This just in from the "I'm THIS old" department... BILLY RAY CYRUS CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF DEBUT ALBUM SOME GAVE ALL Today Billy Ray Cyrus celebrates the 30th Anniversary of his iconic debut album, Some Gave All. The album, which includes Cyrus' No. 1 hit single, "Achy Breaky Heart," was a breakout success, which catapulted the Kentucky native into superstar status and he quickly became a household name. Some Gave All earned the rank as the No. 1 best-selling album of 1992, reached RIAA® 9x multi-platinum status in the U.S. and remained Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart for 17 consecutive weeks. To date, Cyrus's albums have accumulated over 930 million streams globally. To stream and download Some Gave All, click HERE. Some Gave All, released via Mercury Records, produced Billboard chart-toppers "Could've Been Me", “Wher'm I Gonna Live When I Get Home?” and "She's Not Cryin' Anymore" along with Cyrus's RIAA® multi-platinum hit "Achy Breaky Heart," which spent five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, as well as a Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Achy Breaky Heart" became a worldwide sensation and has now amassed nearly 400 million streams globally along with the recently remastered music video, which has garnered 89 million views. This single also earned Cyrus GRAMMY nominations for Record of the Year, Best Country Vocal Performance (Male) and Best New Artist. (And honorary "redneck 'Romeo'" status, see the embedded Dolly video below for a fine demonstration). Some Gave All sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. SOME GAVE ALL TRACKLISTING: 1.

The critically and commercially acclaimed superstar has established himself as a household name across multiple areas of the entertainment landscape, including music, television, theater and more. When one scopes out Cyrus’s trophy case, the awards are represented across all genres: GRAMMY® Awards, Billboard Music Awards, BET Hip Hop Awards, MTV VMA Moonmen, Country Music Association Awards, American Music Awards and Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Juno Awards, among many other accolades. The Flatwoods, KY native exploded onto the music scene when his first album, Some Gave All, debuted on the all-genre Billboard album chart at No. 1 and stayed there for a record-breaking 17 weeks in 1992. The lead single, "Achy Breaky Heart," became a phenomenon and went multi-platinum. After "Achy Breaky Heart," Cyrus followed up with back-to-back hits “It Could’ve Been Me,” “She’s Not Crying Anymore,” “Wher'm I Gonna Live When I Get Home?” and the anthemic “Some Gave All.” Cyrus knocked himself out of the top Billboard position with his second No. 1 album, It Won’t Be The Last, featuring smash hits “In the Heart of a Woman,” “Words By Heart” and “Somebody New.” His success continued with dozens more singles that redefined country music. He's also enjoyed a successful career as an actor in the series Doc and Still The King, as well as the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana with his daughter Miley.

Brooks & Dunn provided compelling delivery as hosts while announcing the three 2022 CMA Country Music Hall of Fame Inductees, reflecting on achievements and sharing stories with the crowd gathered at the Hall of Fame. Record executive Joe Galante was clearly moved at the news as he shared specifics of how much the recognition moved him (and Brooks & Dunn added personal touches to his music business story, too). Lorrie Morgan spoke touchingly on Whitley's behalf and also recognized Whitley's family members who were in attendance. The event shed even more light on Whitley's background - not the least of which is the fact that his untimely death came mere weeks before (a what was meant to be a surprise to him, he never knew) an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry. The groundbreaking Jerry Lee Lewis rounds out this year's three. Lewis made it well known he was just so grateful and happy to be there, thanking everyone and smiling as he began to speak after an introduction of "getting his name out there any way he could", proving it true by starting his acceptance with: "I'm Jerry Lee Lewis."
Lewis will be inducted in the “Veterans Era Artist” category and Whitley will be inducted in the “Modern Era Artist” category while Galante will be inducted in the “Non-Performer” category.
"To be recognized by Country Music with their highest honor is a humbling experience,” says Lewis. “The little boy from Ferriday, La. listening to Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams never thought he'd be in a Hall amongst them. I am appreciative of all those who have recognized that Jerry Lee Lewis music is Country Music and to our almighty God for his never-ending redeeming grace."
A formal induction ceremony for Lewis, Whitley and Galante will take place at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in the CMA Theater this Fall. Since 2007, the Museum’s Medallion Ceremony, a reunion of the Hall of Fame membership, has served as the official rite of induction for new members.

