Today is Mother’s Day and mothers all over the country are receiving gifts.

The Dixie Chicks and Nashville songwriter Stephony Smith should be looking forward to some nice royalty checks from the 1999 song ‘Sin Wagon.’ Never released as an official single, the song has gone on to be a long-term career song for the Chicks, and two different groups performed the track on ‘American Idol‘ during group [...]

Dixie Chicks star Natalie Maines has never been one to stand quietly in the corner and keep her opinions to herself.

Hank Jr. And Dixie Chicks – What's The Difference?

Trying my best not to turn this into a political discussion, I am very interested in the reaction to the latest Hank Williams Jr. controversy and the way country fans have handled it. I also think the situation mirrors one we’ve seen before, that is except for the complete opposite reaction from the fans. For [...]

Occasionally however, things happen, words exchanged and before you know it, you have a good ole’ fashion country feud, some of which might surprise you. Who knew that Brad Paisley and one of [...]
