About six weeks ago, I started working out every weekday.  And, to help me get motivated, I grabbed my IPod and loaded it up with what I consider to be "workout" songs.  Upbeat.  fun.  Pep in their step.  The first track on my playlist is the song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.  (It's the perfect song to run 6 mph to on the treadmill!)  You've probably heard it.  It recen

It's time again for another installment of Chad's "Country-Fried" YouTube Cover of the Week.  And this week's selection comes to us from aspiring country music singer/songwriter Tim Foust, who recently rounded up his band to take a crack at (of all things) Lady Gaga!   And, NO, I'm not kidding.  Yeah, I realize that, on paper, this sounds completely absurd.  But you have to listen to thi

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

Last week, I unveiled my brand new weekly column here at WBKR.com . . . Chad's Country-Fried YouTube Cover of the Week.  And, in that first edition, I introduced you to the Mabaleka Brothers, a pair of brothers from Zimbabwe who gave their own twist to Kip Moore's song "Somethin' Bout a Truck."  This week, we are going international again.  I was looking around on YouTube this week and c

A couple of weeks ago, I was goofing around on YouTube and came across video of Jenny Beth Willis of Owensboro covering "Over You" by Miranda Lambert.  I posted that video here at WBKR.com and something clicked.  YouTube is FULL of undiscovered talent and some of the folks out there put some really cool twists on country songs that we know and love.  So, here at WBKR.com, I am going to b

This video of my 2 step-sons and my 11 month old daughter is destined to be a big hit on YouTube, she got the giggles as water splashed around, I crack up everytime I watch it and hope you do too!?!

This is awesome! It's exactly why we all fell in love with Youtube in the first place. Grandparents Bruce and Esther Huffman trying to figure out their new webcam while actually recording on the webcam is one of the funniest things I have ever seen...

We've had a number of new artists visit the WBKR studios over the years. And we have a number of local artists with amazing talent who have either visited or performed in the various talent competitions that I've had the good fortune to judge. And I tell them all the same thing, "You have to be in Nashville." Now, most of the travelling musicians who stop by are ahead of me; they all hav

Country singer Ronnie Dunn – one half of superduo Brooks & Dunn – talked with Taste of Country a bit last week about musicians that influenced him. Among Dunn’s more interesting recent influences: “I love Harrison’s slide guitar on ‘Something,’” the singer told Taste of Country. Dunn has of course been impactful in his own wide-ranging way, and the wild diversity of Brooks & Dunn covers o
