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.

Forgotten Artists: Bradley Kincaid In a manner similar to Alan Lomax, William Bradley “The Kentucky Mountain Boy” Kincaid was one of the great American musicologists and collectors of American folk, country and parlor songs.
Forgotten Artists: Goldie Hill Had Carl Smith and Goldie Hill been born 30 or 40 years later, they might have been like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw–the dominant married couple in country music.
Miranda Lambert - “More Like Her” This kind of material, as opposed to her tough-chick-done-wrong romps like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” is where her real promise lies
Joey Rory - “Cheater, Cheater” It’s actually downright frivolous, but that just makes it all the more fun. And really, are you allowed to say “ho” on country radio?
Josh Gracin - “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” Despite initial marketing that touted the album as deep and personal, “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” is anything but deep or personal.
Josh Turner - "Everything Is Fine" Turner is the rare example of an artist who records material that’s both quality and trademark.
Darryl Worley - "Tequila On Ice" A groovy mid-tempo that sways, a refreshing reprieve from the exhausting pace of a format that clamors for loud music and swelling choruses.
Blake Shelton - "She Wouldn't Be Gone" It’s all about nailing the melody rather than providing a legitimate interpretation that accentuates the lyrical content, although Shelton does do a pretty good job of injecting what limited emotion he can.
Don’t look now, but Darius Rucker, lead singer of 90s rock group Hootie & The Blowfish, has a country hit on his hands. What you probably haven’t heard is that Rucker is the first black artist to chart a single in the country top 20 since Charley Pride last did it in 1988.
News that former Sugarland member and co-founder Kristen Hall is suing her ex-mates, to the tune of $1.5 million, goes a long way towards providing a bit of context regarding the Atlanta singer/songwriter’s sudden departure from the group.
In Memory of Don Helms (1927 - 2008) Helms dated back to a time when an excellent four or five piece band and a good singer were all that were needed to make great country music. No drums, no light shows, no production tricks in the recording studio–just good music.Tagged In This Article
