Top Tweets of the Week – Week of March 27th

Dierks Bentley's photo: hmmmmm....
10. @DierksBentley has been to many venues with no problems, but just recently he had a little trouble finding which way to go.  He simply said “hmmmmm…”

9. Preston Brust of the @LocashCowboys might have gotten crazy in Vegas, but he didn’t get married last I checked! “dont worry, im not gettin married in VEGAS this week…unless @britneyspears wants to : )” “ummm, might change my mind if @kimkardashian wants to hit the little chapel in VEGAS! -pb”

8. Twitter is the place to e when it comes to finding out about new music.  @KelliePickler is back in the studio and I cannot wait until her third album! “In my sanctuary (studio) Kyle’s playin on a song we wrote 2gether last mothers day. This song is so special 2 me. Can’t wait 2 share it w/u.”

7. Technology has begun spanning generations and @TerriClarkMusic has been affected by it “I love getting emails from my grandmother. Subject is usually weight, weather, or bowel movements.”

6. Be sure to watch the ACM’s tonight and if you are attending be on the lookout for @JaronATLRTL “Just been confirmed to appear at the ACMs… as a bathroom attendent just outside of section 104! Ladies room. Amazing gig. Come by and see me!!”

5. I never thought about @Bomshel as a threat, but the airport security thought they were! “Yea. The guy at airport security tried to get me to remove my bomshel sticker from my guitar…. He was serious. It made me laugh.”

4. I feel like I say this every week, but if you aren’t following @BrettEldredge you should start!  His tweets speak for themselves: “Opened windows lettin in the mountain air..Smell of natural Pine Sol rollin in! If that Pine Sol lady shows up while Im sleeping Ill freak”

3. I think road rage is just part of being human, but I think some people just have more than others.  @MartinaMcBride sent out this service announcement: “If ur 1st n long line of cars at a green light,I think it’s ur responsibility 2 pay attention& when the light turns green..GO! #drivepeople!”

2. There is always the one kid in class that has no idea what is going on on April Fools Day and apparently @TaylorSwift13 is that person: “Wow. I’m still the same as I was in elementary school- the last to realize it’s April Fools day. WAY confused until someone reminds me.”

1. Country music been making it’s mark lately and @JohnRich is bringing the country to reality TV! He posted this from his stay on Celebrity Apprentice “MR.TRUMP! I Kidnapped your slippers!1MILL for their safe return to your multi-billion dollar feet!JR”

Top Tweets of the Week – Week of January 23rd

10. @joeyandrory is probably the most down to earth duo there is in country music! After working at Marcy Jo’s, Rory just goes to the shop to pick up his car! “just picked up my Olds from the shop. Had to get some transmission work done on her.” http://yfrog.com/h0j32rj

9. I think most of America watches American Idol to make fun of the bad people and @ColdwaterJane is just another one of those people! “i like to watch american idol… for the bad people. does that make me heartless?? -b”

8. It does seem like at least once a month there is an awards show, but @blainelarsen puts it in the best perspective: “I think we have enough awards shows. Pretty soon there will have to be an awards show to honor the best awards shows! It’s coming folks!”

7. I think this just proves how normal @TaylorSwift13 is. Even when she is getting awards, she still gives high-fives like everyone else! “We all got dressed up and went to a party tonight where lots of wonderful people gave me and my producer Nathan shiny plaques-We high fived.”

6. Maybe this is why people’s new years resolutions never work! Too many temptations! @TerriClarkMusic wrote: “‘who to follow’ on my twitter account just suggested “Weight Watchers” AND “Paula Dean”…sounds counter productive”

5. This doesn’t need an explanation from me! @WhitneyDuncan said “Taking a bubble bath while being serenaded by my bf & his guitar. This would b super romantic if he wasn’t playing me my own songs. Haha”

4. @TaylorSwift13’s guitarist @GrantMickelson gave this tweet of inspiration about never giving up! “Met a guitarist last night who’s auditioning 2 get into Belmont’s Skool-O-Music, best of luck dude! If you get in, DON’T QUIT…like I did.”

3. When a joke doesn’t go well theres always an awkward silence, but @bretteldredge has found what to say! “My buddy told me a joke and when I didn’t get it he said ‘well that went over like a fart in a space suit’..ha! Never ever heard that one!”

