The ride will start at the Harley-Davidson of Columbia, wind through the back roads of Tennessee, and end in downtown Nashville. “The back roads are great.

Bentley has opted to expand the benefit to include other cities besides Nashville, like Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Seattle and others. All the proceeds raised in each are donated to the children’s hospital in that area. For Nashville this hospital is the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

Blake Shelton Footloose Video

Posted on by

Check Out Blake Shelton’s Rendition of the Classic Footloose! Word on the street has it that when Blake Shelton was approached to get involved with the new Footloose project, he was asked to contribute a song of his own, and Blake responded he would only participate if he could have the title track. I have to say, I sure am glad he put his foot (no pun intended) down about that! Blake’s rendition of the original Footloose song is just as firey and fun as the original, but with a little extra Shelton-esque umph added to the mix. This version definitely has a little more twang than original, and it’s definitely an improvement. See if you like Shelton’s version as much as I do. Watch the Video Here!

Dolly Parton Makes Joyful Noise

Posted on by

Dolly Parton Stars in Upcoming Film, Joyful Noise! Dolly Parton will be returning to the silver screen in January of 2012 with the release of upcoming comedy, Joyful Noise, in which she stars alongside Queen Latifa. The storyline follows a small town gospel choir that is trying to make it to a national competition, and the only way they can make it is if semi-rivals played by Parton and Latifa can learn to work together. Queen Latifa is known for her comic timing, and Dolly definitely puts her classic whip-smart southern humor to good use! I never would have thought it, but it looks like Latifa and Parton make an excellent pairing as their feud provides a great base for some really comical scenes. This may not be a ground breaking film, but it certainly looks like its going to be pretty entertaining! Check out the trailer here!

Toby Keith Red Solo Cup

Posted on by

Toby Keith Releases Video for Hilarious and Silly Song, Red Solo Cup Toby Keith has released the video for his track, “Red Solo Cup“. This extremely silly song is an ode to the always helpful party drink receptacle, THE red solo cup. The video follows Keith around at a party as he points out the positives and negatives of the red solo cup as he demonstrates his obviously close relationship and bond with this plastic cup. He even points out why the red solo cup is preferable to the less popular blue and yellow solo cups! I think my favorite part of the video might be the cameos, especially that of Princess Leia. That’s right, I said Princess Leia. Guess you’re just going to have to watch the video to see what in the world I’m talking about. Enjoy (I know you will.) Check Out the Video Now!

Lauren Alaina Releases Debut Album and Choose Second Single! Lauren Alaina‘s album, Wildflower releases Tuesday, October 11th! This is the American Idol runner-up’s much anticipated first album, and the creation of it seems to have been a great experience for Lauren. “Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of releasing my own album. I can’t believe the day is here! I am excited to share it with the fans who have been supporting me throughout my journey. I hope they enjoy listening to this record as much as I did making it.” -Lauren Alaina The album features Alaina’s debut single, “Like My Mother Does” as it’s title track as well as the second single she has chosen to release, “Georgia Peaches“. The second single will impact radio on October 24th. As a Georgia native, this song has special meaning for Lauren. It seems Lauren is apt to choose music she can connect to directly since her first single illustrated her relationship with and respect for her mother, and this second one relates to her roots. This shows promise for such a young talent, in that she has already proven herself capable of choosing music that represents her as an individual instead of a marketing gimmick. Alaina will be getting the word out about her release with several appearances and performances which are listed below. Most notably, she will be performing at The Grand Ole Opry on October 22nd which will be aired on Opry Live on GAC at 8pm ET. Stay tuned for a detailed review of Wildflower!

This album is the fourth release off of her own Dolly Records. The track is titled “The Sacrifice“, and deals with themes of working hard to fulfill ones hopes and dreams and what that can cost someone. “’The Sacrifice’ is another song that is just so, totally, me.

But if we’re not willing to make that sacrifice usually we don’t see those dreams come true.” -Dolly Parton Dolly is currently in the second leg of her U.S. tour dates, which kicked-off Friday, October 7th in Cedar Park, TX and will wrap in Florida on October 18th.
