Taste of Country

The men of Parmalee call opening for Willie Nelson a lifetime achievement, but it's just the latest high of a 10-year career speckled with struggle and tragedy.

Each week, Taste of Country readers decide the Top 10 new country music videos, which means each week, your favorite video has a chance to be No. 1. Online voting is the only thing considered to decide who comes in at No. 1 -- and dead last. Find your favorite video or videos and vote up to once every hour to make sure they're not left outside the countdown this week.

The Taste of Country Music Festival is approaching quickly, and artists like headliners Lady Antebellum are as excited to arrive at Hunter Mountain as fans are. Enter below for a chance to win three-day passes or VIP tickets to the festival and a meet and greet with Dave, Charles and Hillary.

Songs that are amongst the biggest of Lee Brice and Lady Antebellum's careers make a return to the ToC Top 10 Video Countdown this week -- in a big way. 'I Drive Your Truck' was a chart-topper for Brice, while Lady A's 'Downtown' sits at the top of the charts just this week. However, neither of these videos were No. 1 on this list, as decided explicitly by country music fans.

Here's a strange fact about the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown: Only videos from blonde singers have reached the No. 1 spot. Toby Keith kept the streak alive last week, as fans chose 'Hope on the Rocks' as the most popular clip of the week. Casey James and Carrie Underwood were close behind with their recent videos, but new offerings from the Band Perry and 'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens

All right, I've just got to vent about my recent experience with the doctor. I've only worked one day this week due to my bronchitis. On Tuesday I was told I would need to be out for two days and be on meds.

We want to fly you to the hottest music festival of 2013. Enter below for your chance to see Willie Nelson, Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes, Trace Adkins, and more at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter Mountain, NY.

New music videos from Kenny Chesney and Blake Shelton have shaken up this week's Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown. Both 'Pirate Flag' and 'Sure Be Cool if You Did' cracked the list, but neither were able to steal the top spot in their debut week. That battle remains one exclusive to three singers who have been going at it for weeks.

Much like they did her previous dark and stormy video, Carrie Underwood fans have fallen for the new twisted clip she calls 'Two Black Cadillacs.' The music video was inspired by Stephen King's book 'Christine' about a car that has a vengeful mind of its own. This week, Underwood ranks high on the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown -- but she's not No. 1.

Superstars like Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood ruled the ToC Top 10 Video Countdown last week, but neither artist -- or any of the other seven -- were able to displace the singer with the No. 1 video. Taylor Swift enjoyed back-to-back wins, but can she make it three in a row? Vote for your favorite videos in the readers poll below.
