Chesney Helps End Willie’s Five Year Drought On Hot Country Songs Chart

That Crowell quote sounds very much like something I might steal for a certain recurring Sunday feature.

Thanks for bringing the free Waylon download to my attention. I’m still undecided about picking up a copy of that album.

i picked up the ‘waylon forever’ cd a couple of days ago. well worth the $. it basically sounds like waylon jennings fronting a hard rock band. and it works.

the version of ‘outlaw shit’ is chilling. ‘i found the body’ is ominous and the version of ‘ain’t living long like this’ beats the original. yes, i said it beats the original. i just wish there were more than 8 tracks. now–if we can just get shooter to release the original industrial version of this. i, for one, am eager to hear such an animal. :)

Josh, enlighten me please. What did Craig complain about?

It was someone in his band complaining that Carrie Underwood was inducted before him, which is stupid. He’s made little impact, besides “What I Love About Sunday”, while Carrie is a superstar. I find Craig deathly boring, the super-country person gets old very quickly.

Opry “Bummer, Dude” Alert:

Kristy Lee Cook makes her Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday night BUT she will not be included during the GAC “Opry Live” cable broadcast segment! Instead we get Craig Morgan’s Opry induction with Jon Conlee and the other artists are Chuck Wicks and Rodney Atkins. I’d much rather watch Kristy perform than any of those guys….

Craig Morgan is garbage. :(

Brody, I guess with some artists they have to emphasize how country they really are, and it gets old for me very very fast. I don’t care whether someone’s country or not, as long as it’s good music. If someone’s country, great, but they don’t have to explicitly tell me on every single.

I really wonder why Kristy Lee Cook is having a fair amount of success while somebody much more personable, attractive, and talented in Whitney Duncan can’t seem to break through.

Matt, You’re right on the money! (lol)

Stormy, if you were a gay female you would understand why us guys find Kristy Lee Cook so attractive physically. With a face and body like that who cares how she sings? (jk)

Drew, Kristy was seen by millions of people on American Idol and Whitney Duncan was seen by tens of thousands on Nashville Star, so its not too hard to figure why Kristy is getting the jump at radio. Whitney has co-written some nice songs so she should have chosen a stronger debut single. I’ve come to the conclusion that being a competitor on Nashville Star is seen as a big negative by airhead country radio programmers, so Whitney is starting off under the black Nashville Star cloud……

Well here i go let me start that kristy lee is certainly hot but if you remember back to American Idol when she sang she always wore the boob shirts to play on her looks instead of relying on her vocal abilities. that made me not really care for her because she was suppose to be there on her abilities more than her looks, america voted i believe more on her looks than her vocals and what was up with the little pig nose schrunches when she say they were really annoying

we are not built to make sense, stormy.

Kristy turned me off completely on Idol when she did that godawful Beatle arrangement and then again she did that Lee Greenwood song – talk about pandering. No amount of looks can help a mediocre singer
