Next year’s “CMT Music Awards” will air live on CBS from Moody Center in Austin, Texas on April 7th.

Lainey Wilson just did a big interview with “Rolling Stone”.  And all she has to say is, “What took ya so long?” They asked about the huge surge in streaming country has had.  She said she doesn’t pay TOO much attention to the raw numbers, but added that “it’s really cool to see what’s happening with country.”  “It’s like everybody, all of a sudden, is wanting a horse and wanting to wear a cowboy hat.  You get on TikTok, and you see these kids wishing that they were country.” She said she thinks that’s pretty cool to see.  Adding, “Welcome to the party, where ya been?”

Darius Rucker’s new album “Carolyn’s Boy” is out today.  It’s inspired by his late mom who raised six kids on her OWN.  Even worse, his dad lived down the street, but was never around. “It was tough growing up without a dad.  I hated it.  I don’t ever want my kids to not know where their dad is or how they can get in touch with him, because I never knew how to get in touch with mine.” Even though Darius and his wife Beth consciously uncoupled three-and-a-half years ago, he is NOT going to be like his dad.  He and his wife have remained “close friends and parenting partners.”  “We’re still a family.  A piece of paper won’t change that.  We’re still a family, and that’s because Beth is awesome.  She knows it’s the best for the kids, and she’s a great human being.”

It’s almost that time of year again for Tracy Lawrence’s 18th annual Turkey Fry benefit concert.  This time he’ll be joined by Lee Brice and Priscilla Block on November 21st at Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville.  The event hopes to match last year’s record of 1,200 turkeys fried.  All proceeds go to the Nashville Rescue Mission, which aids the hungry and homeless.  Tickets go on sale today.
