Tim, Garth & BONFIRE JAM!!!!!

Tim McGraw fans will finally be able to hear some new music from Tim since he won a legal battle with his record label last week.  A judge decided that Tim could release his "Emotional Traffic" CD next month!  Tim and Curb Records have been in at odds for quite a while over whether Tim lived up to the terms & conditions of his contract.  Emotional Traffic will be released January 17th.  In the mean time, Tim will release a Christmas song called "Christmas All Over The World".  Tim & Faith will also be heading out for an Australian Tour in March and then he'll be back in the U.S. for his "Brothers of the Sun" tour with Kenny Chesney which starts June 2nd in Tampa.  More info at http://www.timmcgraw.com/

Hank Jr recently went AWOL during a performance with Jason Aldean.  It happened during the taping of CMT's "Artists of the Year" special.  Jason & Hank were singing "Tattoos On This Town" when Hank walked off the stage!!  In a later press release, Hank said "I've heard people mess up my songs and screw up Daddy's songs.  I was here to honor Jason, a kid I really like. When I walked out there, it didn't feel right, it didn't sound right. I didn't want to disrespect him".  Sounds like Hank was unhappy with his own performance, not Jasons.  So, after Hank took off, they reset and Jason performed the song solo.  You can see Jason with Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley on the Artists of the Year show December 13th on CMT. 

In a recent interview with Robin Leach, Garth Brooks shed some light on his concert series at the Wynn hotel & casino in Las Vegas as well as his future plans.  When Kim & I got married in June, we stayed at Encore which is essentially the same as the Wynn, and we had an opportunity to see Garth's show, but tickets were $225 a piece, so we decided not to go.  It's a great interview if you have a few minutes:  http://www.vegasdeluxe.com/blogs/luxe-life/2011/dec/02/exclusive-garth-brooks-talks-wynn-residency-empty-/
