With a long and mega-successful career, you would think that Lionel Richie would have been nominated for practically every music award there is by now. But in the short time since he crossed over into the country side of things, Richie hasn't been formally honored for his work -- until now, that is. This year, the 'Just for You' hitmaker received his first ever CMA Awards nomination.
October is the biggest month for new country music yet, with eight different albums from the biggest superstars in Nashville scheduled to hit stores. Included in the new country music releases section for October 2012 are projects from Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift and Jerrod Niemann.
Song lyrics can be inspired by just about anything. Just ask Eric Church, who was hungover when he began to outline the lyrics to 'Creepin',' his fourth single from his highly-successful studio album, 'Chief.'
Be careful in concert parking lots, people! On Thursday (Sept. 6), two concertgoers were run over by an SUV in the parking lot of the PNC Banks Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J. after taking in the Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan gig at the venue.
Jason Aldean is gearing up to release his new album 'Night Train' on Oct. 16 and the superstar has notched the cover of PEOPLE Country in advance of the release. That's a high profile way to let fans, both casual and diehard, know that the sexy singer has a new album on the way.
September 5, 2012 Eric Church leads the list of nominees for the 46th annual CMA Awards, and Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes got his very first CMA nomination!
The best songs on country radio typically stem from co-writes where everybody has a good time. That was the case for Dierks Bentley‘s ‘Tip It on Back’ lyrics. Penned by Tully Kennedy (who is also the bass player in Jason Aldean‘s live and studio band, as well as co-producer of Thompson Square), Jon Nite and Ross Copperman, the tune came to life as the latest single from Bentley’s ‘Home’ album.
Blake Shelton is not quite finished with being No. 1 right now. This week, his latest single, ‘Over,’ once again locks in the top slot on the Billbaord and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts.
Dustin Lynch may have moved to Nashville to chase his dreams, but home is still where his heart is. The 27-year-old says he learned to write at the famous Bluebird Cafe, but learned to dream along the back roads and open country of Tullahoma, Tenn.
August 22, 2012 Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum will announce the nominations for the CMA Awards live on "Good Morning America" Sept 5!
