Toby Keith – Bullets in the Gun – Video

Posted on by

Toby Keith gets dangerous in his new video for Bullets in the Gun. Toby Keith takes on the role of Desperado and a Ladies Man all at once in his new video “Bullets in the Gun”. So far we’re seeing a lot of praise for this new album from Toby, but like we said in our review of Bullets In The Gun, you’re be best off getting the Deluxe Edition, which includes 4 added live tracks from Toby’s appropriately titled “Incognito Bandito” performances.

Live Commercial Free Radio on CMNB?

Posted on by

Opinions needed! Should Country Music News Blog add live commercial-free streaming radio to our site? Country Music News Blog has an interesting opportunity to add a virtual radio station to our site, but we want to know if our readers are interested? Since the birth of our very first site, DHCountryMusic.com (originally Drunken Hillbilly), the team at CMNB has ALWAYS been committed to giving independent artists a fair and equal press platform with their mainstream counterparts. With that in mind, if we move forward and add this station, it would NOT be all top-40 country radio. It would showcase artists who individually opt-in for airplay, covering the wide range of country/americana styles. If implemented, the music player would be embedded on the site in a way that does not obstruct the reader experience. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
