March 24, 2013 I'm not alone when I say that Kip Moore's latest single, "Hey Pretty Girl" is one of my favorite songs on the radio right now. It's sweet and just about everytime I hear it, I cry.
I'm not exactly sure when the video was released, but I just watched it for the first time about five minutes ago. And, on cue, I cried within about the first 15 seconds, ha!
Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
March 24, 2013 The Color Blast 5K in downtown Owensboro was a tremendous hit and success. Over 4,200 runners/walkers attended the event and stuck around for the big after-party at English Park! There, each participant was handed a bag full of color and that color went flying when we decided to film a Color Blast 5K Harlem Shake video! WATCH!!
March 22, 2013 It made nearly $150,000,000 at the box office. It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won three: Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound Mixing and Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway). And, now, Les Miserables is being released to DVD! And to pay tribute to the musical and movie, Jaclyn, Barb Birgy and I took the stage at Theatre Workshop's Opryhouse to bring some of our favorite songs from Les Miz to life. WATCH!
March 21, 2013 I'm tired of being appalled. It wears me out. But, when you're appalled, you're appalled. And I'm appalled.
March 21, 2013 Jason Aldean debuted the video for his latest single, "1994" on Entertainment Tonight Wednesday night. It features cameos by some of country's biggest stars like Little Big Town, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Lade Antebellum, cast members from Nashville and Jake Owen. I was quite impressed with BK from Florida Georgia Line and his sprinkler dance moves!
It you want to reminisce on a time with the butterfly, huge cell phones and a master mullet, you must check out this video! It's pretty fun!
March 20, 2013 Dolly Parton never minced words about it. She said that she will always love Whitney Houston's version of her hit "I Will Always Love You" because it sold millions of copies and made Dolly LOTS of money. I honestly never thought anyone would come close to Whitney's version of that song. I mean, holy cow! She sang the bloody hell out of it and it spent 14 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Singles Chart. So, imagine my surprise when my friend Anissa Jo Skaggs came across THIS video on the web. Some random girl walked up to a random karaoke machine inside a discount grocery store and laid the song out. WATCH!
March 20, 2013 As you all know, I do a lot of work with the American Cancer Society. I am the chairperson of Relay For Life here in Daviess County and I also emcee their annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk each fall. I also work, annually, with Susan G. Komen for the Cure's Bowl for a Cure event here in Owensboro. But, somehow, as involved as I am, I totally missed this! Have you seen this video? It's from Rethink Breast Cancer and it was first circulated online about a year ago. And it's absolute genius. Creators of the video wanted to get women to pay attention to really important information about self-examination. And they did it by giving women what they want . . . MEN! Look.
March 19, 2013 I have loved Brett Eldredge ever since I played the same Legendary Live show with him in May of 2011. He is such a nice person and pretty hilarious! He is also one of my favorites to follow on Twitter. His humor is unmatched and more times than not, when I read his tweets, I seriously LOL! His debut single, "Raymond" definitely made a name for him with his great vocals and true country sound. His latest single, "Don't Ya" is SO much fun and I've loved it since the first time we played it!
I've been waiting for the video to be released and it finally was! It's pretty fun and feisty and makes me love him even more! Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
March 19, 2013 It's been ten years since the Dixie Chicks' scandal rocked the country music world. It was March 10th of 2003 that Natalie Maines told a London audience that was she "ashamed that the President of the United States (George W. Bush) is from Texas." And since that time, it's been a mixed bag. There have been major successes and major disappointments for the trio. Among the successes, fivetrophies at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. Their comeback effort, Taking The Long Way, was named Best Album and Best Country Album. Their defiant anthem "Not Ready to Make Nice" was named Record of the Year and Song of the Year. And the group won the award for Best Country Vocal Duo or Group. Among the disappointments, the Accidents and Accusations Tour, which launched the same year. Ticket sales were strong in some parts of the country . . . a total bust in others. Some dates were moved from arenas to smaller venues. Some dates were canceled outright. While the industry had welcomed them back with open arms, many of their fans had not. For the Chicks, things just haven't been the same. And now, Natalie Maines, the group's lead singer, is branching out on her own.
March 18, 2013 Awesome news! Ya'll love the song and now you're gonna get the chance to hear her sing it live. Kristen Kelly, who is tearing up the chart with "He Loves to Make Me Cry," has just joined the cast of the 2013 Big O Music Fest and will appear with Jake Owen, Justin Moore, Love & Theft, Colt Ford, Lo Cash Cowboys and Jaclyn Graves in Owensboro. To get you excited about seeing Kristen live, I snagged this video from my friends at The Grand Ole Opry. Kristen has a killer voice and this, most definitely, is a killer song.
March 18, 2013 It's Make It or Break It Monday and we want to know your thoughts on the brand new song by the Pistol Annies.

March 17, 2013 When Luke Bryan recently released is album Spring Break...Here to Party--a compilation of twelve previous tracks and two new ones--I had not heard whether there was going to be a single released from the package or not.
