Brad Paisley and Keith Urban have both confirmed that they are working on new material, but haven't set a release dates.  Eric Church confirmed that his next project will be a Live CD.  He'll record his shows October 8th & 9th in Chattanooga, TN to use for the CD, and release it early in 2013.  Eric has stated several times that he does not like making records, and that the writing & recording process "nearly kills me" every time.  He'll continue to tour this year including a stop in Biloxi on October 19th.  The CD that I'm really looking forward to is Dwight Yoakam's "3 Pears".  DY is my all time favorite country artist.....there's not even a close second.  I have always loved his songwriting style, but I'm not sure why.  The music is great, but it's a lot of heartache stuff and I'd like to think that I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky person.  I can't relate to "Buenos Noches From A Lonely Room" (hopefully NOBODY can) or "Lonesome Roads", but they are great songs musically and lyrically, as most of his songs are.  I believe Dwight is one of the most underrated songwriters of our generation.  If you only know "Fast As You" and want to get acclimated to some Dwight, grab his CD called "dwightyoakamacoustic.net".  Best CD ever.  Anyway, I'm anxious to hear some DY love songs.  You can also catch him and Zac Brown Band live on Pensacola Beach later this month for DeLuna Fest.  Get tix and info at www.delunafest.com and keep listening to 102.7 WXBM for a chance to win free tickets!

Brad Paisley's wife, Kimberly has signed on to appear in several episodes of the new TV drama "Nashville".  Her role will be the old flame of the main characters husband.  As I said a few weeks ago, I usually don't bother with TV dramas, but this one caught my eye and I'll at least DVR it and see what it's all about.  Nashville debuts October 10th on ABC.
