Fans of the Zac Brown Band are standing up for 'Jump Right In,' the new single from 'Uncaged.' Last night the song ousted Katie Armiger's latest on the Showdown, making two wins in a row for the Georgia group. Today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, the new track will face off against the latest from Jon Pardi.
March 20, 2013 The year 1994 was a pretty darn good one for Joe Diffie. His "Third Rock From the Sun" album reached number six on the charts and a single from that collection, "Pickup Man" sat at number one for four weeks. Now Joe is reliving that year and resurfacing on country radio's radar thanks to Jason Aldean's hot new single "1994" which references Joe and several of his big hits in the lyric. And what a run of hits he had!
Zac Brown Band fans blew up the phone lines on Taste of Country Nights radio last night, pushing the group's new single past the latest from Casey James in this daily song battle. 'Jump Right In' will need a stronger online effort on Tuesday to make it back-to-back wins, and fans of Katie Armiger have proven in the past that they're up for any challenge.
I've been to dozens of weddings in my day as both a guest and as a host. One thing that stands out is that, if you have plenty of Irish guests, the DJ had better play some Bing Crosby and The Chiffons. If there is a significant Polish crowd, polkas are in order and for Italian weddings, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sound great during dinner. With Culture Fest coming to the Stanley on April 13th, we thought we'd share some all time wedding favorites with you.
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler recently expressed his interest in working with country superstar Taylor Swift on some tracks. Which raises the question, what on Earth would that sound like? Well, if you're one of the many fans who've been wondering that very thing, now you're in luck.
March 15, 2013 Blaine Holcomb from the Fulton Chain Gang gave us a little taste of what we can expect when they kick off the entertainment at our 25th Wild West FrogFest & Rodeo June 15th at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds.
March 14, 2013 The ladies showed the guys how it was done on 'American Idol' as the top 10 took on songs from previous Idol winners. Candice Glover had one of the most memorable performances and received a standing ovation for her performance of 'I Who Have Nothing.' Kree Harrison and Janelle Arthur stuck to their country roots, Angie Miller blew away a Celine Dion song and Amber Holcomb closed the show with Kelly Clarkson's Idol winning song.
March 13, 2013 For the past couple of years, Taylor Swift has been everywhere you look. Now, new research indicates that many of her recent cover photos haven't done as well selling those magazines at the newsstand.
March 12, 2013 If you haven't heard, I'm a HUGE Keith Urban fan. That man can sing anything and I'll melt. Today I was surfing YouTube and found this little gem. Keith Urban was on stage in Australia with Guy Sebastian and sang 'Ain't No Sunshine.' First, this is one of my favorite songs. Second, to hear Keith sing it and then get into the rhythm with his guitar while Guy sang was so good I thought I'd share. Watch and enjoy; even if you're not a Keith fan.
March 11, 2013 KENNY CHESNEY took a break from rehearsing for his 'No Shoes Nation' Tour to do a surprise show at a club in Jacksonville, Florida. From the sold out sign, it looks like it wasn't much of a surprise to his fans.
March 8, 2013 Every summer on vacation, I always pick up a copy of "Sports Illustrated", not the swimsuit edition but the "Where are they now?" edition. It's always fun to see where big names of the past are today. One big name in country music is Roy Clark, and he's still going strong.
March 8, 2013 Willie Nelson may be pushing 80 (April 30) but unlike some of his contemporary's like George Jones and younger artists like George Strait he has no plans to cut back on his recording or touring schedule. His new CD, "Let's Face the Music and Dance" is slated for release on April 16 and--like Willie--is an unpredictable mix of musical genres.
