Good Afternoon, everyone!! I’m here to start the new year off right with a look at my personal highlight and lowlights of ‘08. Feel free to share yours, too!
As I mentioned before, I loved Miranda Lambert’s increased success this year. It’s been a long time coming.
LeAnn Rimes releasing ‟What I Cannot Change‟ as a single.
Brad Paisley and Keith Urban teaming up for ‟Start a Band‟.
LeAnn Womack’s single ‟Last Call‟.
Jessica Andrews getting signed to a new label and putting out a single to country radio again.
Brad Paisley getting a taste of his own medicine when Jewel played a trick on him.
Tim McGraw letting Curb and his fans know he is not happy with the latest Greatest Hits release.
Carrie Underwood being invited to the grand Ole Opry.
Getting the chance to chat with Can You Duet? contestants and new Big Machine recording artists Kate and Kacey Coppola via MySpace.
Dolly’s ‟Jesus and Gravity‟.
Discovering the talent that is Minnie Murphy.
Sugarland’s ‟Love on the Inside‟ CD
Lowlights:
Nashville Star and the fact it had very little to do with Country this year.
A former member suing Sugarland, claiming she’s owed money from the continued success.
The passing of Eddie Arnold.
Gone Country. Hmm... John Rich isn’t doing too well this year, is he?
Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus performing on the CMT awards.
The continued delays of CDs by Jo Dee Messina, Danielle Peck and others this year. (At least Danielle finally got a digital release...)
The end of the Wreckers.
Mindy McCreedy’s continued troubles.
Jessica Simpson crossing over to Country.

More Minnie....
As I promised yesterday, I wanted to share a few quick thoughts about a song I was recently able to here. It's called "Take Me to Texas" and is going to be Minnie Murphy's debut single. She's the half-sister of Jamie O'neal and is quite a talent in her own right.
Her voice has a very sweet tone to it and has a very old-school sound. The song's a classic slow love song with a very traditional sound to it. I can definitely picture the song being played in a honky tonk somewhere. If there's any justice in radio, this is going to end up as a hit. Keep on the look out for a release date and in the meantime, check out this video. It's a performance of a song called "Did It Look Like Love" from a writer's night at the Blackbird Cafe.
In other news, I just read that Craig Morgan has been invited to become the latest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Congrats to him and I'll be looking forward to seeing who's going to be involved in his induction. If GAC follows their pattern, we should be getting a "Road to the Opry" special and his induction aired on the channel. Well, that's about it. Take care and I'll see y'all next time!
