Hold your horses, cowpokes–Rodney Atkins’ new single, “Farmer’s Daughter,” is not a cover of Merle Haggard’s classic piece of country music poetry. In fact, Atkins’ innocuous vignette is about as far as possible from that father’s rumination on the night he’ll give his daughter away to a city boy.

Kellie Coffey was originally signed to BNA records in 2001, and it was a cut from her Dann Huff-produced 2002 album–”When You Lie Next to Me”–that introduced the country music world to her. The song spent an amazing eight months climbing up the charts, eventually resulting in a tour spot on Kenny Chesney’s Margaritas & [...]

This article will focus on some artists who either had a very short period of great success or had an extended run of near-success. In other words, I cannot justify an entire article on any of them.

Congrats to Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett for their win in the original song category at last night’s Oscars for “The Weary Kind,” and to Jeff Bridges for his win in the actor in a leading role category for his depiction of the washed-up country songwriter Bad Blake in Crazy Heart.
Brad Paisley redefined the [...]
Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, Ga. is, first and foremost, a listening room. It’s one of the premier rooms in the country for live music, but anyone thinking of starting up a conversation above a whisper will quickly get shushed by one or more attendees. And may God have mercy on your soul if your cell [...]
On Wednesday, Jim posted an interview with Blake Shelton that touched on the singer’s new “Six Pak” release.
Jim prefaced the interview with background information on the collection:
