Editorial: Walking the talk?? When names like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon and the Hag are invoked, you're talking hard core country. These are the touchstones of country , the guys who made country music what it was and still is (or maybe can be). When these folks would sing about being down-and-out and the rough-and-tumble, they knew of what they were singing about. Fast forward a few years to the country singers of today.???? Concert Review: Chesney knows how to throw a party?? In the relatively recent past, Kenny Chesney concerts found the highly popular country artist looking just a little thunderstruck in front of large live audiences. He seemed to still be in awe of his own success. Not so during the Anaheim stop for his No Shoes Nation tour, however. When he kicked off his set with Feel Like A Rock Star, Chesney was...???? Concert Review: For Pokey LaFarge, it's not just a matter of luck?? Pokey LaFarge is a throw back in many ways.

The title of their new Rounder release, "Brothers Of The Highway" is a testament to the bond they've forged since going out on their own and taking the bluegrass world by storm in 2007....???? It's about time for Willis, Robison Some folks listening to Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison's new duet album, "Cheaters Game," may well exclaim, 'Well, it's about time!' after finally hearing these two talented country singer/songwriters recording music as a pair for the first time. Willis has built quite a following for her independently-minded feminine perspective, while Robison has written hits for the Dixie Chicks (Travelin' Soldier) and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (Angry All the Time), as well as penning the ultimate Willie Nelson tribute, What Would Willie Do? and recording it as a solo act. ...????
