George Jones Announces Billy Sherrill’s Induction Into Musicians Hall

Sugarland will be announcing that Jennifer Nettles is leaving the duo to pursue a solo career in the rap business.

Kristian Bush plans to remain in the country music genre, but no longer wants to be associated with Sugarland since Nettles is leaving. He has decided to form a new duo that will deviate from the pop-ish music Sugarland has been known to record. In fact, Bush’s new duo partner is “so country” that fans will listen to their sound and be immediately reminded of the great “Big and Rich” duo that seemed to disband at the turn of the year.

Kristian Bush’s new duo partner? None other than Nashville Star’s Coffey, who, with a Southern background and fancy hat, is about as country as they come. John Rich suggested the combination to Bush, expressing the significance of increasing the racial diversity within the genre and the immediate success that can come with it.

The new duo will be named “Bushey” (pronounced Bush-ay) and will be touring with Kellie Pickler and Ashton Shepherd this fall.

“Wow, that is so totally awesome and really cool about Taylor Swift with Def Leppard! This should definitely be a high point in the mainstream country scene in 2008�..”

Rick…I hope you’re being facetious. (lol!)

The Sugarland stuff sounds pretty ‘country’ to me.

Maybe Sugarland will announce that Jennifer is engaged to Clayton, lol.

“John Rich suggested the combination to Bush, expressing the significance of increasing the racial diversity within the genre and the immediate success that can come with it.”

You forgot that John Rich will also, no doubt, be producing the album and debuting it on a reality show that he will produce and host chronically the “making of” Bush-ay.

Matt B.,

“It Was Me” wasn’t written by him, either. I was just referring to his singing, not his songwriting. I think you got that, but just wanted to clarify.

Stormy and Chris: Maybe Michael Scott’s band band will play at the next “Rabies 5k and Fun-Run”

“Myth: Three Americans die every year from rabies. Fact: Four Americans die every year die from rabies.”

I like the sugarland clips, my favorites would be “We Run”, “Very Last Country Song”, “Keep You”, and “It Happens”. The song “Steve Earle” sounds weird to me, her voice sounds odd.

But it looks like Love on the Inside will be a very good album, in my opinion.

I think she may have been trying to immitate Steve Earle in that song? That’s all I can think of for the reason for the oddness of her vocals in the verses of it.

“I declare bankruptcy!”

Kelly: That would be the Micheal Scott Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure Celebrity Memorial Tribute Concert Aid, Right?

Anyone else kind of secretly hoping that Kelly’s “Hey Hey You You/I don’t like your boyfriend/Cause he, cause he, Cause he sucks at Ping Pong” will be a bonus track?

Ahem:

Hey Chris N. – that’s awesome! I visit that site all the time but had never seen that :)

Jamey Johnson Alert: Jamey will be performing on the Saturday Night Opry on July 5th. Elizabeth Cook will also be performing in what is likely the first time since her mother died recently.
Check out the schedule details for yourself:

PS – I hear the title track from Michael Scott’s new album will be “That’s What She Said”!

I think it would be hilarious to hear Def Lep do some Shania Twain songs; I always thought they sounded like Def Lep songs anyway – all tied to Mutt Lange.
