Luke Bryan's red-hot career has kept him plenty busy this year, but the hardworking singer still has plans to get his hands dirty during the upcoming holiday break. He and wife Caroline are building a family farm.

To say that country newcomers Florida Georgia Line are a breakout group would be an understatement. This the popular duo's debut album, 'Here's to the Good Times,' clinched the Highest Album Sales of 2012 for a New Country Artist when they moved 63,000 units of the record following its Dec. 4 release.

Jason Aldean loves singing country music, but that isn't stopping him from thinking of other careers that he might enjoy. Of course he isn't going to hang up his cowboy hat anytime soon, but he is interested in trying his hand at acting.

Finals week is a challenging time for your average college student, but Scotty McCreery is far from your average university co-ed. North Carolina State University's most famous student recently took to his official Twitter account to effectively demonstrate the drastic difference in his double life.

Jason Aldean's new album, 'Night Train,' has gone platinum for one million copies shipped. It's his fifth straight album to reach the certification, doing so quicker than 'My Kinda Party,' which has sold nearly three million copies since its release in 2010.

Don't trust that grapefruit-sized flower growing from RaeLynn's platinum blonde hair. This girl and her first single 'Boyfriend' are absolute country trouble with a capital "T." But rarely has trouble sounded this much fun.

Season 2 'The Voice' contestant, that firecracker known as RaeLynn, returned the stage where we first met her this evening (Dec. 11) to debut her brand new single 'Boyfriend.' She performed the song live on the elimination episode of the show, which should remind the remaining Season 3 hopefuls of what's possible whether or not you win the whole thing.

The stats on Brad Paisley's 'Southern Comfort Zone' video are impressive before one even gets to the first scenes. Eight countries covered in eight days. Ten thousand miles traveled, 57 pints of beer gulped down. That's a lot of for a guy who doesn't drink.

This dapper young fella is all dressed up to sing a classic from the King. We love the seafoam button-down and necktie. Sure, it's probably a clip-on, but have you ever tried to knot a double windsor? His stiff white hat is a throwback to the time George Strait first made 'Amarillo by Morning' a country hit in 1983.

Sheryl Crow is undoubtedly best known for her pop and rock hits like 'All I Wanna Do,' 'If It Makes You Happy' and 'My Favorite Mistake,' but the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has recently finished up recording her first country album, which she says is closer to true country music than much of what's being marketed as country these days.

During his nearly 50 years in country music, Johnny Cash proved to be one of the most prolific recording artists of his time. He brought equipment everywhere -- often to prisons -- to capture unique sounds and tensions on tape. Those rarities and long since forgotten live albums are just part of what's included in the new 'The Complete Columbia Album Collection' box set.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill began their Soul2Soul residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas over the weekend. A packed house watched the couple volley hits back and forth at each other between the emotional duets that made the original Soul2Soul Tour so popular.
