I completely disagree about the prediction on Rodney Atkins. I really like the song, but I don’t see it going any higher then top 20. I think it will be a real slow climb, and then drop.

Does Phil Vassar have a routine that will keep him from sucking?

but isn’t there a kind of novelty at this point to attending a George Jones show that he no-shows?

“He has 95 concerts scheduled for this year…”

…at least 30 of which he plans to show for.

My news pick of the day from AllAboutCountry:
“Colgate Country Showdown To Air This Weekend -
Hosted By LeAnn Rimes

The 26th Annual Colgate Country Showdown airs on FOX-TV this Saturday, April 19th at 5 pm (ET).

The finals took place on January 24, 2008 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and were hosted by Curb/Asylum star LeAnn Rimes. The five national finalists competed in front of a panel of music industry judges for the chance at $100,000. This weekend to see who walked away with the prize.”

The Colgate competition is always interesting to watch although I don’t know if any of the previous winners have ever gone on to have a successful career? Highly recommended for Nashville Star fans!

Ben Lee is most famous here in the US for having been a long term boyfriend of actress Claire Danes. I saw him perform live once and wasn’t too impressed….

Kasey Chambers has been a favorite artist of mine since about 2002 but strayed far from her country roots on her last album “Carnival”, which was also her poorest selling album. Ashley Monroe did a fine job of covering Kasey’s composition “Pony” on Ashley’s “Satisfied” album. Hopefully Kasey will bring the “Rattlin’ Bones” acoustic concert tour to the US at some point…..

Wow, it seems like a lot of people named “Matt” not only like country but write about it too. ;)

I have Shane Nicholson’s last record and it’s a very good adult pop rock record with some country dashed in on a few tracks. Together with his wife, that will be special.