Tremendous congratulations to all of the inductees. And if you'd like to watch the full video for yourself, here it is (though unfortunately at any given moment the CMA may or may not have it set to private):

This one goes out to the wild hearts: In case you were out there as a drifter, dreamer, hearing the rhythm of a beat-up old guitar, painting the sky behind your shining light... Co-writer of Keith Urban smash "Wild Hearts" singer/songwriter Eric Paslay independently releases his Even If It Breaks Your Barefoot Friday Night album today. The pinnacle moment marks the first time he has recorded his own takes on many of these major hits made famous by his contemporaries like Jake Owen, Eli Young Band, Rascal Flatts ("Rewind") and others, along with some of his own tunes revisited. Eric has cemented himself as a certified hitmaker and one of the most influential writers and singers in country music. The album, produced by Mitch Furr, can be found on fans' favorite platforms here. Paslay's "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" also gets a brand new lyric video which features personal and never-before-seen pictures and videos of Eric's journey in music, watch here! Follow the exclusive photo moments and memories he shares from his journey on his Instagram. He says: "I can guarantee y'all a project with songs you already love and 5 #1's. Have fun. I sure did when we recorded them!!" Eric is capping off the Even If It Breaks Your Barefoot Friday Night project with the No. 1 single, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" made popular by Eli Young Band. The song went on to be certified 2x multi-platinum by the RIAA, named one of the "Top 100 Songs of the Decade" by Country Aircheck and GRAMMY and ACM nominated. The album also includes the No. 1, platinum-certified, and another "Top 100 Songs of the Decade" winner, "Angel Eyes," recorded by Love and Theft. The masterfully bare piano-infused achiness of "She Don't Love You," released by Paslay himself, was ACM-nominated for Song of the Year and another renowned success. "I've loved these songs from the day I wrote them. Finally, as an independent artist, I had the opportunity to reimagine, record and own these masters. People have always asked if I'm more of a singer or more of a songwriter. The answer is I'm BOTH and always will be and this project exemplifies just that," said Paslay. The next of the cutting-edge singer/songwriter's NFT Drops will be April 20 and will give fans the opportunity to bid on 10 NFTs to gain ownership of 1% master recording royalty participation of Eric's new album. |

This is no foul play: Multi-platinum Quartz Hill Records artist Joe Nichols debuts the official music video for his latest single, the multi-meaning “Home Run,” today, Monday, November 15. The video world premiered on CMT this morning and will continue airing throughout the day on CMT Music. Fans can also check out the moving video at CMT.com.
Filmed in and around Nashville including the Music City Baseball field, and directed by David “Doc” Abbott, the “Home Run” music video chronicles a day in Nichols’ life on the road and the sweet reunion with his family – wife Heather and daughters Dylan (9) and Georgia (7) – as he returns home on his bus.
“This video really captures the lyrics of the song, those moments of me working and out on the road and getting to come home,” says Nichols. “I love that my family is in it. I loved having my wife and my kids, my mom, and my sister in it. That’s what I really miss when I’m out on the road. It’s the first time my wife, Heather has been in one of my videos so that was a lot of fun.”
“Home Run” was penned by award-winning songwriters Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson and Ross Copperman. The song marks Nichols’ first new music since his 2018 EP, Never Gets Old: Traditional Country Series, and the first music since reuniting with veteran label head Benny Brown with whom Nichols enjoyed two multi-week No. 1 singles, the RIAA Gold-certified hits “Yeah” and “Sunny and 75” from the critically-acclaimed album, Crickets.
The video premiere follows the announcement of Nichols’ long-awaited new album, Good Day For Living, releasing on 2/11/22. The 13-song collection, his inaugural project with new label home and tenth studio album, ushers in a new era of classic-influenced country music from one of the format’s most-lauded 21st-century traditionalists.
His first new full-length project in four years, Good Day For Living reunites Nichols with acclaimed music producers Mickey Jack Cones and Derek George, who helmed his 2013 album Crickets containing back-to-back number 1 GOLD-certified hits "Sunny and 75" and "Yeah.” Cones also produced Nichols’ follow-up album, critically acclaimed Never Gets Old.
In addition to his newest single, "Home Run,” the album features “Screened In,” (out now). "I Wanna Be Your Tonight" (available 12/10) and the title track," Good Day For Living” (available 1/28). The entire project is a no-doubt nod to Nichols’ traditional roots, showcasing his smooth baritone on Saturday night dancehall stunner “Brokenhearted,” the light and fun “I Got Friends That Do,” featuring Blake Shelton, and the classic country tear-jerker “She Was.”
Pre-Save/Pre-Add Good Day For Living HERE.
About Joe Nichols:
Multi-platinum Quartz Hill Records’ Joe Nichols is one of country music’s most-lauded recording artists. A 21st century traditionalist, Nichols is an artist who is both timely and timeless – one who has racked up a half-dozen Number 1 singles and ten Top 10 hits with a sound that blurs the boundaries between country music's past and present. It's an approach that has earned Nichols three GRAMMY nominations, a CMA award, an ACM trophy, a CMT “Breakthrough Video of the Year” Award as well as multiple gold and platinum-certified records. Nichols’ additional honors include awards from Billboard, Radio & Records and Music Row Magazine as well as a New York Times “Best-Albums-of-the-Year” nod. The celebrated star has appeared on national media programs ranging from the ACM Presents: Superstar Duets on CBS to The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The View, Entertainment Tonight and Austin City Limits.

