Josh Turner Live Across America Interview

Posted on by

Josh Turner Interview On Local Fox Station About Live Across America. Josh Turner really has got to be one of my favorite country music singers. From his perfectly baritone voice to his easy to relate to, fun songs, I just never get tired of hearing his music! Added bonus, I ran across this recent interview of Turner, and it turns out that he has got to be one of the most down to earth, cool guys! He’s out and about promoting his current live album, Live Across America, and he stopped by local Los Angeles Fox station to chat with the two anchors earlier this week. They chat about a whole host of interesting topics from his inspirations and who he looks up to, to having his family on tour (His wife plays the keyboard! How cool is that?), to Scotty McCreery, to Turner’s authentic voice! It’s a really, really great interview, and I highly suggest you check it out now! WATCH the Interview with Josh Turner Now.

Radney Foster Offers “Louisiana Blue” To Hurricane Isaac Victims. To help the victims of Hurricane Isaac, Radney Foster has joined The American Red Cross. People can order the new video for “Louisiana Blue” and donate to the cause at the same time. To do so click HERE! “This is the first song I ever wrote with Beth Nielsen Chapman. I had written the chorus and played it for her, and she and I wrote the first verse together. She was so excited about it that she went home that night and wrote the second verse. So it is a true collaboration.” -Foster The song can be found on Foster’s Del Rio Texas Revisited: Unplugged & Lonesome. “I love the way Martie McGuire digs into the opening licks, it just set the tone for the song. We had washboard and accordion in the studio, and there is a great sexy interplay between the fiddle and accordion on the solo. I knew we had it when I saw my wife dancing around the control room.” -Foster

Taylor Swift’s State of Grace Available on iTunes

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Released Her Newest Single “State of Grace” off Her New Album Red. Taylor Swift released her newest single, “State of Grace,” from her upcoming album RED. Premiering just a week before the new release (on October 22), Swift fans get a taste of her new style. “State of Grace” is pretty catchy and has a fun beat. However, I’m starting to get a little worried that Taylor has traded in her country roots for a pop career. Now don’t get me wrong, I like when an artist tries out a new style, but I know some of us country music fans want a reminder of that “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” style we love. Check out Taylor’s new song on iTunes and stay with us as we get ready for the release of Red! Red, Complete Track Listing 1. State Of Grace 2. Red 3. Treacherous 4. I Knew You Were Trouble 5. All Too Well 6. 22 7. I Almost Do 8. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 9. Stay Stay Stay 10. The Last Time 11. Holy Ground 12. Sad Beautiful Tragic 13. The Lucky One 14. Everything Has Changed (Duet with Ed Sheeran) 15. Starlight 16. Begin Again
