Country Music Hall of Famer Ray Price has died. The singer succumbed to complications from pancreatic cancer at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Texas on Monday (Dec. 16), four days after issuing a goodbye letter to his fans and entering home hospice.

For anyone who calls eccentric 90's country band, The Tractors, a one-hit-wonder, have you forgotten about Christmas?  You see these "Baby Likes To Rock It" hit-makers not only turned that hit into "Santa Claus Is Coming In A Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train," but they also caught fire with this Christmas tune that has gotten lost over the years, "The Santa Claus Boogie."

Ray Price has entered hospice care in his home in Mt. Pleasant, Texas.

Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson have long been legends in country music. Now, the Grammy Hall of Fame is acknowledging their impact by inducting Parton's single 'Jolene' and Kristofferson's self-titled debut album into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Country singer Lynn Anderson was absent from last week's (Nov. 22) star-studded George Jones tribute show, but for reasons that were out of her control. She was involved in a scary car accident while on her way to the event. Anderson's SUV blew a tire, which is always terrifying and dangerous.

Friday night's (Nov. 22) Playing Possum: The Final No Show concert was all about George Jones, except for a few minutes in the middle that were dedicated to beleaguered singer Randy Travis. Actor Jon Voight took the stage to ask fans to create a human chain of love for the 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' singer, who was a longtime friend to Jones.
