Willie Excited Every Morning He Wakes Up And Kenny Chesney Celebrates Star Studded Birthday
- Willie Nelson did an interview with CMT Insider in which he discusses his new record label, his sons, working with Kenny Chesney, and attracting women like Jessica Simpson and Mariah Carey.
What do you wake up in the morning the most excited about?
That I woke up. (laughs) That knocks me out every morning.
- Brad Paisley plans to release his new album, 5th Gear, on June 19th.
- The June Carter tribute album, Anchored in Love: A Tribute to June Carter Cash, was bumped up from June 19th to June 5th.
- Also set for a June 5th release date is the Marty Stuart duet album, Compadres: An Anthology of Duets.
- Dolly Parton admitted she was impressed with the style of a prostitute in her home town when she was growing up.
‘My clothes are as tacky as Graceland,’ she said, ‘but it’s helped me to be recognised all over the world. I have no taste or style and nobody cares. I love it.’
- Jack Ingram gives a little background info about his new album, This Is It, which was released today.
- Kenny Chesney celebrated his birthday at the Tin Roof in Nashville last night. He leaked word to his fan club that there would be a party, and he did not disappoint. Chesney played for more than three hours, occasionally inviting guests like Kix Brooks, Gretchen Wilson, John Rich, Jewel, and Montgomery Gentry to join him on vocals.
- Dave McKenna wrote a review of the Dierks Bentley/Jason Aldean concert on The Washington Post. McKenna enjoyed Bentley, but had a few qualms with Aldean.

Toby Keith - “She Never Cried In Front Of Me” Apart from the shifts in perspective and changes in tense, the major problem with this song is that the lyric fleshes out too many irrelevant details.

Randy Travis - “Dig Two Graves” The combination of song and Travis’ performance together are an example of what makes country music truly exceptional.
Pat Green - “Let Me” The song itself owns Pat Green and he gets lost somewhere in the melody.
Merle Haggard at the Ryman Auditorium: Of the Haggard classics, “Silver Wings,” “The Way I Am” and crowd-favorite “I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink” were performed with confident ease while “Kern River” was sung with inspired tenderness and “Back to Earth,” from 2007’s Last of the Breed, contained more than a trace of Willie’s nasally twang.
