Little Big Town is having quite the 2012 and if you ask me, the success is long overdue.  It's hard to hold back a group with such great vocal harmony....eventually they will shine as they are doing now.  It's all about finding the hit single, which the group did with "Pontoon."  Little Big Town's next single ( coming to radio soon) is the title track to their latest album...."Torna

Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer are officially country music's newest couple. The 'Kick It in the Sticks' singer confessed Friday morning that he and the actress/singer are an item, gushing, "I'm a very, very happy man."

One of the best new songs, in my opinion, that will hopefully be played on WYRK soon is by Tyler Farr, and it’s called “Hello Goodbye.”  Twice a month, WYRK gets new discs of potential radio singles, and Tyler’s song popped up on one of the most recent ones.

It's been widely speculated that Keith Urban will join a completely overhauled version of 'American Idol' next season -- and with official word that the Australian superstar has left the his home country's version of 'The Voice,' there is more fuel to the fire that the 'For You' singer could likely become a reality television star stateside.

It's official! Carrie Underwood and Chris Young are sexy. In fact, they're the sexiest. The pair beat out eighteen other country singers -- 9 females and 9 males -- in a recent Taste of Country poll, with Underwood running away with the title with over 41 percent of votes. It was a little closer on the male side, as Young (26 percent) was followed closely by Trace Adkins and Luke Bryan.

The 46th Annual CMA Awards nominations have been handed out, and leading the way in nominations is Eric Church (well deserved, in my opinion).  Each of the top categories -- Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year -- are filled with all of the big names, who each have a fair shot at winning the award.  But one category that sometimes gets overlooked is the “Musical Event of the

When Darius Rucker (Hootie) joined the country music family...I said to myself,  "what an acquisition!"  The guy has a very distinguishable voice that sat dormant after Hootie & The Blowfish fell off the map.  That's just the way the music biz works.  They chew you up and spit you out.  Luckily, someone in Nashville felt that Darius could make it in the ever-changing country music ge

Last week, Randy Travis was cited with a Class C assault after a physical confrontation with his girlfriend’s estranged husband in the parking lot of a Texas church. The husband, Dr. Ritchie Beougher, claims the country superstar did much worse than inflict an “unwanted touch” upon him.

Summer tours have allowed the hottest country men to travel the nation — in less clothing than normal — giving every fan a chance to see one or two of the sexiest male stars of 2012. A few look their best on stage, while others wear a suit and tie like a policeman wears his uniform. It just fits.

This week, Blake Shelton returns to the top of the country singles chart with his seventh-consecutive No. 1 hit, ‘Over.’ The tune is the fourth release from his current album, ‘Red River Blue,’ which has also spawned the chart-topping ‘Honey Bee,’ ‘God Gave Me You’ and ‘Drink on It.’

Hey country fans, are you looking for new music?  Well today's the day that you can grab new music from new artists.  J.T. Hodges and Dustin Lynch both have new albums out today.  Luckily, I was fortunate enough to grab one of each and preview them.  Personally, I wasn't blown away by either.  Lynch's album is definitely more country, but Hodges just may have better music.  It's all personal prefe

Every now and then a new artist runs through WYRK studios and performs a mini concert for a few of the staffers.  Most of the time, we find out that the guy/girl has been working the circuit in Nashville or has been writing there for quite a while.  One guy who recently blew through Buffalo on one of those quick tours was D. Vincent Williams.  Williams has been writing in Nashville for a long time
