Crystal Gayle’s Stolen Bus Recovered And Results For The Gruene With Envy Awards
- According to CountryNation.com, Crystal Gayle’s 45-foot blue Prevost tour bus was stolen last week in Pleasant View, Tennessee, but has been captured by police in Daytona Beach, Florida. Fugitive Christopher Daniel Gay took the bus to travel from Tennessee to Florida where authorities indicated his motive was to see his terminally ill mother. He was seen dropping a prostitute off in an area police were conducting an undercover prostitution sting and was arrested without incident.
“I’m relieved that nobody was hurt,” says Gayle. “I do know that the bus must have been rocking and rolling with a prostitute on board, and we’ll have to do some cleaning with Clorox,” she laughs.

We've labored long and hard to come up with our list of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2008. Click here to see who claimed the honor of the year's top album, as chosen by The 9513's staff and writers.
Don’t confuse disappointing with worst, as that list would most likely be dominated by obscure indie knockoff bands along with a couple of mainstream releases. There has to be a modicum of expectation that’s dashed upon the release of an album for it to qualify for the year’s most disappointing.
Join host Kelly Dearmore as he shines the light on several noteworthy album releases you might have missed and interviews various artists, from Sarah Borges to Trent Willmon and Reckless Kelly to Wade Bowen, in the first two episode of The 9513 podcast.
