Blake Shelton's friends are turning out in droves to support the 'Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert' that the singer has organized for his home state of Oklahoma. The town of Moore, Oklahoma was ravaged by a tornado last Monday (May 20).
Hunter Hayes' debut album has been a success by almost every industry measure. At one point, fans seemed to be scooping it up faster than McDonald's hamburgers. Critics mostly praised the then-20-year-old's songwriting and musicianship, and the three singles helped find him nominated for three Grammys, four ACMs and a dozen or so other honors. But Hayes wasn't quite satisfied, so he's prepared an 'Encore.'

Blake Shelton knows this -- it's why his wife Miranda Lambert cut 'Over You' instead of him.

Florida Georgia Line recently stated that their popularity has blown their minds -- and rightly so. With a Double Platinum hit and Gold-certified album, the duo that claimed New Artist of the Year at this year's ACMs have been blowing a lot of minds.

Everyone knows that Jo Dee Messina is one of those fiercely independent, tell-it-like-it-is country music stars. But it's hard to believe that Messina has never had the chance to make an album the way she really wants it to be. Now, after 18 years in the industry, Messina hopes to finally have that chance.
