heard Carrie Underwood's latest single, I knew the video would be amazing!! I have been so excited to see Two Black Cadillacs come to life on the small screen and it's just as good as I thought it would be! I was hoping that Carrie would act as the "girlfriend"... was I right?!?
Watch and see!
January 24, 2013 Proof that you CANNOT judge a book by its cover. When Ashley Smith auditioned for the American Idol judges in Charlotte, it appeared she was going to be one of those fruitcake contestants with absolutely no talent. Boy, was everyone wrong! WATCH!
January 23, 2013 The first time I heard Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart," I could only imagine what the video might look like. It's a terrific story and it's really funny.
January 23, 2013 This is really funny. In fact, over 20 million people on YouTube agree. IMy buddy Justin Weatherholt posted this on Facebook yesterday and I had to steal it and post it for you guys. And, naturally, it's just in time for the Super Bowl! Check this out! It's really "Bad NFL Lip-Reading!"
January 22, 2013 We had a big family gathering in Gulf Shores back in 2002. A week on the beach. Nothin' like it. Anyway, despite how great the trip was, I have one regret.
January 22, 2013 Each year, when we head down to Memphis for our annual St. Jude Country Cares conference, we meet up with young, up-and-coming country stars. And this year was no exception. As our annual casino night was wrapping up, Jaclyn and I met Show Dog Universal recording artist, Joel Crouse. Joel has some Kentucky ties . . . in fact, his brother and sister both attended college in Louisville. But it's little brother who's ready to make his radio debut with a song called "If You Want Some." Check it out!
January 21, 2013 Chills. Tears. And now I have to put this into words? What?? Okay, let's make this easy. WATCH THIS!!! There were some awesome performances today at President Barack Obama's inauguration, but Kelly Clarkson's performance of "My Country, Tis of Thee" was a monstrous homerun. Check it out!
January 19, 2013 They say timing is everything. And, in this particular case, timing was everything. In 2006, Sara Evans released "Coalmine," the 3rd single from her Real Fine Place CD. That effort had already spawned two Top 10 hits, the #1 hit "A Real Fine Place to Start" and "Cheatin," which peaked at #9. "Coalmine" was supposed to be Sara's third big hit in a row. Only it didn't happen. See, at that time, the nation just wasn't ready for an upbeat, feel-good song about coal mines.
January 18, 2013 It's a just a couple of weeks away and, trust us, you do NOT want to miss it. Denim and Diamonds, our annual concert fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, is 7pm, Friday, February 1st at the Theatre Workshop Opryhouse. And this year's line-up in sensational. Check it out and get your tickets NOW!
January 17, 2013 No good deed goes unpunished. And that's what a West Point cadet learned when he released a mouse into the wild only to watch nature take its course.
January 16, 2013 I have a bucket list. And on that bucket list you will find the following statement. "I want to drive U.S. Highway 1 from the mainland down to Key West."
