LeAnn Rimes. Bryan White. Two voices I could listen to forever and a day. These two aren’t on the radio nearly often enough! I dunno, it has something to do with the fact they’ve been living out their happily ever after with their families and all… They both wear happiness beautifully.
Bryan White has a lot going on this Holiday Season. Visit his official website for information on his second annual Christmas Tour. See Bryan White Christmas Tour Dates for information. Bryan White singing Christmas songs? There’s nothing about that I don’t love.
Bryan White has one of the best voices in country music. A quick visit to YouTube will quickly prove my point. Amazing voice, unbelievable song-writing talent, and he seems like a first-class person.
As for beautiful LeAnn Rimes (Did you see her at the CMA’s? – More gorgeous than ever, and obviously so happy!), her much anticipated new album, Lady & Gentlemen, is available on Amazon. You can hear samples of the great songs by clicking the link or image below. I love a lot of different musical artists and, like everyone, have my personal favorites Country female stars. But if I were stranded on an island and could listen only take two country female star’s cds with me… they’d be LeAnn Rimes and Patsy Cline.
Order Lady & Gentlemen today and grab copies for gift-giving. LeAnn’s back and she isn’t taking any prisoners.
One of my favorite bands, The Band Perry, just hit a milestone (something this trio had better get used to). Their latest hit single, “You Lie,” has now earned Gold certification from the RIAA for sales exceeding 500,000.
“You Lie” was written by The Henningsens (comprised of a dad, his daughter, and his son): Aaron (dad), Brian and Clara Henningsen.
“You Lie’ is full of spitfire and it’s our high-five to everyone who’s been the victim of a cheatin’ heart,” explained The Band Perry. “Only in Country music could a song about feeling fed-up be so much fun to sing. When we perform this one, we get a big ‘amen!’ back and we thank everyone who has joined in.”
This Henningsen family is from Illinois, but their talent has landed them in the country music mecca, Nashville.
They’ve written other songs for The Band Perry and penned “Alone” which was recorded by Sara Evans. If they’re anywhere near as good as “You Lie,” this family will soon be household names.
The song below, “Moonbeams,” was written by The Band Perry and The Henningsens. It’s performed by The Henningsens, and as you can tell – this is a group with big things ahead. Love Clara Henningsen’s voice.
A few of the questions could be chalked up to a simple lack of information (like not knowing that the Band Perry is made up of siblings), a lack of imagination (to ask questions that have been asked a hundred times before), or just a case of DOH!(Seriously, asking Gretchen Wilson where she’s puked?!?!) – but mostly it seems to be a case of reporters not putting in the work.. not doing their research. If the artists showed up THAT unprepared, they wouldn’t be working in the industry very long.
Speaking of which, I miss Jessica Simpson. Seriously. I’m in love with her voice. I just wish she remembered the words….
We make frequent trips to the Grand Ole Opry, but in a cruel stroke of bad luck, we weren’t there on the night Crystal Bowersox made her spontaneous Grand Ole Opry debut. Music legend Vince Gill gets major “cool guy” points for giving a young artist this kind of an opportunity. If I weren’t already a huge fan of his (and the distinguishable voice that has been behind some of country music’s best songs ever), I certainly would be now.
I LOVE how important the moment was to Crystal. Her excitement and enjoyment were as beautiful as her voice.
Granted. I’ve loved every song Bo Bice has ever performed. From the moment he burst into his American Idol audition with, “You can call me Bo!” – I’ve seen something in Mr. Bice that can only be called mad star quality.
You Take Yourself With You is one of his best songs yet. It’s off of Bo’s third album, 3 (You gotta admit, the title is classic Bo Bice!). The rocker fits into country music beautifully.
Country music fans love:
talent
killer vocals
“meaningful” lyrics
genuine people
down to earth artists
patriotism
Bo Bice nails each and every one – and then some. And just between you and me…. I still think Bo or Constantine should have won their season.
Dr. Pepper has been a long-time friend of mine. I fell in love with Dr. Pepper and started drinking it (by the gallons) in Jr. High School. When I got a little older and decided the calories weren’t on my side anymore, I switched to Diet Dr. Pepper and it has been my constant companion for years. A bottle or glass is never too far away.
Now, Dr. Pepper is making me prouder than ever that I’ve supported them for so many years. They’ve used some of my favorite artists in their commercials (KISS, Fergie…) and now they’re teaming with Lady Antebellum for something pretty special.
Read on for the details. As for me, it’s high time for a Diet Dr. Pepper.

As a music fanatic, I have a lot of different favorites. When someone asks who my favorite female singer, male singer, or group is – the answers often vary. Sometimes it depends on who I’ve been listening to that day. But, when it comes to my favorite female artists, five-time Grammy Award winner Faith Hill is always amongst the top 3 I name. There’s just something about her voice that makes everything in the world RIGHT. A lot of artists have talent, but some of them just have an extra something IT that sets them apart. Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Tim McGraw, Creed, George Strait, Martina McBride, Kanye West, Shania Twain, Lady Antebellum, Daughtry, Rihanna, Jason Aldean, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Christina Aguilera…. they’re just a few who don’t (or didn’t) just have IT, they define IT.
Beautiful Faith Hill is teaming up with the world’s leading flower delivery service, Teleflora, for the creation of “The Collection by Faith Hill.”
The line has been designed to reflect Faith’s impeccable style, taste, and artistry. It will be unveiled in Teleflora’s newest television commercial, which will debut during Super Bowl XLV on FOX on Sunday, February 6. The commercial will air during the second quarter – just a little head’s up for the rest of you Faith Hill fans!
Throughout the year, Faith will collaborate with Teleflora on “The Collection by Faith Hill,” adding to the assortment with a variety of elegant bouquets, including flowers for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas, as well as everyday occasions.
The commercial that’ll air during the Super Bowl is a Valentine’s Day spot staged in a recording studio. Faith Hill steps in to coach her sound tech through a Valentine’s Day dilemma. Faith’s co-star in the commercial will be “The Collection by Faith Hill” Valentine’s Day assortment – “The Valentine’s Bouquet.”
Looking forward to the commercial and can’t wait to bring the flowers into my home. Everything Faith Hill touches is gold, a la Midas. Her first perfume (Faith Hill) is probably the best perfume on the market. It’s my favorite and, if you’ve ever sampled the perfume, you’ll know why. There’s no reason to expect that her Teleflora line will be anything but exceptional.
Maybe it Was Memphis is one of those songs you just get lost it – hoping and praying you’re never found. Outstanding lyrics and music combined with the voice of a Southern Angel (Pam Tillis) make for a song I could listen to all day, every day.
