There’s always some less-than-thrilling things that happen each week, whether it’s across the country, down to music city in Nashville or right here in our WNY backyards.
Here’s this week’s rundown.
When you pair the legendary Willie Nelson with some of today's most influential female singers, you get a record that everyone will be talking about long after its release this fall. Appropriately titled 'To All the Girls...' the album combines Nelson's iconic voice with those of Carrie Underwood, Loretta Lynn and many other phenomenal female voices.
Weather or a faulty power strip may be to blame for a fire that destroyed one building and damaged others at Loretta Lynn's home on Thursday night (Feb. 21). Firefighters arrived to Hurricane Mills at 7:30PM to put out the blaze. Lynn's management later tweeted to tell fans she was safe.
Word is the "Coal Miner's Daughter" is in the hospital with pneumonia. This is according to an Associated Press story from out of Ashland, Kentucky.
My wife and I were recently discussing how many of the icons we grew up with are gone. Names like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Elvis and one our favorites, Johnny Carson. We then started talking about some famous folks and wondered if they were still with us...like Loretta Lynn.
What a great tribute to some of the greatest female singers in the history of country music. The Academy of Country Music Girls' Night Out on CBS Friday night honored Reba McEntire, Jennifer Nettles, Carrie Underwood, the Judds, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert and Loretta Lynn.
