Put A Girl In It: Brooks & Dunn Put 100 Bikini Girls In New Music Video
- Yesterday’s video shoot for Brooks & Dunn’s “Put a Girl In It” called for 1,000 models, but the duo had to settle for 100 bikini-clad girls. Bummer.
- Porter Wagoner took “Satisfied Mind” to No. 1 in 1955, but the Hear Ya indie music blog introduces several other notable covers and posts a quote from one of the songwriters, Red Hayes, about the origin of the song.
- CMT launched Music City Madness, an online battle of the bands contest for unsigned artists or musicians. The winner will be flown to Nashville to record their own Unplugged at Studio 330 session, perform a private showcase with A&R executives from Warner Bros. Records Nashville and be mentored by Randy Travis.
- Dolly Parton’s stage version of 9 to 5: The Musical will open on Broadway next April.
- Lee Ann Womack attributes her long stretch between albums to her struggle over what kind of music to record and the demands of being a working mother.
Musically, Lee Ann wasn’t sure which direction she wanted to take. Her heart screams for pure, traditional country, and the critics adore her work in that area. But her most popular song was the pop-feeling country song “I Hope You Dance,” and that’s much of what country radio plays today.
She’ll release her album, Call Me Crazy, in the fall and Beverly Keel says word is spreading that she’s made another Album of the Year contender.
- UMG Nashville posted a preview for Sugarland’s “The Making of Love On the Inside” video. You get the full 20-minute version when you purchase Love On The Inside Deluxe Fan Edition.
- For an ex-tree helpin’ of that good ole country music, and flowing in the same traditional vein as yesterday’s Heybale recommendation, check out James Hand on MySpace. According to his bio, a new album should be out before the end of the summer.
- Country Universe has an open call for you to nominate the worst lyrics from a country song.

Wow. How did Brooks and Dunn come up with such an original and creative idea….

At least the follow up wont take as long to hit the shelves as Hand’s “debut” did. He is awesome, and to say he is the “real deal” is an understatement on my part, for sure.

I can’t help but giggle when I hear the B&D song because one of my nephews always says “earl” instead of “girl”….
July 16, 2008 at 11:59 am Permalink
Jessica,
maybe they could make that the “My Name is Earl” theme song…

I’m really looking forward to new music from James Hand. His “first” album was a revelation to me.

They shouldn’t put an Earl in it. That didn’t work out too well for Wanda.
I’m sure that the 100 bikini-clad girls in the Brooks & Dunn will be presented in a way that empowers women. Right?

Wow, some of those gals in the Brooks and Dunn bikini pictures look like high school girls or maybe even recent ex-competitors on Nashville Star! Where did they put out the casting call, Taylor Swift’s website? (lol)
The second picture of the bikini gals in the series has a gal to the far left that sure looks a lot like aspiring singer Candi Carpenter. Candi is the current squeeze of songwriter/singer(?) Bobby Tomberlin and used to tour with Jack Greene. H
Here’s a link to Candi’s MySpace and do any of the rest of you think that might be her?

James Hand does a great job of updating the Hank Williams Sr. sound and reminds me of Wayne Hancock. I sure am glad Texans still support such artists as it encourages some of the young’uns on the way up to give such hyper-traditional country music styles a go even though Nashville couldn’t care less……

Did the recent bagging myself and some other 9513 participants directed at Alison Bonaguro over at the CMT Blog help motivate her most recent article?

One other thing: The Airhead Country friendly Brooks & Dunn single “Put A Girl In It” (mentioned above) is currently at # 3 on the R&R country singles chart. Isn’t it a bit late to be doing a music video? Well, when you’re as big as Brooks and Dunn I guess it doesn’t matter so much….

Rick, to your second comment, I suspect so. *thinks about putting a smiley face, but decides against it*
July 17, 2008 at 12:27 am Permalink
Rick, to your third comment, I was wondering the same thing. Kind of late for a video, I’d think. I guess it’s for posterity? Yuck.
July 17, 2008 at 1:01 am Permalink
where are you all seeing pictures of the video shoot cause I don’t see any

“New” Country is sooooo gay. Country musicians should look like 10 miles of bad road. All I can say is that there are no new country music artists with an asslick of talent. If you’re all hat and no cattle, then maybe shiny, overproduced music with retarded lyrics is just what you are looking for.
July 23, 2008 at 5:20 pm Permalink
How would one quantify an “asslick”?
July 23, 2008 at 6:05 pm Permalink
So Efrain,
“Old” country is sooooo Straight? Because Willie Nelson always looked like “10 Miles of Bad Road” what about Kenny Rogers, oh wait, he was pop. Yeah, that’s it? Eddy Arnold? Yeah, he was pop too. Did they all have an ‘asslick’ of talent?
Oh and last time I checked, Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks aren’t exactly models.
