The Country Cutie Madness Tournament is on!  The final first round match up features Tough Cutie, Kellie Pickler vs. Canadian Cutie, Shania Twain.  Vote now!  See the Brackets here.

It is no secret that I have a 'thing' for Miss Kellie Pickler.  It's always nice to be able to talk to her, even if she did kick my butt not so long ago.

I'm so glad to be back after a Holiday vacation and some countdown fun over New Year's weekend, but now it's back to business.  Even though it's Tuesday, I've got a New Music Monday song for you to vote on today.

News about Kellie Pickler always catches my eye.  That's why I was excited to see she had released a video of a performance of one of the new songs from her forthcoming album, '100 Proof.' She has the banjo rockin' on this one as she also rocks a very cute ponytail...

Any time a year is a good time for Kellie Pickler, in my opinion, but Christmas Time?  Oh yeah, because that's when she pulls out the strapless red dress.  THAT indeed puts this DJ in the Christmas spirit!

For the second year in a row, the day after the CMA Awards, November 10th, there will be a TV taping for the CMA Country Christmas special.  The show will air on ABC, Thursday December 1st at 8pm and will be hosted by Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland.  This year tickets for the show are for sale to the general public for only $25

This is what I've been waiting for. I always knew Kellie Pickler was tough. Remember when she was tough on me in May? Anyway check out her new video for "Tough."

The weather has been so hot lately, I thought we should get some Christmas music on to cool you off.  I thought this would work, but I'm still hot for some reason.

What a show it was in downtown Owensboro!  The first ever Legendary Live music fest was an amazing show, featuring big stars of country music including Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins, Kellie Pickler, Jason Michael Carrol, Brett Eldredge, LoCash Cowboys, and Jaclyn Graves...

The Legendary Live Music Fest happens this Saturday in Rivermont Park in downtown Owensboro.  All this week you will get a small nugget about each one of the artists playing on the Legenday Live stage!  Those artists include Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins, LoCash Cowboys, Brett Eldredge, Jason Michael Carroll, Jaclyn Graves…and today’s spotlight is on Kellie Pickler...

Award shows seem to be a place where artists debut new music, especially heart-wrenching songs.  They will also sometimes use the glitz and glamour of the night to surprise the audience with an emotional performance they weren't expecting...
