Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray up close with AOL

Miley Cyrus teams up with father Billy Ray Cyrus for a very special AOL Session performance Miley Cyrus is killing the billboard charts with her current hit single “The Climb” and at the same time she’s dominating the box office with her newly released film “Hannah Montana: The Movie“, and now in a special performance at AOL Sessions, Miley demonstrates that she’s more than just a tweener pop icon. Miley slips out of the manufactured rockstar  image and lets a truly special and authentic performance shine through. I haven’t ever been a Miley fan myself, perhaps because having two young daughters has just led me to become supersaturated with her material, so this performance caught me off guard in such a surprisingly good way. Tell me what you think? Has Miley channeled a little Stevie Nicks on the stage or what? Catch more of this Miley Cyrus AOL Session now!Country Music Photo Gallery

Brad Paisley says Good Morning America – Country Style

Brad Paisley announced that he will be the first country artist to play Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series this year at the new location of Central Park in New York City. The performance will help boost interest in the album launch for his upcoming June 30 release, American Saturday Night. This week Paisley is in studio putting the finishing touches on this upcoming album but will spend a very American Saturday Night at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner, as the guest of CBS News’ Chief White House Correspondent Bob Schieffer. Paisley and Schieffer met in the Fall of 2008 at a special Grand Ole Opry show at the Ryman Auditorium during Belmont University’s Debate ’08. Several Hollywood celebrities and Washington elite, including President Barack Obama, are scheduled to attend the dinner. Paisley’s current single, “Then,” is number six on the singles charts after only seven weeks at radio. This is the fastest rising single of Paisley’s illustrious career – so far.
