Kenny Chesney: “HEMINGWAY’s Whiskey

Posted on by

After almost three years Kenny Chesney will release a new studio album, “HEMINGWAY’s Whiskey on September 28th. Kenny had this to say about the title of his new release, which was named after a Guy Clark track: “When I heard the song, I knew it was the perfect title for the record. I was sitting in my truck and a friend had given me Guy’s album, which had just come out, and it’s a song that talks about living life to its fullest, being a man about your responsibilities and not compromising. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to cut it, and call the album that … because it says everything about the way you live your life, and what life can be if you refuse to buy into limits, which — as someone who’s read all his books — is everything HEMINGWAY’s novels revolved around.” Country Music Photo Gallery

Brad Paisley Underwater

Posted on by

Tonight, at 10pm ET GAC will air Brad Paisley’s Underwater special that documented the struggle to recover in time for an upcoming tour. This special will follow Brad through the damage caused by last months flood in Nashville. It is exactly one month after Brad launched his H2O World Tour in Virginia Beach. It follows Brad through the tragedy of finding his guitars and much of his tour equipment drowned in four feet of water, and through his crew’s amazing rebuild as all of Brad’s staging was replaced in little more than two weeks. “What’s crazy about the tour is that we literally had to do things that we’d never had to do before,” Brad explains. “We usually take three weeks to rehearse something, and the first week is kind of gettin’ everything in line. Second week, you start runnin’ stuff. Third week, you’re goin’, ‘OK, we need this better, we need this better.’” Set your DVR fans or tune in live tonight at 10pm ET on GAC! GAC will also run the special four times throughout the day on Tuesday.Country Music Photo Gallery

Posted on by

Yes, you heard it right all you Blake Shelton fans, he is releasing an additional 6-pack. Blake Shelton delivered the news at the 2010 CMT Music Awards that his next 6-pack will be released on August 10th. This new 6-pack will feature his current single “All About Tonight” as well as a song co-written by fiance Miranda Lambert and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum entitled “Suffocating”. Blake says this of the new but really not so new concept of EP’s, “It does make me feel more creative. It’s ongoing recording, which is a lot of fun for me. I feel like I’m making a mini Greatest Hits every time I put out one of these, ’cause I feel strongly about each and every one of those songs. It’s more of a dynamite in a small package kind of thing.”Country Music Photo Gallery
