With their traditional country sound, mixed with a little retro-pop, and some Cuban flavoring, The Mavericks made a name for themselves with songs like “What A Cryin’ Shame” and “Here Comes The Rain.” They took home country’s highest honor for a group on more than one occasion from 1994-1996. While they’ve been quiet for sometime, The Mavericks, have returned with the Vallory Music Co. with a new EP and a new single called “Born To Be Blue.”

‘Koalaing’ Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet
Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

Remember When George Strait Went to Prison?
It was the wildest show behind bars, and George Strait was in the thick of it for one year in the early '80s. He wasn't the only one. Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall … they all did time behind the walls of the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Deer Goes Crazy After Crashing Into a Bus
May 18, 2013 12:00 PM I have had my fair share of run ins with deer. Living in the country, it's just a way of life. You must, during the early morning hours and evening/night hours, constantly be on alert and have your eyes scanning the sides of the road.
Once, on a trip back to Indiana from Tennessee, a deer came inches away from slamming through the passenger side window of my car, injuring my son. Luckily, the deer hit the front of the windshield and rolled off the hood of the car. But in the case of this bus, it came right through the window and went crazy!!

May 18, 2013 8:00 AM Trick shot videos can be pretty amazing depending on how elaborate they are, which in some cases might even make you question their authenticity.

The second video might be the greates trick golf shot ever and definitely a one-in-a-million shot.
‘Sixty for Sixty’ Campaign for George Strait Falls Short
May 18, 2013 4:00 AM George Strait turns 61 years old TODAY! The "Sixty for Sixty" campaign to get George his 60th #1 single while he was still 60 years old didn't quite make it, "Give It All We Got Tonight" has only made it to #10. But, that's OK, there is no one like George Strait and there quite possibly never will be. Several, I mean tons, of artists made videos to try and urge fans to buy the single. It is very touching. Watch them give love and admiration to the king of country music.
