CMT is dipping its foot into the sitcom pool with the announcement of its first scripted comedy, Working Class. The show is due to premiere in January 2011 and will star actress and comedian Melissa Peterman.
Looks like actress Gwyneth Paltrow may be getting more than she originally bargained for when she signed up to play a country singer in the upcoming movie Country Strong -- she may actually have a bonafide country hit on her hands.
Responsible for penning hits for country stars like Patsy Cline, Eddy Arnold, Burl Ives, and George Strait, songwriter Hank Cochran passed away at his home in Hendersonville, TN, near Nashville, on July 15.
Kicking off September 29 in New York City, Miranda Lambert will support her latest album, Revolution, on the road across 28 cities as the headliner for CMT on Tour. The bill will also feature Eric Church, who's supporting his album Carolina, and country newcomer (and husband to actress Katherine Heigl) Josh Kelley. After releasing six albums in the pop-rock world, Kelley is set to record his first country album later this year for MCA Nashville.
Though overall CD sales were down almost 18% during the first half of 2010, Lady Antebellum are far from having a bad year themselves. Their sophomore album, Need You Now, has been named...
Now's about that time where everyone is starting to finalize those 4th of July plans and beginning to actually prepare for whatever BBQs, beach time or fireworks display is on the horizon.
Fans had the final say last night in Nashville, when the 2010 CMT Music Awards were handed out in a ceremony at Bridgestone Arena downtown. The only completely fan-voted country award show went off without a hitch, despite the recent flooding that the area is still recovering from.
After living in the Austin area for several decades, Willie Nelson will soon have his own street downtown.
The Austin City Council has voted to rechristen Second Street as the much cooler-sounding, Willie Nelson Boulevard. In addition to that honor, the legendary country singer may also one day have a life-size statue erected in front of the Austin City Limits studio; the nonprofit group Capital Area Statues is currently working to raise money for one.
Taylor Swift walked away with one of the night's top honors at the 58th annual BMI Pop Awards in Los Angeles last night, winning song of the year for her self-penned hit song "Love Story."
The full list of CMT Music Award nominees were announced this morning, and when all the fan votes were in and counted, it was Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and Jason Aldean that came out on top by snagging three nods each.
