Growing up, Justin Moore took his country music concert-going experiences very seriously. Of course when he became old enough to drink in the parking lot before shows he found his commitment was challenged, but he always remembered why he was there.

Scotty McCreery shared new music and a window for the release of his sophomore album during a CMA Music Festival fan party on Sunday (June 6), where six hundred McCreerians ate Bojangles chicken and enjoyed an eight-song acoustic set at Rocketown in Nashville.

A third album can be a trap album for an artist like Justin Moore. To get this far means you've had some success and made a little money, especially if you write your own songs, as the 29-year-old does. With two kids and a wife at home, those weekends away lose their luster no matter how seductive the thrill of playing for thousands of fans who know every word to every song you've ever cut can be.

LeAnn Rimes has a 'spitfire' personality, and she's never been afraid to stand up for herself and those she loves. However, the 30-year-old singer has learned that when it comes to husband Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife, she needs to bite her tongue.

Rachel Farley may be the only female soloist performing on June 14 at the Taste of Country Music Festival, but she won't have trouble fitting in. The 18-year-old Georgia-born newcomer is no delicate flower. Her single 'Ain't Easy' serves as an autobiography, and she cut her teeth playing Georgia bars with Brantley Gilbert before she could legally drive a car.

Earlier this year, Dustin Lynch was invited to join Keith Urban on the set of 'American Idol' to talk plans for the star's Light the Fuse Tour. The 'She Cranks My Tractor' singer is opening each show alongside Little Big Town, and the two talked business before Lynch sat in the audience and took in an episode of the reality series. Personally and professionally, the 28-year-old couldn't have been

Newcomer Weston Burt's debut single 'Lucky Sometimes' has cracked country radio in a big way, especially on Sirius XM's the Highway channel. The uptempo cut finds a new way to say "I love you," and fans enjoy singing it back to him during live shows. They'll get another chance after Willie Nelson performs on opening night of the Taste of Country Music Festival.

Bill Engvall called into Skeeter's show to talk about his June 20th appearance at the Victoria Fine Arts Center.  The comedian/actor--known for his "Here's Your Sign" catchphrase and as part of the "Blue Collar Comedy" shows with Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy and Ron White--gives a preview of what will be his first concert appearance in Victoria.

Trace Adkins seems like he's on a hot streak, but to hear him tell the tale, he feels like his career could be over at any time. In a candid new interview, the country star and recent 'Celebrity Apprentice' winner expresses doubts about getting radio airplay for his new album, 'Love Will.'

With Joe Nichols' latest single, 'Sunny & 75,' gaining popularity, he's gearing up to hit the road for the next few months to bring his music to fans all over the country. In a new behind-the-scenes interview, he opens up about the new single, his devoted fans and life on the road.

Country power couple Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert aren't daunted in their marriage, even when the peskiest of divorce rumors surface in the tabloids. You see, the couple has an open book policy in their marriage, and that honesty leaves no room for doubt or distrust.

Miranda Lambert is one of the many big-name artists to make a guest appearance on former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty's new album, 'Wrote a Song for Everyone.' And while Fogerty is an enthusiastic fan of Lambert's now, he admits that when he first heard her, he somehow thought he was discovering an unknown artist.
