Former Fiance Of Tanya Tucker Steals Her Clothes, Mentions A Barrel
- The Tennessean has a fairly in-depth article on Martina McBride talking about the possibility that she could be in the running for Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards this year. Joe Galante, chairman of Sony BMG Nashville, says that even if she won’t admit it, she wants to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame one day.
When country songs were getting pop radio airplay about eight years ago, Galante told McBride that he wanted her to cut some pop songs on her next album.
“She got very silent and looked right at me and said, ‘What makes you think I want to be a pop star? If I aspire to be anybody, I aspire to have the career of Reba McEntire.’ And that was it,” Galante says.
- Edward Morris recommends Tom T. Hall’s “Homecoming” because it’s so damn well written.
- Still Is Still Moving posted a great excerpt from Waylon Jennings’ autobiography that discusses his relationship with Willie Nelson and mentions that one RCA executive thought that Willie and Waylon were one person.
- Natalie Maines has decided to leave the Dixie Chicks to become a prison nurse…actually, she’s not leaving the Dixie Chicks, but she will be a prison nurse, and that’s only for a role in an upcoming movie titled Stealing Cars.
- Anybody remember Kellie Coffey and her 2001 hit song “When You Lie Next to Me”? She’s back with a follow-up to her debut album entitled Walk On.
