The video shows Campbell’s ex-love interest haunting him everywhere he goes. He goes to town and sees “her” multiple times walking down the sidewalk and multiple times while he tries to get a cup of Joe! I really like this song and just like the title, I can’t get it “outta my head!” “Outta My Head” is the first single to his highly anticipated sophomore album. You can expect the album to drop in early 2013! Until then, sit back, relax and watch “Outta My Head.”

Rascal Flatts On Chelsea Lately

Posted on by

Rascall Flatts Will Be on E!’s Chelsea Lately & NBC’s The Voice! Rascal Flatts will be on Chelsea Lately tonight, November 19! E!’s comical and sometimes controversial Chelsea Handler gives an interview unlike most which makes her segments all the more better. Her episodes that feature country stars always give me a laugh as the stars usually can barely answer a question from laughing themselves! The group will also appear on NBC’s The Voice tomorrow, November 20. Last week, Jason Aldean made his first performance on the show with “The Only Way I Know.” He had some help from two of the shows contestants, so I assume Rascal Flatts will do something along the same lines! Both of these appearances are to celebrate the release of their DVD project, RASCAL FLATTS: ALL ACCESS & UNCOVERED. The DVD is available starting today. It debuted in movie theaters across the country in a one-night-only event in conjunction with their CHANGED album release this past April. The DVD includes exclusive performance footage of some of their biggest hits and new music from CHANGED, as well as in-depth personal interviews from the road and inside the home studio of Jay DeMarcus where the album was recorded. Rascal Flatts will extend the Farmers Insurance Presents “Changed Tour” into 2013, kicking off a winter leg on January 10 with special guests The Band Perry.

For over 25 years, this charity has given the joy of Christmas to thousands of Middle Tennessee children that might not otherwise experience it. In December, local businesses, volunteers, celebrities, today’s top recording artists, and their bus drivers set aside two days from their busy schedules to hold a party for over 400 Middle Tennessee children. In additional to meeting many celebrities and Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus, with a special tour of celebrity touring buses, each child is also given spending money to purchase Christmas gifts and experience the joy of giving during the holidays, as well as a brand new winter coat. For more information on the Christmas4Kids organization, this special concert and bus tour, please visit www.christmas4kids.org.

Keith Urban, Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch Are Hitting The Road Together In 2013. This morning, Keith Urban announced his 2013 Tour and the dates of the first leg! He did it in a not so usual way, but it was probably the best way he could have ever done it! With his tour mates, Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch, he released a video to get the word out. Let me tell you, IT IS HILARIOUS! It shows the artists jammed into one car, road trippin’ it and singing songs. My favorite part is probably when they give a shout out to Jason Aldean with “1994,” a song from his latest album Night Train. The tour will be making many stops including Cincinnati, Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Baltimore, Dallas, Tampa and many more! The video is below, so y’all get ready to watch and laugh!
