Tim, Dierks & Barnum Bash

Happy New Year!!  Is your new year's resolution still in tact?  The only time I ever made a resolution and stuck to it was going into Y2K when I quit dipping.  It was the hardest thing I've ever done but I'm glad I did because it's a terrible habit.  Plus, I was in the gas station today I looked over and noticed that my old brand of dip is over $6 a can!!  I went through two cans a week, so that's an extra $624 in my pocket every year.  Score!!!  My resolution this year is to quit biting my fingernails.  It's not quite as nasty as dipping, but it's still a bad habit.  Good luck with your resolution if you made one!

This week I've got a little info on upcoming CD's by Tim McGraw and Dierks Bentley.

Tim's project "Emotional Traffic" is finally going to see the light of day on January 24th.  It will feature 12 songs, including a song with hip-hop star Ne-Yo (never heard of him), his hit song "Felt Good On My Lips" and his current single "Better Than I Used To Be".  Here's the complete track list:

1. Halo
2. Right Back Actha Babe
3. One Part, Two Part
4. I Will Not Fall Down
5. The One
6. Better Than I Used To Be
7. Touchdown Jesus
8. The One That Got Away
9. Felt Good On My Lips
10. Hey Now
11. Only Human (With Ne-Yo)
12. Die By My Own Hand

Dierks Bentley's "Home" has also been in the works for quite a while.  The lead single "Am I The Only One" was released in March of last year and at that time, the project was scheduled for an August release date.  Never heard what pushed it back but I really like both singles that have come from this CD so far.  Look for "Home" February 7th.

1. 'Am I the Only One'
2. 'Gonna Die Young
3. 'Tip it on Back'
4. 'Home'
5. 'Diamonds Make Babies'
6. 'In My Head'

10. '5-1-5-0'
11. 'Heart of a Lonely Girl'
12. 'Thinking of You'

Keep listening to 102.7 WXBM to win tickets to Barnum Bash!!  Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey will be bringing a great show to the Pensacola Civic Center, January 12th-15th.  They say Barnum Bash is the "SWAKIEST" (is that a real word??) circus party around!!  My favorite part of the circus will always be the Wheel of Steel.  I'd love to try it, but would never have the guts to get in there.....or the money to pay for my injuries.  The Wheel of Steel will be part of Barnum Bash as well as Dimitri the Strong Man, Motorcycle Mania, Hand Balancers and a TON more.  They are also throwing a big pre-show party for all ticket holders one hour before the show.  Tickets start at $17 (plus service charges) at the Pensacola Civic Center box office and ticketmaster.com, and be sure to keep listening to WXBM for details on how you can win FREE tickets!!  More Barnum Bash info here:  http://www.ringling.com/ContentPage.aspx?id=45479&section=45474
