Ep.461 - CMA Fest 2011 - Nashville, TN After receiving a big ole fat "declined" email in response to my Bonnaroo media application, I had to think long and hard about shelling out $300 to sweat it out on the farm without the luxuries of the press area. Since CMA Fest is always scheduled for the same weekend, I decided it would be best to stay in town and see what goes down for the Country music fans. After all, it was CMA [...]
MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Kelley released his three-song EP, which includes his current single "Georgia Clay."

I love these Ryman shows where relatively new Nashville-developed bands that have struck success get to play in front of their "hometown" fans. The vibe felt a lot like the Miranda Lambert show I went to last year - lots of industry folk and family and friends of the band in the audience. I saw Jake Owen, Dierks Bentley, Mallary Hope, and Blair Garner (host of the nationally syndicated Country radio show "After MidNite") in the crowd, and I know there were many more. Dierks Bentley in the Audience [...]

Pearl Snaps I: Enlightenment.zip 85MB I'm supposed to be on hiatus, but I couldn't not share these great tunes with you. What originally started as a tribute to new alt-country/folk songs (hence "pearl snaps") turned into a 4-mix showcase of the latest (and some oldies too) great songs of several genres you should tap your feet to. Keep what you know of the Age of Enlightenment in the back of your mind—it has nothing to do with the concept of this installment of Pearl Snaps [...]

Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley debuted these new photos of their newly adopted baby, Naleigh on her animal rescue website yesterday. People were eager to see the couple's new addition, which caused the site to crash several times. Katherine said that they arrived at the name Naleigh, because it is a combination of her mother's name, Nancy and her sister, Margaret Leigh's names. Naleigh is a special [...]

The annoying blonde, Katherine Heigl , from ' Grey's Anatomy' wants to be the next celeb to join the ' adopt a baby' club. Katherine's big sister Meg was adopted as a baby from Korea . Now she is after a kiddie of her own. Probably because "China babies are so hot right now."

The entire album was written, produced and performed by Kelley. The eCard features 4 streaming songs! "Just Say The Word" WinMedia : QuickTime [...]
Five Assorted Tunes: The Tragically Hip - Fly (from their new album World Container .) "Fly" is one of the songs on which the Hip unfortunately resort to filling in lyrical gaps by singing "That's right", a crutch they're too good to need. It's something that might make the song annoying on repeated listens but so far, it's still one of my favorite songs on the album. First single "In View" is jangly fun. "Family Band" and "Luv"(sic) are also standouts. "The Lonely End Of The [...]
