Clay Walker is about to release a new record this summer. The album will be called "Long Live Cowboy" and the singer promises it would be pure traditional country music. Yee Haw!
Chris Young revealed his guests on the upcoming record, which will feature duets with Vince Gill and 2013's The Voice winner Cassadee Pope. Chris also co-produces the new album, which should come out later this year.
Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson are teaming up once again and on June 2 they will release a new album called "Django And Jimmie". They already released a music video for the first single "It's All Going To Pot". Now that's bro-country!
Popular duo Montgomery Gentry is going to release a new album on June 9. The record is named "Folks Like Us" and the title song is a current single.
Willie Nelson finally wrote his own memoir. Look for a book named "It’s a Long Story: My Life".
"Long Gone Loner", the powerful duet by Peter & Rowers and country music superstar Joe Diffie, became the most played country song in Europe last week. In the UK, Germany, Norway and Denmark the single made it straight to #1. The European Country Music TOP 10 chart is made up of average airplay in the past three weeks, so let's wish the boys good luck to add another European #1 under their hats.
Peter & The Rowers were lucky to have two #1 hits in 2007. In January "Blind Horses" made it to #1 and a couple of months later the band even broke the European airplay record when their hit song "I'm Leavin'" spent consecutive 14 weeks at the top. As a result, the European Country Music Association recognized Peter & The Rowers with 6 major awards in May 2008.
The duet "Long Gone Loner" can be heard at their official myspace page.
