Oh the smallest thing can all the difference, Love is alive, Don't listen to them when they say, You're just a fool, Just a fool, You believe you can change the world. Change, Carrie Underwood
Tim Mcgraw plans to record a duets album with his wife Faith Hill, he says it will happen but not until he fufills his contract with Curb Records. He owes his label one more record before he can leave. Then he is unsure if he will start his own or sign with a different one, but when that happens first on his list is a duets album. The two have had great success with the duets that they have already released such as, Let's Make Love, I Need You and It's Your Love.
"You know, (it's) labels and all these things," McGraw said of the delay. "Once we clear the woods a little bit, we'll (record an album), for sure."
Easton Corbin scored the first number 1 of his career with A Little More Country Than That taking over the top of the Billboard country songs chart for the week ending April 3, while Lady Antebellum regained the honor as the best selling CD in the country with "Need You Now."

They've come and gone, and they were good. Though with every good thing there comes some bad, nothing major just a few awards were undeserving. For now I'll just cover the performaces and the awards recap will follow. The performances for the most part were good, the sound in Somment Centre has never been very good when telecast. We saw Tim Mcgraw return after four years to perform, maybe next year he will be nominated for some.
The show opened with Taylor Swift performing a recycled performance from the AMA's last year. Call my crazy but when you are up for four awards and the big on of the night, and you are opening the show shouldn't you give a fresh performance to your so called peers. She threw a chair from a platform, slid down a pole, sang while on her knees and banging her head around, all the while sounding not so good live, but we have come accustom to that. Ladies and Gents your Entertainer and Female Vocalist of the year. As Faith Hill would say "WHAT"!!! She also performed "Fifteen" up in the grand stands surrounded by a sea of teens who were to my ears delight singing louder then her.
The show quickly recovered with one of the best monologues I've seen since Billy Crystal on the Oscars. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are a great comedic combination of class and whit. The video speaks for it's self. The parodies written by Brad accompanied by Carrie's voice made for the best part of their co-hosting, I think they may have a lock on this job for a while. The videos speak for themselves.
Carrie's Swine Flu parody to tune of LeAnee Rimes "Blue" makes you wish she would cover it.
Standout performers that you should check out included;
Daughtry featuring Vince Gill, I'm not sure if this is an attempt at a cross over or if it is just the title of the song accompanied by Vince that got them on the show "Tennesse", but they were good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAH3uPH9Qo0
Zac Brown Band covering Charlie Daniels "Devil Went Down To Georgia". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcauKlJCwvo
Sugarland, This may be an attempt to match "Stay", regardless they were good, but I don't think it will be as big of a hit but it is nice song, "Keep You". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKF_BwrE_HE
The biggest and most talked about performance came from the co-host Carrie Underwood, with her newly 11th, #1 single "Cowboy Casanova" she stepped out of her comfort zone and put on a show stopping production. It mimicked the video, with Underwood strutting her stuff and showing off her moves, sass and gams. As always the vocals from Underwood were flawless. The following day that performance was all the talk all over the net.
Keith Urban has assembled a slue of top notch acts, including himself, Brad Paisley, Faith Hill and Vince Gill for a concert that will raise money for the Country Music Hall of Fame.
"The All For The Hall" show, is to be held at Nashville’s Sommet Center on Oct. 13, will also feature Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town and Taylor Swift with other stars likely to be added. Tickets will be as little as $25 apiece, with most,if not all, of the money to be donated to the Hall of Fame.
Urban said during the official announcement Monday morning at the Hall’s Ford Theater accompanied by Vince Gill, the creator of "All For The Hall". "Right now particularly it’s hard times for a lot of folks in this country — in some cases, some of the hardest they’ve ever known in their generation. So we tried to make this as affordable as we possibly could. We want it full." Urban said.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. CT through Ticketmaster outlets and through the Sommet Center box office.
If you have never visited the Country Music Hall Of Fame, I suggest you do. I went this past June, and it was amazing, the nostalgia, and historic information is intriguing.
My hopes for some additional acts include, Carrie Underwood, Martina Mcbride, Sugarland, and Montogomery Gentry, maybe even throw in some Gloriana for the future of country!
