Saturday night is a very special night at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.  As you likely know by now, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Opry is again celebrating with an amazing, star-studded line-up.  This morning, on The WBKR Waking Crew, Moon and I chatted with my good friend April Hyde, who gave us all the scoop about how the Opry will "flip the switch" pink this wee

Where do I begin? In 1970 Lynn Anderson had a hit with "Rose Garden." In 2005, Martina McBride re-recorded the song for her "Timeless" CD. In 1988, Conway Twitty released "Goodbye Time" and in 2005 Blake Shelton also did a great job with the Conway classic. In 1980 Dottie West released "Lesson in Leavin." In 1998, Jodee Messina also covered the song on her &

Remember how much fun the free Martina concert at the grand opening of Independence Bank on Frederica street was? I mean, aside from that the fear that the street might cave in from the huge turnout. Get ready for take two in Henderson, and it might be a good idea to wear you're riot gear. About 20,000 spectators are expected to show and you can join the crowd!

Today is the day that along with Opening Day for Baseball should be declared a National H0liday as we all pause and reflect on all that is glorious about the one and only Martina Bride. Born on this date as Martina Mariea Schiff in Sharon, KS. in 1966. This year she celebrates her 20th anniversary as a recording artist.

We have been reporting for several days that Martina McBride's home was invaded by a lizard. Ava, Martina's youngest, captured the beast Wednesday. Martina had caught it once and when she went to get husband John to take it back outside, the slimy creature ran for it...

On this date we have no Country birthdays to celebrate but it was not an uneventful day in the lives of Josh Turner, Kenny Chesney, Kenny Rogers and Connie Smith.

It was this time last year when Jerrod Niemann's debut album, "Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury" was released.  "Lover, Lover" was the first big hit.  And, the latest, "One More Drinkin' Song" is climbing up the charts now.

WBKR BKR Bunch member and consistent winner Jerrod Ratliff was in Nashville for CMA Music Fest having breakfast at Pancake Pantry, a popular Nashville restaurant. He saw a line forming across the street near the Belcourt Theater.

Well if you listen to WBKR at all you know that I, Moon Mullins, am a BIG fan of Martina McBride. This morning, much to my great glee, I found a video of Martina and Lauren Alaina from American Idol performing Martina's hit "Anyway". The quality is not the best but it is worth a view at tasteofcountry...

Don't miss all the stars of country music and other genres of music on the 2011 CMT Awards show tonight at 8/7 Central on CMT.  Should be a great show with Shania Twain & Taylor Swift opening the show with a parody of  the "Thelma & Louise' movie,  plus performaces from Keith Urban, Jason Aldean & rapper Ludacris, Martina McBride and a whole lot more! ...

Long before they'll make the Big O Music Fest stage at Reid's Orchard part of their summer, Dierks Bentley, Jake Owen, and David Nail will be performing at  "Bama Rising: a Benefit Concert for Alabama Tornado Recovery."  He'll be joined by a host of other artists, including Alabama who will be headlining the event.

I could not believe it, but, yes, it's been 13 years since the Sandra Bullock film "Hope Floats" was released accompanied by a star-studded soundtrack, which was released 13 years ago today. The album featured tracks by Martina McBride, Bob Seger, and Trisha Yearwood, to name a few...