2. There is nothing like the sound of a needle hitting that old record as @KelliePickler says “My Gpa Pickler gave me him and Gma’s old record player. Still sounds beautiful and so do all of the old records. Reminiscing.”

1. @DierksBentley is busy in the studio, but while he’s at it why not release one CD a month for the rest of the year? It will make the decision of what songs to puton the CD a lot easier! “‘@corbers: Yes, go the jamey Johnson route and give us a double dose of dierks! Double CD-26 songs?’ haha… how about 3… why not”

The Grascals & Dolly Parton Are Helping to Raise Awareness for Childhood Cancer

In a rare occasion of combined efforts, Nashville’s music community is gathering is support of “I Am Strong,” a song drawing awareness to the childhood cancer epidemic.

Two versions of “I Am Strong” have been recorded. Version 1 includes award-winning, Grammy-nominated group, The Grascals, with special guest Dolly Parton. Version 2 includes The Grascals, Dolly Parton, Randy Owen, Joe Nichols, Darryl Worley, Terri Clark, Charlie Daniels, Tom T. Hall, The Oak Ridge Boys and Steven Seagal.

A music video was directed by cancer survivor David Corlew of d. corlew films.

“I Am Strong,” was written by Grascals’ band member Jamie Johnson and his wife Susanne Mumpower-Johnson along with Jenee Fleenor after The Grascals visited the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis and were inspired by the stories and power of the children being treated there. “I Am Strong” is powerful in its message and artistic vision and brings together vocals from all of the artists who also appear separately with The Grascals on other tracks on this CD.

In honor of the children and this song, Cracker Barrel is donating a percentage of the proceeds from this CD to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The album, The Grascals & Friends – Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin, has 13 country music songs on it that you have probably heard before, but most likely not like this. The Grascals bring their own bluegrass style to the tunes and bring the different tracks to life with eight of their friends, including Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels and Dolly Parton. The Grascals & Friends – Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin will be available on January 10th, 2011, exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.

Tootsie’s Celebrates 50 Great Years!

Nashville’s venerable Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge has been shaped by legends, and last night, music icons and stars of yesterday, today, and tomorrow gathered at the Ryman Auditorium to honor country music’s legendary honky-tonk celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Kris Kristofferson, Mel Tillis, Terri Clark, Little Jimmy Dickens, Colt Ford, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Mark Chesnutt, Lorrie Morgan, The Grascals, Ronnie McDowell, Dean Miller (son of the late great Roger Miller), Mandy Barnett, and newcomer Joanna Smith, were among those who performed on the revered Ryman stage at the sold out show. Kristofferson, Dickens, Tillis and Clark co-hosted the evening which included a retrospective paying tribute to the Nashville landmark and the iconic woman it’s named for, Hattie Louise “Tootsie” Bess, who died in 1978. Radio personality Dr. Shane Collins, WPAP-FM (Panama City, FL), served as emcee.

The evening was steeping with camaraderie as old friends mingled, laughed, posed for photos together backstage, and even ribbed each other on stage. Introducing Tillis to the stage, Kristofferson commented, “He [Tillis] is the closest thing to Hank Williams we have today. We got in a lot of trouble together along with Merle [Haggard]. Tillis retorted, “Thanks Kris for being my opening act tonight,” which caused the Ryman audience to erupt with laughter.

Dickens made some faces blush and bellies ache with his R-rated schtick while costumed in a trench coat.

And there were moments of reverence for “Tootsie” Bess, as Tillis and Dickens shared warm stories of the woman known to care deeply and look after struggling singers and songwriters who were drawn to the mecca of great country music as they tried to make a name for themselves in the country music scene.

Nashville mayor Karl Dean was on hand to acknowledge Tootsie’s historical significance to Music City and presented Tootsie’s owner Steve Smith with a proclamation. The Nashville landmark also received proclamations from Rep. Jim Cooper, Governor Phil Bredesen, and President Barack Obama.

Other country music artists were at the event to honor Tootsie’s including Ira Dean, LoCash Cowboys’ Preston Brust and Chris Lucas, and Craig Campbell, among others.

Tootsie’s performers John Stone, Scott Collier, Dallas Sword, and Leslie Craig also entertained the packed house.
