If you have fans, you have everything. Yes, record labels and money and relationships help but this is a story about how the fans matter the most. Take this guy, Jaron Lowenstein . Never heard of him? Me neither, until I heard some radio people talking (OK, Facebooking) about his new song, ...

I've loved Miranda Lambert 's music since day one so this kind of shocked me: She told The Tennessean newspaper that her latest album is the one she would hand out to her heroes. She said, "The fact that Patty Loveless knows my music at all, that made me really pumped. This is the first time ...

Let me preface this entry by saying that I love, love, love country concerts. I do wish, however, that an artist would ask me for advice just once on making the perfect set list. I know these artists have to do their big hits -- the ones everybody is paying big bucks to hear. And I know they ...

If you've ever wondered what performing on the CMA Awards would do for your career, I have three words: triple digit spikes. That's what happened for Lady Antebellum , Sugarland and Jamey Johnson . After winning two awards and performing the snowy "Need You Now," Lady Antebellum had their ...

Some of my earliest memories of really connecting with music come from a Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle Vol. 1: The 20 Greatest Hits CD that my mother owned, and usually it started with a guitar lick. The riffs that John Fogerty wrote with Creedence were so iconic and natural that I ...

Grammy nominations are right around the corner but their hard and fast rules are making it impossible for some major artists to take home a trophy come Jan. 31. Like Lady Gaga , who has been on top of the pop world and a household name but didn't make the cut this year because her "Just Dance" ...

I'm not an uber-traditional Catholic. I don't carry a rosary everywhere I go. I still eat meat on Fridays. And when my friend brings home a new Cadillac Escalade, I will definitely covet my neighbor's goods. But then I hear a song like Lee Ann Womack's "There Is a God," and I am so moved, I ...

Before I got this gig as a country music writer, I did some time writing greeting cards. It was some of the best money I ever made. The American Greetings company would send me blank white cards, I'd draw pictures and come up with words and send them back in. For every idea they bought, I made ...

The song that was in Kristian Bush's head all day on Tuesday (Nov. 17)? Miley Cyrus ' "Party in the U.S.A." He calls it the most genius song in a career for a woman who is growing up. "Miley's 15 being 16," he said in this short but jam-packed interview at Chicago radio station WUSN (US99). ...

That's what he said. "I couldn't go pop with an ass full of firecrackers," were the exact words Tim McGraw used in an interview on the Dan Patrick Show . They talk incessantly about sports , Peyton Manning, the potential of coaching at LSU and what his "man cave" looks like. (Recliner and ...

With a little bit of downtime at the office this week, I finally had a chance to read Beautiful Mess , an autobiography by Diamond Rio that was released a few months ago. It's a quick read and an insightful look at all six guys in the award-winning band, famous for hits like "Meet in the ...
