Lee Ann Womack is giving away 5 copies of her newly released album “Call Me Crazy” to our awesome CMNB readers! Lee Ann Womack is climbing the charts with her new hit single “Last Call” off her October release “Call Me Crazy”, and fans are going crazy over the album. The album has already achieved industry accolades such as a Grammy nomination for Best Female Country Performance for “Last Call”, ACM nomination for Top Female Vocalist, and AOL’s Country Record of the Year for 2008. And of course, Lee Ann is taking the success in stride. “I’m so fired up to be back doing what I feel like I was born to do, which is making country music,” said Womack. “The time I spent writing, looking for songs, and meeting with Tony felt so effortless and natural.” Four of the twelve tracks are co-written by Womack and fans will discover two other very well-known male voices accompanying the songstress, including Keith Urban and George Strait. Last time Womack and Strait collaborated was for “Good News, Bad News”, which earned them a Country Music Association award for “Musical Event of the Year.” Lee Ann’s humble nature shows through when she credits the joy of this album to the process of making it: “One of my favorite things when making a record is working with some of the best singers and musicians in the world…it was so fun to have some of them work on this project.” Pay a visit to  Lee Ann Womack’s official  website at http://www.leeannwomack.com/ to view her video for “Last Call” and to learn more about upcoming appearances, projects and her latest news.

Single In The City Nashville in Pictures

Kristine from The Tennesean shares her pictures from last night’s Single in the City event with country music star Jake Owen. Jake Owen was in fine form last night as he wooed the single ladies in Nashville’s Single In the City benefit gala. Guests were treated to music, and cocktails while they got the opportunity to bid in an auction for a date with some of Nashville’s hottest singles.  So far there’s no word on how much a date with Jake auctioned for, but let me tell you I’d guess the ladies were pretty competitive for that one!

Josh Turner Expects Baby Number Two

Josh Turner, wife Jennifer, and son Hampton are preparing themselves for baby number two! Josh Turner was having a rough day when wife Jennifer turned it all around by announcing that she was pregnant with baby #2. Josh’s firstborn is excited to be a big brother and as for the nerves of our expectant father: “I do feel more confident,” he told People. “Jennifer talked about little things she’s worried about, but I’m like, ‘Hey we’ve been through this before.’ The fundamental things you freaked out about with the first child, I don’t think you’ll freak out about them as much. I’m more prepared for those newborn months, the crying and trying to figure out what’s wrong.” read more… Congratulations go out from CMNB to the Turner family!Country Music Photo Gallery

Wynonna Thoughts on American Idol

Wynonna gives advice for American Idol hopefuls. Wynonna comes from the school of thought that says if you want something bad enough, you need to work hard for it. So when asked about American Idol, she urges kids to build their talent, and their circle of support first: “A lot of these people don’t have experience and they’re not ready,” she continued. “When they’re successful, they’re like ‘Oh, crap, what do I do now?’ So they hire a bunch of people who cost them everything. So develop it now, start getting a work ethic, schedule your priorities. Focus, focus, focus on what it is you really wanna do.” read more… Excellent advice Wy!Country Music Photo Gallery
