No matter how good you are, you don't make it by yourself in the country music business. It takes a lot of good people with a lot of good connections and a serious work ethic to make someone a "star" in this business. Tim McGraw is acutely aware of this.
It's a new year and the big tours are hitting the road. One of the biggest tours of the year is Brad Paisley's 'Virtual Reality World Tour'... but it wasn't always called that.
Some pretty crazy stuff can happen to you if you spend any amount of time on the road. Now think about your favorite country artist and how much time they spend on the road. Even though many of them travel in the lap of luxury (if you consider a converted Silver Eagle bus luxury) you can bet they've all seen their fair share of craziness
Whatever you think of television's "American Idol", you have to admit they have produced some very talented performers in the past. From Kelly Clarkson to Carrie Underwood to Scotty McCreery and all the rest. The show has accomplished even more than it set out to accomplish.
From the 'up and coming' file... Jerrod Niemann is steadily making a name for himself in country music. He continues to release great songs and now he has landed a spot on tour with one of his personal favorite performers.
Over the holidays, Brad Paisley realized that his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tour name, the Cowabunga! Tour, was a smidgen outdated. So, with the dawning of 2012, it was out with the old and in with the new! Paisley will embark on his freshly-named Virtual Reality World Tour on Jan. 12.
In an earlier blog I made reference to George Strait and his phenomenal achievements in the field of country music. It just so happens that I ran across a little story about Martina McBride touring with George this year.
Really, this was meant to be a follow-up to a blog I posted a couple of days ago.
Few country artists have achieved the success Alabama has enjoyed. I mean, think about it, who else can you name that dominated country music like Alabama did?
Out of a huge batch of relatively new country acts, Billy Currington has quietly made a great name for himself.
Talk about a "superstar" tour... this is the one everyone will want to see! Not only will you get to see country superstars, but up and coming stars, also!
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw will reunite for a 19-date stadium tour in 2012
