Happy New Years Eve!  Today is the last day of 2009 so make it a great one!  Country Music Tattle Tale wishes all of our readers a very safe and happy new year full of great country music!    Take a look at what some of your favorite artists are thinking as they look back at 2009 and the plans they have for 2010.

Taylor Swift wants some spontaneity for her New Year’s resolution. She says her resolution probably will be something she determines “very close to New Year’s Eve.”

Big Kenny of Big and Rich plans to ring in the New Year on an undisclosed island. It’s someplace where he can get a gnarly rum drink. Kenny says “it’s an original spot where some of the best pirateers in the world hung out, and they really make a good rum drink down there, too.” But, he won’t reveal the spot. He says, if he spills “the name of the rum drink, you might know where I’m going.” And, he says he doesn’t “want to release that information for fear that, well, it could end up being the largest New Year’s Eve party in the world, actually, on water.”

Jimmy Wayne is amazed when he looks back at 2009. He says the highlights were “definitely going on tour with Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley” and recording his current single “Sara Smile.” Jimmy says with those two things, he’ll “walk away from 2009 thinking, ‘Wow. That happened?”‘ He says he’s “very thankful for that.”

2009 “kind of all runs together a little bit” for Phil Vassar. He’s playing Las Vegas tonight. Then, he has break for a couple of weeks. Next, he dives into his 2010 tour. Phil says before his tour begins he’ll take that window and “sit and think about it and mellow out. Sit on your couch and go, ‘Wow. OK what happened this year?”‘
