Brantley Gilbert sort of chuckles when people tell him Jason Aldean stole his songs. It’s not true, and Gilbert knows he couldn’t have made them hits like his fellow Georgian did. The truth is, ‘My Kinda Party’ and ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ were too risky for a new artist. Radio wouldn’t give him a chance like they did Aldean.
The Band Perry reveals what it's like to be on tour with Brad Paisley, how Kenny Chesney made things good with his impersonator and fried bologna sandwiches with Nashville Kat today. Is it lunchtime yet?
June 7, 2012 The CMT Music Awards aired live last night on CMT. The show was hosted by Toby Keith and Kristen Bell and was packed with fantastic performances. Here's a list of last night winners.
The 2012 CMT Music Awards began with a batch of country and pop collaborations before settling into a Nashville-based broadcast, featuring Music City’s best. Rascal Flatts closed the show with one of the all-time greatest mainstream rock bands however, inviting Journey on stage to sing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’.’
Toby Keith, Zac Brown Band, Jamey Johnson, Darius Rucker and Willie Nelson all have one thing in common: country music (Hey — if there’s something else, we don’t know about it). The country supergroup took the stage halfway through the 2012 CMT Music Awards to perform Nelson’s ‘Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.’
Toby Keith and actress Kristen Bell eventually took the stage to host the 2012 CMT Music Awards, but if you followed the opening moments of the show, you learned it wasn’t easy for them to get along. The two spent time campaigning to host the show themselves in a pre-taped video segment that featured cameos from President Obama, Mitt Romney, Bon Jovi, Willie Nelson, Mario Lopez and more.

May 17, 2012 Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' was recently covered by Lady Antebellum along side the Warren Brothers who co-wrote the massive hit with another set of brothers. Lady A performed the song during a concert in Tampa, Florida last Friday (May 11) and they rocked it with red cups in hand.
Toby Keith is known for being a seriously patriotic country star — maybe even the most patriotic one in the bunch. After all, some of his top hits have had names like ‘Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,’ ‘American Soldier’ and ‘Made in America.’
April 24, 2012 Thomas Rhett is one of the latest young musicians to break into the country music scene, and he's doing pretty well for himself. He has a new single 'Something to do With My Hands' that is climbing the charts, a new video, and a killer spot on one of the biggest tours of the summer - did I mention he's only 22?!
