"Next GAC Star" Winners ONE NIGHT RODEO Perform at Digital Rodeo's British Invasion Party During CRS 2011

Covers and Medleys....

So, admittedly, I don't follow the pop scene very much anymore. Haven't in several years now. There are a lot of factors involved in that, but mostly it comes down to the fact country stations like GAC are the only places to really see music as I couldn't even load youtube videos at the time. Plus, radio doesn't exactly play much variety. Lately, however, I have had the chance to see a few videos in the morning when VH1 has their jumpstart programming and got to see Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". Awesome song and powerful video, but that's not what I have to share with you today. See, I found her target exclusive version of 21 and discovered she did a cover of Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now". The cover is from a CMT special and was performed with Darius Rucker. It's definitely different, but I think they did a pretty good job of it. Lady Antebellum seemed to enjoy themselves, anyway...



As an added bonus, I came across another video from the 2009 Grammy awards where Sugarland performed "Stay". After, Adele comes out and she performs her song "Chasing Pavements" with Jennifer. It's really interesting to me how bands from different genres seem to be coming together more. It just goes to show you how universal a good song is. Anyone can relate.

Kenny the Policeman?

Ya’ll may have heard by now that Kenny Chesney is involved in a little bit of a controversy. He recently confiscated a camera from one of his fans at a show in Foxborough. ContryMusicNewsBlog has a great opinion piece up about it that I can’t agree more with. I wish more people in the industry would think the way whiskeychick does.

Don’t get me wrong. I sympathize with artists not wanting unreleased material out there without their approval. They have every right to try and keep that stuff from coming out if they don’t feel its up to par. Still, I think everyone could lighten up a little about concert clips and music videos. Let’s be realistic, here. Artists want the videos seen right? Well, since GAC is the only channel that I know of that features music, concerts and similar programming all day, sometimes we have to let the fans get these videos out by other means so they can be enjoyed. As WhiskeyChick says... free publicity is a good thing. So is the word-of-mouth from your fans.

What do you guys think? Are you with Kenny on this or do you agree with the other side? Write back and let’s talk about it. Take care and I’ll see y’all tomorrow with more.

The McGraw-Hill Family Business.

Well, it looks like Faith is getting in on something lots of celebs (including her husband) have been doing for years: she's going to release a fragrance. She's working with the same company that released Tim's scent a little while back. According to the story announcing it, she's also going to be recording a new album for release next year.

Faith's latest is, of course, the Christmas CD Joy to the World. According to a GAC article, the disc took three years to make. Why the delay? Find out here, as well as information on when you can see a new holiday special she's doing. Before you go, check out this video of Faith performing the Little Drummer Boy



Take care and see you again tomorrow with more country music news and reviews!
