Montgomery Gentry Releases EP

Posted on by

Montgomery Gentry Releases New EP, Friends and Family. Montgomery Gentry has released their EP, Friends and Family. It consists of four tracks, including their current single, “I’ll Keep The Kids.” “I’ll Keep The Kids,” is a very emotional and honest song that unfortunately many will, and already have, relate to. It speaks of the struggles of a nasty divorce and how people can get greedy and not realize what is important in life. “Ain’t Out of the Woods Yet” was also released on Colt Ford’s album, Declaration of Independence. Also on the EP is “Where I Come From” (remix featuring Colt Ford) and “Good Ol’ Boys.”

Hayden Panettiere to Release A Country Music Album

Posted on by

Hayden Panettiere Hopes to Record Full Length Country Music Album. Hayden Panettiere is currently starring alongside Connie Britton on ABC’s hit new drama, Nashville, as the young, conniving and emotionally damaged pop country singer we love to hate, Juliette Barnes. So far, she’s already had to sing a couple of times for the role, and it looks like she wants to do a lot more of it! Hayden recently shared with US Weekly that she’d love to record a full country record! “I recorded an album when I was younger, and I always said that if I was going to go back to music, I would do country. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.” -Hayden Panettiere Like many young starlets, Hayden already has a background in music/recording in addition to her acting chops with credits on Disney soundtracks like Ice Princess and Disney Girlz Rock. She even released her own pop single in 2008 titled “Wake Up Call“. It’s super poppy stuff, but based on her performance on Nashville, I think Hayden could offer up a pretty decent country album. You can actually purchase tracks from Nashville via iTunes!

Garth Brooks Inducted Into Country Music Hall of Fame by George Strait and More. Sunday, October 21st, Garth Brooks was officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and some very iconic artists had some very kind words to share! According to The Tennessean, George Strait and Bob Seger had a little something to say about the country music artist! “I think passion best describes him. He’s got it. You see it when he sings on TV or at concerts … I remember hearing about him on stage swinging on ropes and throwing things, and I said, ‘This is country music. Can you do that?’ He blew it up, man. Yes he could do that. And you can see it today in all the young acts that were influenced by you. It’s amazing.” – George Strait “What I admire about Garth is his passion, he’s just never afraid to be passionate. I also love the fact that with his enormous success, his historic success, he’s still a really good guy. He wears it well.” – Bob Seger James Taylor was also in attendance and along with Robert Bailey, Vicki Hampton and Trisha Yearwood sang a rendition of Brooks’ hit “The River“. What a special performance that must have been! That wasn’t the only one though, George Strait also shared a song by singing “Much Too Young to Feel This Damn Old“. 2012 Medallion Ceremony Highlight Reel!
