]]><![CDATA[Kenny Chesney Believes in 'Boys of Fall']]> - 2010-07-30http://nashvillecountryclub.com/feeds/story.php?id=914
Kenny Chesney’s hot new single, “The Boys of Fall,” is rocketing up the radio charts — and while Kenny certainly deserves credit for a terrific performance, he would be quick to give a tip of the hat to songwriters Casey Beathard (beth-ard) and Dave Turnbull for crafting an amazing song. Kenny says that — the first time he heard it — he knew it was going to connect with a lot of people in a big way. Co-writer Casey Beathard, by the way, is already known to Kenny fans as the writer of “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems,” “The Road and the Radio,” and “Don’t Blink,” while Dave Turnbull has had a hand in writing such songs as Montgomery Gentry’s chart-topping “Lucky Man,” ”That’s Why” — the title track to Craig Morgan’s latest album — and Chuck Wicks‘ current single, “Hold That Thought.”

And now, straight from the horse’s mouth, we have proof that in fact Sugarland has not recorded the musical equivalent of that awful Will Smith/Kevin Kline movie Wild Wild West: “I find it oddly interesting that people made a jump from a visual aesthetic to think that’s musically what’s gonna happen,” Jennifer Nettles told EW this morning. “But I think that’s really our fault for the way that we explained it, to be honest. It has everything to do with the visual. We wanted another world on stage. We wanted something fun, a visual aesthetic to be inspired by. We chose that one. It has nothing to do with the music. I definitely put the brunt of that on our shoulders for anyone who didn’t understand that.”

McBride, wrapping up a four-week West Coast tour stint, celebrated with a special performance at Chateau Ste Michelle winery in Woodinville, WA. Husband John McBride surprised her by appearing onstage and leading the fans in singing “Happy Birthday” to the superstar.

After the show, McBride received the annual birthday gift from her band and crew, Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill wine, and enjoyed a low-key celebration.

“My birthday was absolutely perfect. I began the day by hanging out with my family, celebrated at a beautiful winery with the best fans in the world and had a party with my band and crew.” said McBride. “It doesn’t get much better than this.”

McBride is currently nominated for Female Country Artist for the fan-voted Teen Choice Awards. The awards will air Monday, August 9 at 8:00 pm Eastern on FOX.

Lee Brice’s Top 10 hit “Love Like Crazy” got the star treatment from Lady A today in the band’s Wednesday Webisode. Thanks to Lady A’s clever way with a lyric, the title track to Brice’s debut CD is now a love song to…biscuits and gravy and the gastronomic marvels of the Waffle House menu.

"This is really funny, and I am honored that Lady A decided to tackle my song," Brice said. "I understand that mine is the second song they've spoofed and only two songs in, they've perfected the craft. Hey guys, how about a writing session in the next few weeks?”

“Love Like Crazy” spends its 48th week on the charts this week, making it one of only four titles to spend at least 48 weeks on the Billboard Country Songs chart in the magazine’s 66-year history. On the flip side, Brice co-wrote Garth Brooks’ smash hit “More Than a Memory,” the only song in the chart’s history to debut at the #1 position. Source: Alliance Media Relations

Jimmy Wayne Closing In on Final Steps Of Meet Me Halfway Walk
Former Foster Child Only 100 Miles Away from Phoenix, Arizona
Six states and 1700 miles later, not to mention more blisters than he cares to count, Jimmy Wayne is closing in on Phoenix Arizona. The artist is now less than 100 miles away from the final destination of his Meet Me Halfway walk, begun in Nashville, Tennessee on January 1, 2010. It’s been a long journey, often through harsh conditions, but Wayne says despite the difficulty of the walk, he would do it all again.

“This has been one of the most challenging, and at the same time rewarding experiences of my life,” Wayne said. “I know that might sound strange, but it’s true. This journey has made me think back on the childhood I had – there were many nights I didn’t know where I would sleep, and had no idea if I’d have any food. Even today, there are kids out there facing the same problems—nowhere to go, no one to care for them. It’s just amazing that in this country child homelessness and hunger are still issues. If this walk has helped even one child find a permanent home with a caring family, it’s been worth every step. And if me doing it all over again would help another, I’m ready.”

Once Wayne hits Mesa, AZ on July 31st, he and his band will take over Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill to perform a free and open to the public concert to say thanks to everyone who has supported him on this 1700 mile journey. The show begins at 7:30 pm PT.

Wayne hopes to have even more support when he crosses the finish line at HomeBase Youth Services in Phoenix the next morning. People are invited to meet him at Indian Steele Park at 8:00 am PT on Sunday August 1st and walk the last half-mile to HomeBase with him. There, the youth and staff of HomeBase will welcome Wayne across the finish line. And that same night, Wayne will perform a special invitation only concert for area foster children at the Hard Rock in Phoenix. Wayne plans to broadcast the concert live via ustream, beginning at 7:30 PM PT. Just prior to kicking off the show, he will talk with the kids and staff back at Monroe Harding in Nashville through skype.

And, notes Wayne, even though the last few steps of the walk halfway across America will soon be a memory, the journey for Meet Me Halfway is only just beginning. Wayne plans to keep the Meet Me Halfway Street Team and supporters busy with new ideas and projects to help him continue to raise awareness of homeless teens.
