Sara Evans’ Divorce Finalized

Brody Vercher | October 1st, 2007 Email Share

  • Keith Urban is believed to have been in a motorcycle accident near his home in Sydney after being followed by paparazzi. Fortunately he’s been reported to be uninjured by the crash.
  • Steve Terrell says “the original 1973 version of Bobby Bare Sings Lullabys, Legends, and Lies ranks right up there with Willie Nelson’s Phases and Stages, Waylon Jennings’ Honky Tonk Heroes, and Jerry Jeff Walker’s Viva Terlingua as one of the most lofty achievements of the Outlaw Era in Country Music.
  • Prior to writing the songs for Tramp On Your Street Billy Joe Shaver had borrowed a guitar from Harlan Howard, who believed that certain guitars had songs living inside of them.

    “It was a little baby Martin,” Shaver said. “I took it and wrote all them songs and got that record together. Then I saw Harlan one night at Brown’s Diner. I said, ‘Here’s your record,’ and gave it to him, and the next day he calls and says, ‘I want that (expletive) guitar back.’ Oh, he was mad. He said, ‘All those songs were in there.’ “

  • Pam Tillis will be releasing the first Christmas album of her career and even “roped” her father into doing a duet.
  • The ugly divorce between Sara Evans and Craig Schelske has finally come to a conclusion on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Evans must pay her ex-husband a total of $500,000 over the next ten years.
  • Dolly Parton turned down the chance to become a judge on American Idol. She says, “to tell someone if they’re good or bad, or if they suck isn’t me.”
  • After suffering a stroke in 2003 Steven Fromholz wasn’t ever supposed to play guitar or write songs again, but through sheer determination and a lot of hard work he’s been able to overcome that obstacle and perform shows once again as today’s Texas Poet Laureate.
  • Faith Hill is having a musical identity crisis. She says she doesn’t feel like she fits in with Music Row, but she’s a country girl and her music is real.
  • 75 essential blues albums, Texas style.
  • The abridged history of Bobbie and Willie Nelson.

    In 1976, Willie bought Bobbie an $85,000 Bosendorfer grand piano like the one she played on “Red Headed Stranger.” But when IRS agents seized Willie’s property in 1990 to help satisfy a $16.7 million tax lien, Bobbie’s piano was among the Pedernales studio contents auctioned off.

    Friends of the Nelsons bought the Bosendorfer and gave it back to Bobbie. It’s the piano she plays so exquisitely on “Audiobiography” and all of Willie’s records.

    She also says she thinks Willie smokes too much marijuana.

    Thank God the Evans divorce is over and she’s rid herself of that unemployed low-life.

    Roger that, Dave. It seems to me she had a lot more to lose from a very public, drawn out divorce. People says that Evans has primary custody of the kids and the house in Tennessee, but she has to pay him $600,000 plus their two houses in Oregon. Ouch.

    Way to go Faith! I respect her for sticking up for herself and choosing to put musical integrity ahead of radio play. Maybe if all artists weren’t afraid to step outside of the box, everything on radio wouldn’t sound the same. It is interesting though that four of the biggest and most talented women in country in the late 90s/early 2000s have been pushed out/subsequently left the format. Harsh world for the women…very sad.

    it would be sadder if Faith put a premium on recording interesting and compelling country music instead of just interesting and compelling pop adult contemporary music.