Carter Releases Re-Recordings, Brand New Digital Material Commemorating the 25th of remembering "...when 30 was old"
|
Carter is also releasing a new music video for the remake of her breakout 2x platinum, award-winning, debut hit single “Strawberry Wine.” WATCH HERE (or below). From Carter’s signature songbird vocals and the piano intro that instantly takes you back to 1996, to the sonic sounds of country artists Ashley McBryde, Lauren Alaina, Kylie Morgan, Martina McBride, Vince Gill and the reimagined arrangement, Carter has outdone herself this time around. The girl power in the recording studio is as pure as the song itself, with glimpses of the emotional artists at the mic, the finest Nashville session players, and the bottle of bubbly to celebrate the session when they finished. The behind-the-scenes look was shot at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville.
The song -- co-written by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison -- has stood the test of time; which is a testament to the power of a well-crafted story song and to Carter’s stunning voice. Even as a newcomer in 1996, Carter was able to waltz right in and reach No. 1 with “Strawberry Wine.” Her very first single off of her very first album went on to be named the Country Music Association’s Single of the Year and Song of the Year in 1997, and “Strawberry Wine” was also nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Country Song, the Academy of Country Music Awards for Best Country Song, and the Country Music Radio Awards for Song of the Year. The official music video from 1996 is full of nostalgia and was directed by Roger Pistole.
The 25th anniversary editions of Carter’s album being released today from Capitol Nashville/UMe have been remastered from the original recordings and will be released on CD with two bonus tracks, as well as a Digital Deluxe with an additional ten songs, seven of which will be available digitally for the first time.CLICK HERE TO ORDER EITHER FORMAT.
“These new versions are a way of raising a glass to everyone who loves these songs, and to the country radio stations still playing them, and to say thank you. I hope everyone enjoys celebrating 25 years of Did I Shave My Legs for This? as much as I've enjoyed putting together these very special releases,” Carter shared.
Carter will be celebrating the album’s release when she headlines a one-night-only show at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on November 18, with special guests Charles Esten and Breland, as well as appearances by Terri Clark, Kylie Morgan and more surprise guests. Tickets available HERE.
“It is such an honor and a career highlight to finally headline the Ryman, our sacred Mother Church, especially being a Nashville native and growing up in the industry, knowing that my dad, Fred Carter, Jr., performed on that stage with so many greats,” Carter says. “And all falling within the 25th anniversary re-release of my very first album Did I Shave My Legs for This? on UMG Nashville. It is a ‘pinch-me’ moment now, and it will be on that super special night, too.”
In addition, Carter will be hosting a virtual listening party to let the whole world hear the album today (November 5) at 2 p.m. CT. Join HERE. And later this month, on November 16 at 8 p.m. CT, Carter will be chatting with fans about the 25th Anniversary Edition on Talk Shop LIVE, hosted by Kelly Sutton. Join that chat HERE.

