Have you ever heard of Kegs Canal Side in Jordan, NY? If you haven't you need to get real familiar, real quick. They may be one of the best kept secrets in the Utica-Rome area.

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, Taste of Country asked over a dozen different country artists to share their first kiss stories. The responses are captured in these videos.

Joe Nichols says that in addition to a number of radio-friendly singles and pure country cuts, he'll do his best Sir Mix-a-lot on his next studio album.
