I am so excited to ring in the new year.  Even though not much changes outwardly it feels like a fresh start every year when I turn my calendar to January 1st. 

There is still very little going on in the world of country music news.  Lots of people are giving their run down of the best of 2008. 

Nashville 4U is giving predictions of who to watch in 2009!

• Eric Church
• Carrie Underwood
• Miranda Lambert
• Joe Nichols
• Keith Urban

CMIL has one of the best wrap up lists that I have seen.  Country babies of 2008.  Visit their website for pictures and more.

Nashville Gab has come great pictures of Kellie Pickler from her tour over in Iraq.

The 9513 has a list of the 10 Most Disappointing Albums of 2008.

• What Am I Waiting For, Heidi Newfield
• We Weren’t Crazy, Josh Gracin
• Backwoods Barbie, Dolly Parton
• C’MON, Keith Anderson
• Kellie Pickler, Kellie Pickler
• Anything Goes, Randy Houser
• Mockingbird, Allison Moorer
• Good Time, Alan Jackson
• Moment of Forever, Willie Nelson
• Crossover Acts – Darius Rucker, Jewel & Jessica Simpson

Wow!  Harsh – I don’t agree with a lot of this list.  What do you think?

That’s about it for today.  Unless something else great comes up I am taking the day off from posting.  There is no use in posting things you don’t really want to hear about.

Oops, almost forgot!  Don’t forget to watch Dick Clarks Rockin New Years Eve bash. Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler will be on tonight. 

Have a safe and Happy New Year!
