new music release

Kellie Pickler is sharing new music with her fans and giving them a chance to download the title track if they pre-order ’100 Proof’ on iTunes. The singer has also released video of an acoustic performance of ‘Unlock That Honky Tonk,’ a banjo-driven, bluesy country tune that shows her fiery side.

Brad Paisley has recorded and released a new song called ‘Hard Life,’ which was penned by his friend, 23-year-old Joe Kindregan. Kindregan suffers from A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia), which is a rare, fatal and genetic disease where symptoms of disorders like cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, immune deficiencies and cancer are manifested.

Miranda Lambert‘s fourth studio album, ‘Four the Record,’ is also her fourth album to debut at No. 1 on the country album chart. The ‘Baggage Claim’ singer sold over 133K copies of the album, more than double her previous first week best. Lambert becomes the first country artist in the 47-year history of the album charts to have her first four albums debut at No. 1.

Luke Bryan‘s new video for ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End’ is more like a mini movie than just another music video. The music even stops mid-video in favor of some dialogue, and the action ends with a “to be continued” cliffhanger.

Good news for Lonestar fans. Next year, the band’s original lead singer, Richie McDonald, will return to the group — best know for hits ‘Amazed’  and ‘I’m Already There’ — to mark 20 years of making music together. In addition to a tour to commemorate their anniversary, Lonestar will also release a brand-new album with vocals by McDonald.

Miranda Lambert says one song on her new album reduced her and husband Blake Shelton to tears. The couple co-wrote ‘Over You’ about the death of Shelton’s brother who was killed in a car crash in 1990. It’s the second of five songs Lambert is previewing from her new ‘Four the Record’ album.

Blake Shelton‘s week is off to a good start, as the singer has claimed the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s country singles chart this week with his latest hit, ‘God Gave Me You.’

When you’ve had as many No. 1 singles as Zac Brown Band has — seven, to date — making music videos becomes an everyday thing. The group’s latest clip for ‘Keep Me in Mind’ seems almost effortless, though in a good way. The band shot the video live during a concert, but it comes packed with all of the genuine talent that makes ZBB so popular across the board.

It’s been almost two years since Joe Nichols fans were treated to a full-length collection of new songs from the ‘Gimmie That Girl’ singer, but that’ll change soon. On November 8, Nichols will return with his seventh full-length CD, ‘It’s All Good.’ The 10-song album, Nichols’ first for Show Dog/Universal, will include his latest top 30 country hit, ‘Take It Off.’

Keith Urban went all out while visiting ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ to promote his new men’s fragrance and treat fans to a performance of his latest single. During a tongue-in-cheek “commercial” with the talk show host, the singer gave her the shirt off his back — literally.

For a guy who’s on the road as much as Dierks Bentley, naming a song ‘Home‘ could be seen as a sort of wistfully ironic joke. But in the case of Bentley’s latest single, currently hovering outside the Top 40 at country radio, the title ‘Home’ has more than one meaning. “I think that title of that song is special to me because I’m coming home to country music,” he told CMT during a recent interview

Randy Travis has premiered the video for his latest single ‘Everything and All,’ which is one of six new songs included on his most current album, ‘Anniversary Collection.’ In the video, Travis leads viewers through a whirlwind journey, as cameras travel at warp speed throughout various scenes.
