“Thank You Miss Audrey (For Breaking Hank’s Heart)”
- I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. We used yesterday as an extended break from posting, besides there’s not much news to report on and only one album of note (that I can find) came out today, Jason Aldean’s Relentless.
- If you plan on hitting up the CMA Music Festival then be sure to check out one of the free concerts featuring Jason Michael Carroll, Elizabeth Cook, Jennifer Hanson, Tanya Tucker and Darryl Worley. That’s a pretty decent lineup, if you ask me.
- An article from the Star-Telegram argues that females are taking the done-me-wrong songs to a whole new level, and they’re a lot tougher and angrier than their “rugged cowboy” male counterparts. They go on to dissect a few songs from the likes of Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Kellie Pickler to back up their case.
- Music City Syndicate has a lengthy piece on recent Harvard graduate, Liz Carlisle, in which she unleashes this pearl of wisdom:
“I think most people have come to the long overdue realization that country music is not hick music,” Liz says. “It’s an incredibly rich tradition with a lot of wisdom about humanity, and I think people of all backgrounds are attracted to that.”
- Toby Keith is one of eight people who have been chosen to be inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.
- And lastly, on this day in 1952 Hank Williams and his wife Audrey were divorced. As the Bruce Robison penned/Geezinslaw performed song so aptly puts it, “I want to thank you Miss Audrey, for breaking Hank’s heart.”

The 9515 was named as a finalist out of thousands of nominations for Best Music Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards, and now we need your help. Voting only takes a second, and you don't need to provide any personal information--not even your email address.
We've labored long and hard to come up with our list of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2008. Click here to see who claimed the honor of the year's top album, as chosen by The 9513's staff and writers.
Don’t confuse disappointing with worst, as that list would most likely be dominated by obscure indie knockoff bands along with a couple of mainstream releases. There has to be a modicum of expectation that’s dashed upon the release of an album for it to qualify for the year’s most disappointing.
Join host Kelly Dearmore as he shines the light on several noteworthy album releases you might have missed and interviews various artists, from Sarah Borges to Trent Willmon and Reckless Kelly to Wade Bowen, in the first two episode of The 9513 podcast.Tagged In This Article
