Chadwick Benefield — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:00:47 +0000

I am always amazed at what you can learn from Facebook and Twitter. And Saturday night I found out some cool news about Chris Young. I follow Chris on Facebook and over the weekend he posted this . . ."If you're in Nashville go see my step brother Carter play in the band Young Cardinals. Exit/In 9pm." Did you all know Chris had a step brother who was making his rounds on the Nashville music scene? I didn't either. But I did some research and came across a couple of videos from some recent performances. Check em out!

Tomorrow: Chad's "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week x2 [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:29:45 +0000

While combing the web for this week's edition of Chad's "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week, I came across two different versions of Chris Young's "Tomorrow" that caught my ears and eyes. I was trying to decide which version would make the cut, but I just couldn't make a choice. Both deserve to be seen and heard, albeit for different reasons. So, this week I present to you two very unique covers of the song. The first features a pair of brothers who love to down Coors Light while they sing. The second features an apsiring country singer and his friends, who are masters of dorm-room harmony. Check these out!
