Rodney Atkins Celebrates Platinum Status And Last Of The Breed Debuts At #7 On Billboard
- Michelle Branch, from the “country” duo The Wreckers, has a stalker. The guy shows up at all of her shows, sends her letters and videos, and even lunged at her once during an autograph session. Scary stuff.
- Dierks Bentley and his wife Cassidy talked to People about their wedding on the beach in Mexico.
Although Dierks and Cassidy had dated while in high school, Dierks says the relationship didn’t last because he was “way too immature and into drinking beer and guns and blowing things up.”
- Chet Flippo gives a little insight to the upcoming albums from Pam Tillis and John Anderson. I’ve never really listened to much of Pam Tillis, but I love most of John Anderson’s previous work. His album is among one of the most anticipated of the year for me.
And she has never sounded better than she does now on Rhinestoned, her first album with new original material since 2001. Without sounding derivative, she brings a fresh approach to and a whiff of the musical sound of the era of Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and other country music progressives.
———————-
You will never mistake John Anderson’s voice for anyone else’s. He is about as country as they have ever come. If you ever want to get rid of some pompous music snobs at a party, just put on some John Anderson and crank it up all the way. Guaranteed to work. - Rodney Atkins celebrated the platinum status of his debut album on Wednesday. Atkins thanks his record label for sticking by his side and being supportive. His manager says the album succeeded because Atkins sang about real life and about himself.
- Last of the Breed debuts at number seven on the Billboard Country Music Chart.
- Clay Walker’s new album release is slated for April 17th.

I’m excited to hear the new John Anderson. I’m hoping it will be worth the wait.
Pam Tillis is the artist that got me into country music way back in ‘91, so to have her back in top form, six years after her last album of new songs, is making me very, very happy. “Rhinestoned” just might be her best record to date.

I want to hear the John Anderson album, too.
I think Willie’s on it, but that’s not the only reason I will like it. :)

Sounds like everyone is waitin’ on the John Anderson album. I’m pretty excited about it myself, so hopefully it meets expectations.
