Singer-songwriter Kip Moore explored his own experiences of growing up in a small Georgia town and working diligently for years to achieve his musical dreams to create his MCA Nashville debut album, Up All Night.

The album poetically captures those unforgettable coming-of-age moments, especially for those longing for a life beyond a small town’s borders, as well as the roller coaster of love and heartbreak at any age. He delivers these honest and deeply personal lyrics with a gravelly voice weathered by life’s detours and disappointments and strengthened by his dreams and unyielding determination.

Love and Theft, an American country music duo, is composed of Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson, both of whom sing lead vocals and play guitar. 

Signed to Lyric Street Records subsidiary Carolwood Records in 2009, Love and Theft made their chart debut in early 2009 with the single "Runaway", which reached the Top 10 on Billboard Hot Country Songs. The band's debut album, World Wide Open, was released on August 25, 2009.

In 2011, Love and Theft moved to RCA Records Nashville and released the single "Angel Eyes", which became their first number 1 single. It and the Top 40 single "Runnin' Out of Air" both appear on their second, self-titled album.

Met with Jason Aldean a few days ago and he was doing ok...just ok, I guess. 

Usually, he's pretty pumped up, but I've now met his mellow side.  They'd booked me to talk with him about his new album (which is AWESOME) but he seemed to want to talk about other things too.  Aldean's been run thru the wringer on all the gossip tv shows and websites, but let me just say this about what I saw...he's humbled, he's apologetic, and I think he's got his priorities straight now.  When you're on top of the world, sometimes it takes a small avalanche to bring you back down to earth...and you can quote me!  

It's good to be the king, says Tracy Lawrence!   His golf team has won 2 years straight....I'd say it's not fair to win your own tournament, but he really is that good...and stacks his team!   And , I'm not complaining...my team came in second in the scramble, shooting an incredible 54 ...that's 18 under par, y'all!   Best part is...he raised over $25,000 for breast cancer research with his Golf For the Cure.   WTG TL!!

Not too late to get your CMA Music Fest tix...4 days of meeting your fave stars and big concerts...all downtown Nashville.   Alan Jackson, Carrie, Brad, Rascal Flatts, Scotty, Rascal Flatts..yep, they'll all be here.   Check it out at cmaworld.com!

Congrats to Brad Keselowski and the gang at Penske Racing with their first win of the season…..well on the way to making the chase…..how bout the bunch from Michael Waltrip Racing….what a day 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th not to shabby Mikey……I thought by now Kasey Kahne would be in the top 5….he’s not even in the top 35 and the only Hendrick driver in the top 10 is Jr……but it’s early…..Greg Biffle still moving towards being the only champ in all three series…..can he do it?......well it’s off to sunny California, green flag just after 3 with DW and the boys

Congrats to Tony Stewart, first win of the season for the champ and first career win at Vegas.....only two tracks left where he hasn't won...Darlington and Kentucky....pretty incredible…..Jimmie Johnson a strong second and for the third time in three races Greg Biffle came in third and is the current point leader……

Dale Jr looked strong early and did you hear what Junior is collecting……..wrecked race cars………he stores them up on his estate near his old west town………..the last one he picked up was the car Juan Pablo slammed into the jet blower down in Daytona………should make an interesting museum someday!

Trace Adkins is touring some smaller theaters this summer so he can get up close and personal with his fans...to do a little story-telling.   He's the best at it since Johnny Cash.  Anyway, he'll tell a few stories and crack a few jokes, I'm sure, but it's not gonna be the same old concert you've come to expect.  See if he's coming to your town at traceadkins.com

Well, well, well...Jakey dared the devil and it jumped back and bit 'im.    Jake Owen kinda' got into the country biz years ago while he was recovering from a wakeboard accident and started writing songs.   Now, he'll have a little more time to work on those songs...

since he's having to cancel his tour dates to recover from a snowboarding accident in Crested Butte.   Maybe we can call him "Snowy Butte" now...ok, a little mean, but he's taking it all in stride.   All the canceled dates are already being rescheduled..get well, daredevil!  

First congrats to Kasey....we new it would happen and it did....good guy with a lot to look forward to next year with Rick Hendrick.....now....wow...the most exciting last race in NASCAR history......it could be....who will it be....will Carl do a double flip.....will Smoke do some Florida fence climbing.....it all comes to an end with an exciting conclusion Sunday......I'm taking Tony.....PS
