American Idol's next stop would bring it to Austin, Texas, where once again we would have a nice selection of Country hopefuls to choose from.  Case in point--we got to see John Wayne Shulz belly up to the judges' table with Brooks and Dunn's, Believe. John also had a very compelling and uplifting story to share. (judges love that!)
