Brantley Gilbert has definitely earned his slot on the list of up-and-coming country stars. This year, the rising hitmaker has watched ‘You Don’t Know Her Like I Do’ become his second-consecutive No. 1 single, and he’s gained major songwriting success, too. Gilbert penned ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ and ‘My Kinda Party,’ both of which Jason Aldean has taken to the top of the country charts. After gaining f

Between touring with Jason Aldean and promoting his multi-week No. 1 single ‘Drunk on You’, Luke Bryan is in the midst of a seriously busy summer.

Carrie Underwood Hopes to Be Lauren Alaina’s ‘Big Sister’
Carrie Underwood is best known for her off-the-charts singing voice — have you heard her pipes in ‘Good Girl’? — but sometimes country music fans forget that the award-winning songstress is an accomplished songwriter, too. Typically, Underwood is one to record her own work, but her latest tune, ‘Eighteen Inches,’ will be fellow ‘American Idol’ alum Lauren Alaina‘s next radio single. Of course Unde
Miranda Lambert Cancels Upcoming Concerts Per Doctor’s Orders
It’s hard to imagine tough-as-nails country gal Miranda Lambert getting so sick that she has to cancel shows, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened this week. The normally energetic country star was slated to play at Jam in the Valley in Varysburg, N.Y. tonight (July 6), but according to Jam in the Valley officials, the ‘Over You’ hitmaker “has taken ill and has canceled all performa
Keith Urban Not Returning to ‘The Voice’ Until His Album Is Done
Although Keith Urban has fully enjoyed coaching talented singers on ‘The Voice’ in Australia, there’s no chance that the ‘You Gonna Fly’ hitmaker will trade in his guitar for a permanent reality TV contract anytime soon.

David Nail Recovers From Injury, Signs Up for Another Celeb Softball Game
David Nail is pretty hardcore. Just last month, the ‘Let It Rain’ hitmaker left it all out on the field at the City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville. In fact, he played so hard (and might we add, threw out so many members of the challenging team) that he suffered a minor fracture and a detached tendon in his hand. The good news is, now Nail is all pat
Keith Urban Admits Life With Three Girls Has Made Him More of a Crier
You wouldn’t be able to tell from watching his rocking stage performances, but as it turns out, having a wife and two daughters has made Keith Urban a bit of a softie. In a recent interview with the Belfast Telegraph, the ‘For You’ singer admitted that sometimes even the most random things make him cry.
Tim McGraw Shares What Makes America a Great Place to Live
There’s no day quite like the Fourth of July to make Americans reflect on the freedoms and gifts we too often take for granted as citizens of the U.S.A.
