GARTH BROOKS

Have you visited Garth Brooks' official website and joined his circle of "Friends?"  What are you waiting for?  The thunder is rolling.  The lightning is crashing.  A Garth storm is brewing!  And, just a couple of days ago, Garth sent his "friends" a cryptic, secret message.  Take a look!

The first country concert I ever saw was Garth Brooks' tour way back in the late 90's.  And, I can honestly say, I haven't seen anything like it since.  But, there is good news brewing and rumors are swirling that Garth may be ready to hit the road again in 2014. But are the rumors true?  We aren't sure but it appears the thunder may be rolling.

I am officially old. Yep. Back in 1992, members of the WBKR staff--myself included--went to Louisville to see Garth Brooks in concert. And we got to go backstage to meet him.

Hello, my name is Chad Benefield.  And I am an addict.  I am apparently addicted to Kelly Clarkson.  For the second day in a row, I am posting video taken from the CMA Music Festival.  Yesterday, I posted video of Kelly singing her new country single "Tie It Up."  Today, I am posting footage of her duet with Trisha Yearwood.  That's right!  Trisha showed up and the two tore into a classi

The Academy of County Music Awards will air Sunday, April 7th on CBS in Vegas! With my boyfriend Luke Bryan and funny-guy Blake Shelton hosting, I didn't think I could get any more excited about the show! Well, I was wrong! People.com reported on Wednesday that two country megastars will be performing together at the show for the first time ever! These artists are the two most recent winners of th

Today, the performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl is just as big a media spectacle as the half-time show and the game itself.  Huge stars are asked to deliver rousing renditions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the whole world watches to see if they mess up the words, lip-synch or perform live.  In the last few years, we have seen amazing renditions by Kelly Clarkson, The D

Well, this makes me feel old. Of course, the honor is richly deserved. It's just that I remember playing his debut single "Much Too Young" for the first time in 1989, and now Garth Brooks is an official member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

This week's Shoulda Been a Hit column is going to look a little different.  Normally, I include the official video for the song that I choose, but, given Garth's disdain for YouTube and ITunes, that's just not going to happen.  And, now, I know what you're thinking . . . "Garth Brooks had a song that wasn't a hit?"  He sure did.  It was "When You Come Back to Me Again," which p

I have discovered an enormous amount of photos featuring myself and a number of country music stars. So, I've decided to share them with you. And because of the amount of pictures and stories that go with them, I'll break it up into a couple 0f installments.

Regina Regina Regina Howard, The WBKR Waking Crew's resident "nut," called in Monday morning to request a song.  She wanted to hear Scotty McCreery's version of 'The Dance" by Garth Brooks.  Regina said she heard him do a version of it at The Grand Ole Opry and it was "wonderful."  I hadn't heard it.  So, I did some research and found it!  This video was only uploaded to Y

Despite the rumors, Garth Brooks is not dead — so fans frantic to get a refund for tickets to his Las Vegas show can breathe a sigh of relief! Though word spread the country superstar passed in a tragic jet ski accident in the Turks and Caicos Islands today (July 16), the reports are completely fabricated.
