Amongst country music's top stars you'll find a captain, several staff sergeants, a corporal and an Army Ranger. All four branches of the United States military are covered by country hitmakers. In some cases they were on the front lines for historic events. In some cases an artist's career began during down time.
Hangover songs provide an important purpose in country music. Sure, plenty of great songs focus on the partying, the raising cain, and of course, booze guzzling, but what happens after the dust settles? After the cab ride home and the crashing on a buddy's couch?
Cinco de Mayo and Memorial day are exciting dates in May, but country fans are even more excited about the exciting album releases set for the month.
Crossover artist Darius Rucker was met with a lot of naysayers when he decided to try his hand at country music, but the singer says he wants nothing more than to be country.
Collin Raye recently became the latest country singer to speak out about the country music genre and why he's not happy about its progression.
Remember when we featured the adorable Emily Sunshine Hamilton singing Jimmie Rogers' 'Blue Yodel No. 6,' complete with the yodeling? The 9-year-old appeared on 'The Today Show' this week, showing off her now television-worthy musical skills.
This 9-year-old can bring a smile to anyone's face by just saying her name: Emi Sunshine. But when she grabs an instrument and begins singing -- or in her case, yodeling -- she'll make you smile and knock your socks off at the same time.
Country music is gaining more recognition than ever these days, and Tim McGraw thinks it's due time. With the genre's stars selling out huge venues like Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl, it's obvious that country really is taking over.
Forget daddy-daughter dances! Adorable little Mia and her father, Bryan (formerly of boyband LMNT), show country fans (and everyone else) that daddy-daughter duets are where it's at. The Las Vegas-based pair are hopelessly devoted to Taylor Swift, belting the words to '22,' 'Mean' and 'You Belong With Me' in one awesome medley.
It should be no surprise that many of country music's most romantic singers are pretty smooth off stage, as well. However, the most memorable, real-life love stories are honest and spontaneous. They hinge on tiny details, like the emotion she stirred when she walked on his bus, or the dress she wore when he sang to her on the beach during Spring Break.
