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".
The Mavericks, who scored smash hits such as "Here Comes The Rain", "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" and "Dance The Night Away" in the 90's reunite again! The founding members Raul Malo (vocals, guitar), Robert Reynolds (bass) and Paul Deakin (drums) will tour both the USA and overseas in 2012.
This marks the second reunion of this fantastic band as they already reunited in 2003, released a very good album "The Mavericks" and disbanded shortly afterwards.
Raul Malo is a very active artist and entertainer, who has released 6 solo albums since the Mavericks first disbanded in 2001. I got to interview him in Nashville in 2010.
