CMT's Katie Cook sat down with Dolly to talk about her new CD/DVD Live From London. In the interview, Dolly answers some questions about how she chose the songs that she sang during the concert. If you've got about three minutes, give it a look. Dolly's always entertaining whether she's singing or just talking. Enjoy!Follow Us:

Before he was hawking sausages, Jimmy Dean was known primarily as the "Big Bad John" guy. Big Bad John went to number one on the Billboard Hot Country charts on this day back in 1961. It also went to number one on both the Hot 100 and AC charts. I've always loved this song. Enjoy!Follow Us:

It's been three years since Joe Nichols had a top ten hit (2006's I'll Wait For You peaked at #7), so I'm hoping this one will break that streak. Gimme That Girl is his latest single from his 2009 Old Things New album. Surprisingly, Believers, the first single from the album, only made it to #26 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. This one is at #37 right now. It's a good one. Enjoy and h...

I've seen some of FastFocusTV.com's shorts on PBS before, but I had never seen this one on Steve Earle until I found it today. This is an interesting clip because it was filmed in 1986 when Earle was enjoying the tremendous success of his Guitar Town album, but was just about to enter the worst years of his life in regards to his drug addiction. It's chilling in the video to hear him talk abo...

Enjoy this look back at a number one from one...

As this day winds down, I thought I'd leave you with one of my all-time favorite Garth Brooks songs. In 1990, Garth Brooks was just beginning his accent to the top of country music. The Dance was his second number one country single. His first number one was If Tomorrow Never Comes, and The Dance was followed by Garth's most famous hit, Friends In Low Places. Enjoy and good night!Follow Us:...

Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D will hit movie theaters in April 2010. It chronicles Kenny over the ...
