Jason Aldean was recently interviewed by Wood on “Taste of Country Mornings” and he asked him what it was like being on the set of “College Gameday”. And Jason said that he’d never been on it, which surprised Wood who was sure he did “Guest Pick ‘Em” once. Jason then said, “We’re always on tour at that point in the year . . . So, I’ve never had a chance to go and do it. And I’ve seen all my buddies up there, Luke [Combs] and Kane [Brown] . . . and I’m like, man, I’ve got to get on there and do this at some point.” And his reasoning for wanting to get on the show is simple . . . He said, “Cause I think they’re terrible pickers, and I think I can do way better.”
Songs that never got to #1, even though they were a massive success
1. “Amarillo by Morning” by George Strait. It only reached #4 in America.
2. “Fancy” by Reba McEntire. Reba’s most iconic song only peaked at #8 in 1991.
3. “Crazy” by Patsy Cline. It reached #2 on the Country chart
4. “Independence Day” by Martina McBride only got as high as #12 in 1994.
5. “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” by Shania Twain.
6. “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” by Big & Rich. Couldn’t even crack the top 10 in 2004.
7. “Troubadour” by George Strait.
If you want an up-close and personal look at Jelly Roll’s mouth, check out the video his dentist posted. He got veneers this year, so he’s got a new set of pearly whites . . . plus a few diamond-studded ones in there. Hopefully he brushes those things twice a day, because he does love his sweets. He requested some special donuts while he was in Vegas for his show with Morgan Wallen last week. Pastry guru Alexandra Lourdes posted a video of them being made, and being delivered to him backstage.
There are some acts who ANY musician WOULD NOT HESITATE to jump onstage with. The band Creed is NOT one of them. But Hardy is apparently secure enough in his career that he was not only willing to join Scott Stapp and the boys onstage during a recent show in Nashville . . . but he even PERFORMED with them. Hardy joined them for their song “Weathered”. Scott told the crowd, “It wouldn’t be a Nashville show unless we had some surprises, right? I’m gonna say this because it sounds funny . . . me and this next artist slipped into each other’s DMs and we started talking . . .”We became kinda friends. I said, ‘Hey man, when you’re in town, wanna jam?’ He said, ‘Man, I would love to.'”
