Michael Ray has been waiting a long time for this. Over a year, in fact. He is so excited to finally share his new music, from his highly anticipated album, Amos, It's named for his late grandfather, his mentor, and biggest fan. It was great to catch up with the man we've often called upon to perform at our shows, from Monstah Bash, to Street Party and our Festival. We talk, Wrigley, his beloved dog, his need for a girlfriend (as if), the best part of his job, and favorite song on the album.

Hot off winning their latest award, the ACM Duo Of the Year Award, Brothers Osborne took a few minutes to call me. And once you get TJ and John talking... there's no stopping them! They are funny, charming and appreciate. The sibblings are super excited for the release (today) of their new album, Port Saint Joe. It was recorded in an usual way. And the guys play along with my "wicked quick fun facts" game.

No big deal. Three time ACM Entertainer of the Year Jason Aldean just called! And yeah, I'm still a little shakey. He is only one of country music biggest stars! He's a A-lister with a deep appreciation of where he's been, what he's accomplished and all those who spend their hard earned money to come see him and buy his albums. His lastest album, Rearview Town just came out and he's so proud. We talk kids, concerts and collaborations. And now I can faint.
