Willie Nelson releases 78th studio album in tribute to Merle Haggard. The 12 track listing includes hits such as Mama Tried, If We Make It Through December, and Okie From Muskogee.

As Father's Day approaches, I love seeing examples of GREAT dads. My own father, the father of my children and my husband are all AWESOME dad's. To me, what makes an incredible dad, is the quality of time a dad spends with his child. What a man shares and teaches a child. I found a dad that is pretty amazing, he is singing with his son. SO CUTE!

America's favorite sweetheart, Taylor Swift, is undoubtedly ripping up the charts with her newest album, 'RED.' Yet as good as it might be this version of Swift's hit, 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' might be even better than the original.

Last week I revealed some original versions of songs you may not have known were cover songs.  I failed to include one I didn't even know was a cover, by a band I didn't know was a band.  Jerrod Niemann's "Lover, Lover" is a direct cover of a song from the early 90's by a group known as Sonia Dada.

Occasionally a song will come along, that you will hear and say, "I've heard this somewhere before." It's not one of those obvious cover songs, but one that was cut by somebody on an album, or maybe was put out as a single and tanked. Either way, there's a chance you may have never heard these versions of some of your favorite songs.