EDDIE MONTGOMERY'S DEBUT SOLO ALBUM, “AIN'T NO CLOSING ME DOWN” RELEASED OCTOBER 29, 2021
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART.COM - ORDER NOW PEOPLE.COM PREMIERES NEW SONG AND VIDEO, "MY SON" "Ain’t No Closing Me Down,” country superstar Eddie Montgomery’s debut solo 12-track album, will be available exclusively at Walmart on October 29 via Average Joe's Entertainment. Available for order at Walmart.com, the new album was produced by Grammy-award-winning producer Noah Gordon and award-winning producer, Shannon Houchins. “My Son,” featured on the new album and in new American Western film Old Henry premiered on People.com. Montgomery Gentry’s sound is at the heart and soul of Eddie Montgomery’s album. The Wild Bunch, Montgomery Gentry’s band for the past 20 years, played on the recording sessions for the new album and provides both a tribute to Montgomery’s late partner, Troy Gentry, as well as a sonic bridge to carry out his legacy well into the future. “Troy is with me and will always be with me. He helped me write this album,” remarked Montgomery who wrote on eight of the 12 tracks. “I got together with some of my best songwriting buddies and we wrote about life – the good, the bad, the ugly, and the party on the weekends." The title track is a rock-driven, honky-tonk offering that addresses Montgomery’s outlook for the future; “Alive and Well,” “sings about resilience in the face of adversity,” (Rolling Stone Country), and “My Son” featured on the soundtrack of a new American Western film, “Old Henry,” is a cautionary tale from a father to a son. Highlights on the new album also include “Higher,” a duet with country royalty Tanya Tucker; “She Just Loves Me,” a love song to his wife - the first love song Montgomery has ever written; and “Ain’t She Beautiful,” an incredible ballad co-written by nephew Walker Montgomery. About Eddie Montgomery With 20 plus charted singles, the Kentucky-born multi-platinum Montgomery Gentry has earned CMA, ACM, and GRAMMY awards and nominations with undeniable blue-collar anthems like “Hell Yeah,” “My Town,” and “Hillbilly Shoes." They notched five No. 1 singles, "If You Ever Stop Loving Me," "Something To Be Proud Of," "Lucky Man," "Back When I Knew It All" and "Roll With Me." They were inducted as Grand Ole Opry members in 2009 and were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2015. Montgomery Gentry released the full-length album Outskirts (Deluxe) in November 2019. |

After seeing a recent news story about an organization transferring 19 dogs and cats from a Baton Rouge shelter in the path of Hurricane Ida, they knew the time was now. Presley and Taylor asked their record label, White Mustang Records, to adjust their release schedule to accommodate the release of “Choose Me” in time for October’s Dog Adoption Month.
“We’ve been hanging on to ‘Choose Me,’ because we just loved the song,” said Presley & Taylor jointly. “Pet adoption is very close to our hearts and seeing the news story really struck a chord with us. We hope this song spurs people to adopt a pet from a local shelter and give a dog or cat the love it deserves.”
The single cover art (see below) features Presley & Taylor’s own rescue dog Rocky. The cuddly King Charles mix was first rescued by their grandmother in Connecticut. After her passing, the girls brought Rocky to live with them in Nashville.
Coinciding with the single release, Presley & Taylor are also thrilled to announce that they have decided to support PEDIGREE Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Franklin, TN, with proceeds from the streaming and downloads of “Choose Me" benefiting the organization. Proceeds from the single will support PEDIGREE Foundation’s annual grant program, which supports rescues and shelters across the country. Presley & Taylor will serve as PEDIGREE Foundation ambassadors encouraging their fans to adopt, volunteer or donate to help end pet homelessness.
The need to help rescues and shelters across the country has increased due to the pandemic and recent emergency situations, such as Hurricane Ida and the fires in California and surrounding states that have displaced many animals in need of a loving home. PEDIGREE Foundation works tirelessly to end pet homelessness and help dogs get the loving homes they deserve.
“PEDIGREE Foundation does a great job building awareness and identifying specific needs in times of disaster to make sure that resources go where they’re needed most,” said Presley & Taylor. “This relationship aligns perfectly with the goals we have for this song and helping spread awareness for pet adoption, and we are so proud to support PEDIGREE Foundation as ambassadors."
Written by Tim Johnson and Joseph Williams Pupora, “Choose Me” is available at all streaming platforms via OneRPM now, coinciding with the start of Dog Adoption Month, and will be made available to radio via PlayMPE on October 4. The song can be streamed and downloaded HERE.
A music video directed by The Edde Brothers is in the works.
The duo has recorded music, interviews and more at the Rebel Ranch Sound Stage, and the first official release, a beautiful a cappella rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner,” received over a half million views over July 4th weekend. Their “22 Red Flags” single followed the career-establishing “Everybody Sees It” and “Don’t Even Know Your Mama” singles, which have garnered millions of combined streams. The “Everybody Sees It” music video premiered on CMT Music and CMT.com and hit the #1 spot on the fan-voted CMT Music 12-Pack Countdown.

About
Hi. I'm a member of the country club. Country Music is what I love.
Are you somewhere that you don't belong? Without a jukebox and a country song? Maybe you came here seeking a nice, bright, sunny, resort-y kind of place. The kind of place festooned with ferns. Maybe this was even your LAST resort. We hope not. But don't worry, we still have the best of intentions with this blog - you might not find a lot of tennis but we still intend to raise a racket now and then. (In other words --- although you will sometimes find press releases here we net ORIGINAL content too).
