December 4, 2011 It's Sunday morning. My wife and I are standing on the south peak of Mt. Sentinel like we do most every Sunday morning. Except this particular Sunday morning the wind is howling at about 3o mph and it's bead blasting my face with new snow.

This week, Brantley Gilbert is once again celebrating having written the No. 1 country song in America. This one is extra sweet, however, as it’s his first chart-topping hit as a songwriter and performer.
The Band Perry were arguably the big winners at last week’s CMA Awards, winning crystal bullets for Single, Song and New Artist of the Year. This week, they’re continuing to reap the benefits as sales of their self-titled debut album are up 112 percent compared to the previous week.
Tonight the CMA Awards Show on ABC TV will be one of the best ever! Tons of entertainment starting off with Blake Shelton and Kenny Loggins singing 'FOOTLOOSE' from the new version of the movie. This song is also Blakes new tune! Here's the complete list for tonight:

Toby Keith‘s latest single, ‘Red Solo Cup,’ may be the earworm of the year, but it could also be the controversy of the year if certain hip-hop fans have their way.
More country music favorites have been confirmed to perform at the 2011 CMA Awards, which are set to take place in Nashville on November 9. The latest additions to an already enviable list of performers include the Band Perry, Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Thompson Square and Eric Church.
The nominations for the second annual American Country Awards were announced on Wednesday, with Jason Aldean and the Zac Brown Band leading the way with eight nods each.

Even as rescue workers continue to battle the wildfires that have raged through Texas throughout September, organizers are putting together a benefit to help pay for some of the more than $250 million worth of damage the fires have left behind.
Scheduled for October 17, ‘Fire Relief: The Concert for Central Texas’ has lined up an impressive array of artists and bands with roots in the Lone Star State, including the Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, and Lyle Lovett.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a musician who doesn’t appreciate his or her fans — without them, after all, no one would be able to record or tour. But during a recent concert, rising country star Eric Church demonstrated just how much his fans mean to him.
The show ended with one woman walking away with Church’s autograph on her boot — and one security guard being asked to leave before the final bow.
