Country Singers To Be Honored On Walk Of Fame, Reba Misses Her Sitcom, And Class Begins Tomorrow For GJU
- Country singers Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Wynonna Judd, and three other inductees will be honored on the The Music City Walk of Fame on April 22nd in downtown Nashville.
- Finalists for the MerleFest 2007 songwriting contest have been announced. The titles of the songs from the country category include: “Operation: Get Back Home” (I wonder what that one is about?), “The Roadkill Bill,” and “Crawl into the Bottle” (sounds like a perfect country song).
- Reba McEntire says it’s very upsetting knowing that she won’t be going to back to work on her sitcom, Reba. I caught the show every now and then and always thought it was pretty funny, especially Van and his crazy antics.
- The Austin Chronicle rips on Charlie Louvin’s latest effort, claiming that he can no longer sing.
Dragging out a legend and propping him up with big names as they run through his greatest hits one more time has been done to death but never as poorly as it has here.
- Jack Ingram talks about his career and actually being a priority at the record label.
- Terry Mathews sings praises for the Last of the Breed album. Among the praises Ray Price was asked the difference between country music then and now:
“First of all, the stuff they play today that they claim is country music is definitely not country music. It’s 1960s rock and roll and they didn’t have any way to sell it except to claim it was country. That’s exactly what happened in our industry.”
- The doors open for George Jones University starting tomorrow. Now the school needs a sports team, they’d be set in the mascot department with a possum.

I guess that I misunderstood the purpose of the Music City Walk of Fame. This is only the second class of inductees, and you’re telling me that the second-most important group of people to Nashville’s musical heritage includes The Crickets, John Hiatt and Michael W. Smith? Fine artists, but not exactly the first people that come to mind when I think Nashville.
