Chris Young Reunites With Buddy And Wounded Warrior. Chris Young, through the help of Stars For Stripes and the Minot Exchange, had an opportunity to reunite with Wounded Warrior Scott Lilley and spend some time with Airmen and their families at Minot Air Force Base for a CD signing last week. The special event took place prior to Young’s high-octane show at the North Dakota State Fair later that evening. Lilley, a former member of Minot Air Force Base 5th Security Forces, was seriously wounded in Iraq in the spring of 2007. He accompanied Young on a tour to entertain the troops in 2009 for Great American Country’s TV Special “Stars For Stripes: Wounded Warriors Return.” “It was awesome to see Scott again and always great to be around the brave men and women who serve our country,” says Young. Young proudly serves as a board member of Stars For Stripes, a non-profit organization that provides entertainment to deployed U.S. military forces in remote areas. 2012 is still looking up for Young, in addition to burning up the road with Miranda Lambert and her “On Fire” tour, he recently landed his fifth consecutive #1 single and posted two RIAA certified Gold singles. His newest single, the title track to his recently released album NEON, is currently climbing the charts at country radio.

Carrie Underwood Releases Dramatic Video For Single, “Blown Away”. As was clear from the sneak peak Carrie Underwood released for her new music video last week, “Blown Away” tells quite the dramatic tale. Between her usual powerful vocals and the striking visual elements throughout the video, Underwood proves that she is telling more grown up stories than what she has on her previous albums. Going along with what other country stars are doing, like Miranda Lambert on her latest “Fastest Girl In Town“, Carrie and her creative team took the time to tell a whole story, creating a kind of mini-movie. I wonder if she is interested in branching out into acting too? Watch Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away” Now! [youtube:www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2c9meUp0NY]
