Sammy Kershaw

Sammy Kershaw might be enjoying chart success with his latest album, 'Do You Know Me? A Tribute to George Jones,' but that doesn't mean the singer is thrilled with country music right now.

Sammy Kershaw is back on the charts, this time with his George Jones tribute album, 'Do You Know Me? A Tribute to George Jones.' The record debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard Top Country chart, making it his first Top 40 album in over a decade.

With pop-country, bro-country and hick-hop becoming more prominent in country music -- and artists like Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean and Big Smo at the forefront -- a more traditional country sound seems to be taking a backseat. Sammy Kershaw laments, giving his thoughts on the matter, and he isn't holding back.

The legendary Randy Travis had a setback during his recovery from heart troubles and a stroke that kept him hospitalized last month. According to Sammy Kershaw, Travis developed pneumonia in mid-August.

Sammy Kershaw's home in Lafayette, La. was damaged in a fire that broke out in the kitchen on Thursday (April 4). The property sustained heavy smoke damage, but thankfully, no one was injured in the blaze.

If you're an old-school country music fan, you're going to love the upcoming Roots & Boots Tour. Featuring Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin and Joe Diffie, this tour is tailor made for longtime, hardcore country music fans.

It's been 18 years between Christmas albums for Sammy Kershaw, but the singer says despite personal and professional ups and downs, the meaning of the holiday hasn't changed one bit. On 'A Sammy Klaus Christmas' he says he was looking to simplify -- to create a collection of songs that kids could enjoy in the way he enjoyed the holidays during his childhood.
