Posted on by

Pistol Annies Are Back In The Studio Recording Second Album! First of all, let me get this out of the way: “EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeK!“. Okay, thanks. Needless to say, I am beyond excited about this news: Pistol Annies are back in the studio, and they are hard at work on their sophmore album! The news leaked via Miranda Lambert‘s twitter yesterday when she tweeted her excitement. Up early. Why? Because I’m excited! Today we start record number 2 for @pistolannies! Can’t wait till y’all hear this stuff! — Miranda Lambert (@Miranda_Lambert) November 26, 2012 This all girl power country trio absolutely rocked it on their first album, Hell On Heels, and I can only imagine that a second one will be above and beyond. Thankfully, they plan on sticking to their guns and keeping the same sound. “We’re not going to come out as a different group. Being around each other a lot, we’ve just written some intense songs.” -Miranda Lambert to The Tennessean I can’t wait to hear these new songs!! In my mind, Miranda, Ashley and Angaleena simply can do no wrong. If you’re excited, let us hear about it in the comments section! While we’re waiting…enjoy the video for “Hell On Heels“!

Watch: Jana Kramer Whiskey Official Video

Posted on by

Watch: Jana Kramer’s Video for Single “Whiskey”! Jana Kramer officially released her video for “Whiskey” about a month ago, and I just can’t get enough of this song! First of all, there’s just somethin’ about Kramer’s voice. She somehow manages to pack in tons of emotion, and she’s got just the right amount of twang hovering around those notes! Secondly, this is just straight up a well written song. I love the turn of the phrase, “should of just called him whiskey”. It conjures up such a vivid imagery, and immediately connects the listener to the lyrics. So yeah, I’m loving the song and I’m loving the video! If you haven’t heard/seen it yet, you need to do it now! Watch below. Jana Kramer: “Whiskey” Video.

Tim McGraw Teams Up with Ne-Yo

Posted on by

Tim McGraw Gets Into His R&B Side with Ne-Yo Collaboration. I don’t know if you heard about this or not, but it looks like Tim McGraw is exploring his R&B side yet again. This time he’s working with Ne-Yo on new single, “She Is” featured on his November 6th album release, R.E.D. (Realizing Every Dream). Even though I expected this to be not the best thing ever, truth is, its not that bad of a song. I actually think McGraw improves on the song…in a big way. So, Tim likes to wear lots of different hats (actor, country, R&B, one half of a power couple)…no biggie. I just hope he isn’t considering a more permanent migration to this genre. Check it out for yourself below. Listen: Tim McGraw Featured On Ne-Yo Track, “She Is“. Remember This: Tim McGraw Sings “Over and Over” with Nelly?

Blake Shelton Christmas Special Airs Next Week December 3rd

Blake Shelton’s “Not So Family Christmas” Special Airs On NBC Next Week, December 3rd! I generally like to wait until after Thanksgiving to get in the Christmas spirit, and tuning in to Blake Shelton‘s Christmas Special on Monday, December 3rd is going to be a great way to kick off this month’s festivities! Since The Voice is going so well for Shelton, it makes complete sense the network would give him a time slot for a Holiday special, and it looks like its gonna be pretty good! The TV holiday show is humorously titled “Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas“, and will feature performances tunes from his recently released Christmas album, “Cheers, Its Christmas” including duets with Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson and (adorably) his mother, Dorothy Shackleford! That already sounds like a great program to me, but there’s more. Comedians Jay Leno and Larry the Cable Guy and The Voice coach Christina Aguilera will making appearances for comedy sketches throughout the show. Check out the previews below and be sure to tune in on Monday, December 3rd at 10pm ET on NBC! Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas Special Preview.
