The Wolf 95.5 usually throws a few ladies into the Man Jam, but this year’s invite to Kellie Pickler has stirred up some dirt.
Here’s a few recent comments from Texas Music website: Galleywinter.com:
Sticker, “ I say we all throw some money in a pot and put up a bounty for who ever slaps kellie pickler on stage for being a dumbass. Who’s in?” Jplace, “ I’m in for that…her record sucks…nope didn’t buy it, gotta love the internet and torrent files…..” Whitney 04, “I would love to see Stoney say something to her about her ditzy-ness.” gruene_eyed_girl, “If she interferes with Stoney’s set…I may ping her in the head with my red high heel!”
Them’s fightin words. You can’t dispute the entire lineup :

Why is it always about size with guys? I’m sorry to say that Troy Gentry, of Montgomery Gentry, has gotten caught in the act of exaggerating.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge on Monday morning in Duluth, Minnesota. Charged with falsely recording a prized bear he killed as a wild one, he narrowly escaped a felony charge of transporting an illegally registered animal. Troy purchased the bear from Lee Greenly and together they planned the event hunt down to the story they would tell when registering the find.
Shame shame.
We all want to tame the wild and brag about it, but unfortunately the wildlife laws in Minnesota do not support embellishing the truth. Exceptions made for Garrison Keeler who claims all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
Troy is a hell raiser who sure knows how to keep things exciting. As part of the plea he lost his right to game in Minnesota for the next 5 years, so he’ll just have to take his antics elsewhere.
I barely knew they were married…but after four months of matrimonial bliss, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson are getting a divorce. They filed on Monday. Do we really care that much about it? Tammy Wynette would be unmoved by their modern day take on splitting up, but that’s beside the point.
To be honest, I’m more interested in the unlikely combination of Kid Rock and Jerry Lee Lewis remaking “Honky Tonk Woman”.
Gram Parsons claims to be responsible for arranging the Rolling Stones‘ country version of their 1969 hit, called “Country Honk”, though Richards and Jagger disagree. Whoever did it, probably did not foresee Jerry Lee and Tommy Lee…wait… I mean Kid Rock jamming out together like this. Take a gander, it is quite a behind the scenes. check it out on Yallwire
And I guess we should dedicate it to the Kid R-O-C-K.
May you find your way to the next honky tonk.
Just don’t get the blues bout losing your woman.
Tomorrow: Kingsport, TN….
Alison, or I should say, Mrs. Krauss will help Appalachia start Christmassing tomorrow by participating in this year’s Santa Train. She’ll help take 15 tons of toys and gifts to 14 cities throughout Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky.
Since its humble WWII beginning, many have counted on the Santa Train to come along the Saturday before Thanksgiving. 64 years and the train’s still reaching thousands of rural folks with, what is for some, the only holiday cheer the year can afford.
A great way to start the season is giving thanks by giving to others. Alison is of course honored to share in the trek, as she holds a special place in her heart for the mountain natives.
I didn’t have to bribe Time Magazine’s music critic’s to remember some of the world’s most influential albums hail from the Mighty South.
They’ve put together a list of the 100 most influential albums of all time, including Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind…alright, definately a classic.
I’m just glad they held WILLIE, DOLLY, and JOHNNY in their hearts. Or I’d a had a few words with em.
To see the entire list visit Time Magazine Decides Who’s Awesome.
Though Montgomery Gentry’s Troy Gentry admits that times are changing, Eddie Montgomery says he, “ain’t gonna never grow up.”
The new album titled, Some People Change, is misleading when it comes to stubborn ol Eddie, whose gonna be raising hell till the cows come home.
“….I mean they put my (butt) in a rest home…I’m gonna be trying to get a bar in there….I’ll sleep when I die!” Let’s hope they keep doing what they’re doing, reminds me….What else are you gonna talk about when you’re 80? Better make sure you’re livin it up now.
Thanks, Eddie, for that lil reminder.
Faith Hill’s reaction at the 2006 CMA’s, the other night, after finding out she did not win female vocal artist of the year was memorable.
As the nominations were being read by Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter, actress Miley Cyrus, Hill was laughing as she appeared to be talking to someone out of the camera’s range. When Carrie Underwood’s name was called as the winner, Hill’s facial expression quickly changed before she marched out of camera range. The motives for Hill’s reaction were unclear.Faith commented on her website with the following statement. “The idea that I would act disrespectful towards a fellow musician is unimaginable for me. For this to become the focus of attention given the talent gathered is utterly ridiculous. Carrie is a talented and a deserving Female Vocalist of the Year.”

One could say that Brooks & Dunn hosting and winning the most awards is less than proper, but we all know and “Believe” these guys deserve to reap all the awards they can muster under their “Neon Moon”.
Nashville’s 40th annual CMA’s drew quite a crowd and entertained plenty with memorable performances by Little Big Town and Sheryl Crow.
Kris Kristofferson honored and inducted our favorite ol’ Texan George Strait into the Country Music Hall of Fame after he sang his hit, “Give It Away.” He won’t be giving away his place in the Hall, but there were a few acts last night that may be following his lead here next year.
With an impressive showing of talent and style, it seems we ain’t in the Boondocks anymore, Toto.
Nashville continues to two step its way into hearts of fans everywhere. As Sugarland likes to put it, “Enjoy the Ride.”
Broadcasting live tonight on ABC, from Nashville’s Gaylord Entertainment Center, Brooks & Dunn host the 40th Annual CMA’s. They will perform their hit “Building Bridges” as well as stand for 6 award categories, claiming the most nominations along with Brad Paisley. Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, and Carrie Underwood are up for four nominations each, though Mr. Urban will be missed at tonight’s event. His primary focus is obviously in recovery rather than raking in the awards.
Plenty of artists are eagerly awaiting the ceremony. Dolly Parton and Rascal Flatts are nominated thrice each, with some of my personal favorites following with two nominations each: Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson, Sugarland, Little Big Town, Big & Rich, and Miranda Lambert.
The stage is lit and carpets are rolled out, anticipating the arrival of the rhinestone studded cast of country music’s finest performers.
Vince Gill will perform “What you Give Away” with Sheryl Crow and his wife and child, Amy Grant and Jenny Gill. Other highlights include performances by Gretchen Wilson and John Rich, The Wreckers, Jason Aldean, and Martina McBride. Presenters include Barbara Mandrell, LeeAnn Rimes and Richie Sambora.
George Strait will be honored and inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Harold Bradley and Sonny James. Sugarland started the festivities earlier today by performing on “Good Morning America” with Jon Bon Jovi. If that is any indication, tonight’s ceremony should be full of surprises.
