This morning we are celebrating the Queens of country music. There are several that come to mind but three stand out from the rest. In our first hour, we will have Tammy Wynette in the spot light.
Day 3 in our tribute to the late George Jones. Today's song was written by Bobby Braddock and inspired by a TV commercial chronicling the life of a handgun going from owner to owner. Braddock used that concept this time with a wedding band.
Johnny Paycheck has worked in Nashville for years; as a Bass and Steel guitar player for George Jones, as a member of Ray Prices's Cherokee Cowboy band, and as a songwriter.
Kelly Clarkson continues to rock country music covers at the request of her fans. Most recently, she put on a rendition of a true classic country tune. At a gig in Indianapolis on Sunday night (Sept. 2), Clarkson gave Tammy Wynette‘s ‘Stand by Your Man’ the special treatment.
Last week, we pitted the brand new video for Rascal Flatts' 'Come Wake Me Up' against Jerrod Niemann's 'Shinin On Me'. In one of the closest showdowns that we have seen in some time, Jerrod Niemann was the winner with 53% of the vote.
Kellie Pickler recently performed a cozy concert at the Sound Kitchen in Nashville for RAM Country Live on Yahoo! Music, a series which is committed to creating intimate and exclusive concert experiences with the biggest artists in country music.
You don't need to be country to know "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette. It was released in 1968 and it's still a solid part of the American culture.
