When people of Middle Tennessee say they "bleed orange," they're referring to their undying devotion to the University of Tennessee Volunteers. Kenny Chesney is counted amongst the school's fans.

Anticipation is high among both fans and the music industry for Tim McGraw's Big Machine debut 'Two Lanes of Freedom,' especially after a public and not-so-amicable split from his former label, Curb.

Brad Paisley performed his hot single 'Southern Comfort Zone' Wednesday night (Jan. 9) on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and not only did the country superstar bring the house down with a soulful performance, but he was accompanied by the St. James Gospel Choir.

Election season came to an end months ago (thank goodness), but President Obama hasn't been inaugurated for his second term just yet.
