Tuesday Evening News Roundup
- Porter Wagoner is recording an album produced by Marty Stuart with a song that Johnny Cash gave him. Yes, it’s true. The Tennessean reports that while Marty Stuart was touring with Johnny Cash in 1981 Cash gave him the song and told him to give it to Porter. Stuart says he remembered it this year and dug it up in his warehouse. The song is titled “Committed to Parkview”. The legend of Johnny Cash continues on.
- Phil Vassar and his wife held a 40-person dinner at their home last night to celebrate Jamie Redford’s, son of Robert Redford, first visit to Nashville. The night included live music and among the guests were Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill.
- Jimmy Buffettt reached a settlement in the lawsuit he had against a website owner. In our previous post we mentioned that this wasn’t the first time the guy had been forced to take down a website for infringing on Buffett’s rights. Akard, the offender, spent some time in jail and promised that he wouldn’t sell Buffet-labeled items in the future. Hopefully the guy learned his lesson this time.
- The Music City Syndicate has a good article about Dierks Bentley. They talk about his dedication, hard work, and desire to please his fans. It’s a good read about Bentley who looks destined to make a name for himself.

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.
