HoF to Honor Patsy Cline with Biographical Exhibit; Cowboy Jack Clement Rebuilds; Album Releases
- The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will honor Patsy Cline with the exhibit “Patsy Cline: Crazy for Loving You,” which will open on August 24, 2012 and run through June 2013.
- Nearly 11 months after that devastating fire, Cowboy Jack Clement is hosting a housewarming for his rebuilt home and studio.
- Here is the video for the Carolina Chocolate Drops’ “Country Girl.”
- Folk-rockers Girlyman are offering a free download of their single “Empire of Our State.”
- Via press release: Phil Vassar will perform “Don’t Miss Your Life” on Fox & Friends May 10.
- Scott Borchetta, Marty Stuart, Lukas Nelson, and others compiled country playlists for American Songwriter.
- Mindy Smith announced several summer tour dates.
- CMT.com’s Craig Shelburne caught Eric Church’s sold-out Nashville show: The most admirable part of his show may be that he dedicated so much of his set to original material. He did sing a few lines of “A Country Boy Can Survive,” but other than that, there was no weird musical tribute to Guns N’ Roses, John Mellencamp or AC/DC, which happens more often at country shows than you might realize. If you can sell a million records, you might as well play your own songs, right?
- Out May 29: Wade Bowen’s The Given.
- Jake Owen got married.
- In honor of the late Warren Hellman, the San Francisco Symphony will include a suite of banjo music in their concerts this week.
- Time for another Quotable Country.
- Foghorn Stringband is guest-blogging for Prescription Bluegrass while touring Ireland.
- “Wanted You More” is the next Lady Antebellum single.
- Check out a new song from Jack Ingram.
- Album releases:
Pat Green – Songs We Wish We’d Written II
Paul Thorn – What the Hell is Goin’ On?
Sara Watkins – Sun Midnight Sun
Jimmy Gaudreau & Moondi Klein – Home from the Mills
The Wood Brothers – Live Vol. 1: Sky High
