Ever since teenage country star Scotty McCreery won Season 10 of ‘American Idol,’ he hasn’t stopped giving props to the popular show that gave him his big start in country music.

‘Wave on Wave’ hitmaker Pat Green already has a big following of devoted fans, but he’s hoping to rope in some loyal listeners with a new gig he’s trying.

It’s almost as if Jana Kramer‘s ‘Why Ya Wanna’ lyrics were written especially for her, as she has said many times that she has lived every single word of the song.

It might seem like Keith Urban has been a bit quiet lately, but that’s not actually the case.

It’s safe to say that Brantley Gilbert is one of the hottest rising stars in country music right now.

Country newcomer Michael Dean Church shows talent with his new single ‘That’s How We Roll,’ a song that needs a more experienced hand to take it past average. Vocally the Rome, Ga. raised singer is sound, but his voice buries some of the most enjoyable parts of this country rocker.

Nobody saw this coming. Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles made a stunning announcment this morning that is sure to affect how her and Kristian Bush travel this year and beyond. Find the story at the top of today’s Daily Roundup. You’ll also find a link to preview Kenny Chesney‘s new album in it’s entirety, and learn what big honor Eric Church earned.

Kenny Chesney, who’s already said ‘No’ to Twitter, has no desire to be a part of another pop culture craze. The singer recently dismissed any notion of associating himself with a reality television show or a singing competition a la Blake Shelton.
