Kenny Chesney Discusses The Boys of Fall

Posted on by

Kenny Chesney has a few words to say about his latest song, The Boys of Fall. “I’ve been very lucky to have a lot of songs do well” says Kenny Chesney. “And to have a lot of songs touch a lot of people, but I don’t know if I’ve had a song like ‘Boys of Fall,’ ever. When I first heard this song, I knew that there was gonna be a lot of people that heard the lyrics to this song and really be able, not just to relate to it, but they live with it because there are so many lessons that, in life, that you learn on the football field that are very parallel with what happens in everyday life.” Well, if you’re in a small town like us here at CMNB, then it’s easy to see why Kenny’s newest release touches the heart of so many. In these small towns football is a religion and the boys who play are our pastors. Some of these kids most important, life-defining moments will happen on those 100 yards of green. Kenny, Good job on the song. Now get out and tour with it already!

Brad Paisley – Cartoon Artist

Posted on by

Brad Paisley shows his penchant for cartoons in The New Yorker. The New Yorker magazine takes a poke at Brad Paisley’s sense of humor as they publish some cartoon captions Brad submitted years ago. The magazine often runs caption contests looking for the funniest one-liners to match their equally funny sketches, so it’s no surprise they had a few entries on file from none other than country music’s witty wonder. See the submissions on newyorker.com!

The Boys of Fall Lyrics Kenny Chesney When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass/ I’m back in my helmet, cleats and shoulder pads/ Standing in the huddle listening to the call/ Fans going crazy for the boys of fall/ They didn’t let just anybody in that club/ Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood/ To get to wear those game day jerseys down the hall/ Kings of the school man, we’re the boys of fall/ (Chorus:) Well it’s turn and face the Stars and Stripes/ It’s fighting back them butterflies/ It’s call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/ And it’s knocking heads and talking trash/ It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass/ It’s I got your number, I got your back when your back’s against the wall/ You mess with one man you got us all/ The boys of fall/ In little towns like mine that’s all they got/ Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops/ The old men will always think they know it all/ Young girls will dream about the boys of fall/ (Chorus:) Well it’s turn and face the Stars and Stripes/ It’s fighting back them butterflies/ It’s call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/ And it’s knocking heads and talking trash/ It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass/ It’s I got your number, I got your back when your back’s against the wall/ You mess with one man you got us all/ http://www.elyricsworld.com/the_boys_of_fall_lyrics_kenny_chesney.html The boys of fall/ (Chorus:) Well it’s turn and face the Stars and Stripes/ It’s fighting back them butterflies/ It’s call it in the air, alright yes sir we want the ball/ And it’s knocking heads and talking trash/ It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass/ It’s I got your number, I got your back when your back’s against the wall/ You mess with one man you got us all/ The boys of fall/ We’re the boys of fall We’re the boys of fall Cheap Football TicketsCountry Music Photo Gallery

Is Ke$ha Going Country?

Posted on by

Pop star Ke$ha discusses the option of putting out a country album. Pop sensation Ke$ha (much to the dismay of country fans everywhere) has hinted that she may see a Jessica-Simpson-like crossover in her future. In a recent interview with Paper Mag, the starlett cites that that her plans in life may include some country music collabs, if not a whole album and then some. I’m really inspired by country music — my mom wrote country music — and I love Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash,” Ke$ha told Paper Mag. “I think at some point there might be some country collaborations or records in the future. But I’m also really digging being called, like half jokingly, a white girl rapper. I think it’s really funny and I’m going to ride that train for a little bit. Keep ridin that train hon, cause I don’t think there’s room at this station for any of that funny business! Country Music Photo Gallery

Trace Adkins – Cowboy’s Back In Town

Posted on by

Trace Adkins new album, Cowboy’s Back in Town, is almost here! Trace Adkins fans are chomping at the bit to get a taste of his new album “Cowboy’s Back in Town”, and to be honest, so are we! The album releases nationwide on August 17th, but for those who can’t wait, here’s a sneak peek at the making of the video for “This Ain’t No Love Song”. This is the first single off the new album. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_fcNV9XcnU] For the completed video, check out Trace Adkins – This Ain’t No Love Song. This is Trace’s first release after joining Show Dog Universal Records, headed by Toby Keith. The album is vintage Trace Adkins, with songs ranging from those celebrating love, like the tender “Still Love You,” to those showcasing the rowdy side of country living, like the hilarious “Hold My Beer.” Adkins is at the top of his game vocally, and the album shows him re-emerging as a top-flight songwriter, as he penned the title track, “Cowboy’s Back In Town,” with friends Jeff Bates and Kenny Beard, who co-produced along with Michael Knox (Jason Aldean). He is joined by special guests Trailer Choir, whose cool-as-a-breeze vocals add the perfect touch to “Don’t Mind If I Don’t,” a song celebrating love as the perfect excuse to take it easy.

Posted on by

Is there a brewing feud between Miranda Lambert and Laura Bell Bundy? Miranda Lambert would certainly have you think so in the upcoming video for her hit track “Only Prettier”. The video releases exclusively on VEVO August 3rd, and on all other media outlets August 5th. In this piece, Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum‘s Hillary Scott rival against Kellie Pickler and Laura Bell Bundy as opposing 1950’s high school cliques. I for one can’t wait to watch!

John Rich Rocks Out

Posted on by

John Rich talks Gibson guitars, rock and roll, and his new album! In a recent interview with Gibson Guitars, John Rich goes into detail about his new solo album, and where he is at in music today. From citing this as “the most aggressive rock and roll music he’s ever made” to discussing his love of his very special Gibson Hummingbird. I‘ve always been a Gibson guy, going back to watching my Dad play. He had an old Gibson,” Rich said. “As soon as I had enough money to buy a Gibson, I did. I got a vintage Hummingbird and I think I paid like $600 for it and spent another $500 getting it fixed up good enough to play. And on that particular Hummingbird I’ve written over 1,000 songs. That’s my writer guitar – when I sit down to write something serious that’s the guitar I pull out. “I love the tone of the Gibson. It’s got the beef on the bottom but its got that cut too. You know, Martin has a sound that’s more high end, a ringing sound but the Gibson offers more range from low to high. All the music you heard from me and on Big & Rich, acoustically, is always on Gibson guitars. My hands have spent thousands of hours on Gibson guitars because Gibson stands for excellence. Take my new song, the main promotion shot is me looking down the neck of a Gibson guitar and the folks in Nashville put rhinestones all around it for me and carved Muzik Mafia.
