Tanya Tucker Sued By Manicurist And Tim McGraw Hits Platinum For Let It Go
- Check out the online country music video contest they’re holding over at FameCast. They emailed us to let us know that the first season was a great success and now they’re accepting submissions for the second season. The public votes for which video they think is the top one and the winners move on. It appears to be an American Idol/Nashville Star type contest, but the winner receives $10,000.
- File this one under “Insanely Absurd Lawsuits:” Tanya Tucker is being sued by her manicurist for $300,000. The manicurist says she was attacked by one of Tucker’s dogs on a visit to the client’s home and that she suffered “painful and disfiguring” scars from the bite. The lawsuit was filed last week while the alleged biting took place a year ago.
- Tim McGraw’s album Let It Go has already reached platinum status.
- Josh Turner talks about all the sacrifices that his wife has made since the birth of their baby boy - sacrifices he says that he probably wouldn’t have been able to make. “I think that God gives mothers something that we fathers don’t have” [that'd make a pretty good premise for a country song].
- Porter Wagoner tells Billboard that Wagonmaster is an important project to him and that it feels like he’s started his career all over again. The album will be Wagoner’s first country album in seven years.
“I just want the record to be the best one I’ve ever done,” he says, “because it could be the last one I’ll ever do. If it is, I want it to be the best one I’ve done. I feel like you should get better all the time at the craft of what you do. I love gospel music, but it’s great to get back and do this, too. This is really my forte, country music.”
- CMT has another one of their 20 Questions articles up, this time the artist answering the questions is Miranda Lambert.
Of all the songs you’ve written, which one are you most proud of and why?
“Love Is Lookin’ for You” from Kerosene. As a songwriter that’s the favorite song I’ve written. I really wrote that song from my heart, and lyrically, it’s one of the more clever songs that I’ve written.

Free Music Downloads: If you’ve only recently come to country music, or have never delved past the genre’s surface and it’s most famous names, you may not have heard of Tom Russell. That’s a shame, and The 9513’s Free Music series is here to help set you down the right path.
Martina McBride - “Ride” Catchy, but a little low on cogency–not to mention originality. And it essentially resolves into the same kind of positive “message song” that has defined so much of McBride’s recent work.
Richie McDonald - “How Do I Just Stop” So gloriously simple and unequivocally lackluster that people of every political persuasion should rejoice in the opportunity to come together and have a hearty laugh at its expense.
Donnie Vondra - “If I Didn’t Love You” Combinining a golden trifecta of country music—steel guitar, fiddle and a strong, twangy vocal—"If I Didn't Love You" pulls together a sweet, toe-tapping ditty reminiscent of Marty Raybon-era Shenandoah.
Lance Miller - “Bacon Frying” A charming country song that is beautiful for its simplicity, a musical remnant from a time when songwriters understood that often the best thing to do is just get out of the song’s way.
John Rich - “Another You” For a guy who is supposed to be a genius songwriter, John Rich sure does seem to be running out of ideas. 
George Ducas - “Walk Through This World” Ducas banks on the success of recent artists’ pleasantly bland lyrics and agreeable instrumentation for his first release with WhiteStar Nashville.
In this exclusive interview for The 9513, Little Big Town’s Jimi Westbrook talks about life with the band, as well as A Place to Land, the group’s current album, which has charted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart on two separate occasions
Forgotten Artists: Cal Smith - When the Florida Sunshine Opry (Eustis, FL) booked its first “name” (non-local) act back in 1999, the act they chose was Cal Smith. No wonder, since Cal is an excellent singer, musician, storyteller and showman. | View more artists featured in Paul W. Dennis' recurring "Forgotten Artists" feature »

THIS MANICURIST SHOULD BE HONORED THAT TANYA TUCKER LET HER COME TO HER HOME, INSTEAD SHE SUES HER FOR A DOG BITE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET ONE OF TANYA’S DOGS BITE ME, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD SHOW TO OTHER FANS AND FRIENDS. SOME PEOPLE SPEND THEIR LIVES SUING OTHERS SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO WORK. KEEP SMILING TANYA, BECAUSE ALL YOUR FANS ARE SMILING WITH YOU ABOUT THIS INSANE LAW SUIT. KATHY GOSS

“I WOULD BE HAPPY TO LET ONE OF TANYA’S DOGS BITE ME, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SOMETHING I COULD SHOW TO OTHER FANS AND FRIENDS.”
I say hell yeah. I’d take a bullet too, so I could show it off.
Something is insane here, not sure it’s the lawsuit.

Tanya fans need to learn about the cap key. Puncture wounds as a fans showpiece? I’d let Miranda Lambert bite me.

She should have sued for 3 million, Tanya Tucker should be in jail for keeping any animal in captivity. How would she like to be kept in an artificial environment?
