Nashville News: Monday, 8/3
The last time Alabama put original music out, the country genre looked a little different, and the band
itself did too. Now 14 years later, Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook are slated to release a brand
new album, Southern Drawl. Since country music has changed a bit since their last go round, their sound will too.
Southern Drawl will drop on Sept. 18. There is no track listing or pre-order information available yet, but it is expected to be announced as the release date draws nearer.
The Dixie Chicks thrilled European fans recently by announcing they’d be reuniting and going on
tour across the pond, but is it possible the band will take a tour stateside? According to Natalie Maine’s
Twitter page, it might be in the cards.
Shes responded to a fan who asked if they were “ready to play nice” (a reference to their song “Not Ready to Make Nice”) yet and perform in the States, giving American fans hope for a U.S. Tour.
She said, “I'll never make nice, but I will tour the states again.”
I will keep you posted on all things chicks that are dixie!
Facebook Quitters
You know those people who quit facebook every week just to come back that day or the next day? Or those who weed out their friends and announce, "Congrats, you have made the cut!"
Here's why they do it:
They want you to think they have better things to do: It's their own inadequacies that make them feel this way. Your internet life looks a lot more exciting than the real one.
They usually loudly announce their exit: This is done in effort to ease their insecurity by hearing
how many people want them to stay.
It only takes a month or two to come back: There's the fear of missing out and the realization that they aren't getting enough attention offline.
They want to make themselves feel special: Everyone wants to feel special, and the thing is, we all are.
But asking for attention isn't how you get it.
The Weather is heating up- perfect for the pool and the beach! Here are a few people you may not want to run in to!!
Problem Beach People
The modern day pirate. He's the guy searching for gold ... using a metal detector on the beach.
The family with the mobile living room. Tent, chairs, flotation devices, toys, enough food for a month, a grill …
these people are prepared to stay for a while.
The DJ. Tunes at the beach are nice. Blasting your music so that it can be heard across the ocean.
The sports junkie. If you want to toss around a football or Frisbee for a little while, that's fine ...
but the whole day?
The PDA couple. Partaking in some borderline soft-core porn on a beach surrounded by thousands of other people, and kids, is not cool.
Kite people. Kites are fine. Trying all day to get one to fly when it isn’t windy. Not so much.

Kelsea Ballerini, who moved to Nashville at 15 to pursue her dream, says her mother gave her the
best advice about about life. "Every day before I left the house, she would say 'Remember who you are.'
Every day. So when I started getting into music, every day she sends me a text saying, 'Remember who
you are and remember why you’re doing this.' That’s always in the back of my head and what I go back to."
Kelsea also got to fulfill another dream -- she got a puppy to take with her on the road. She named him
Dibs after her new single.

The current issue of Billboard has a piece on the many successful acts from the state of Georgia.
This list includesJason Aldean, Kip Moore, Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Zac Brown, Jennifer Nettles,
Sam Hunt, Billy Currington, Brantley Gilbert, Colt Ford, Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood, Lauren Alaina
and two members of Lady Antebellum.
The proud Georgians are quick to point out that country isn't the only music to emerge from the state,
which has also produced The Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, Little Richard and the Black Crows. Trisha says,
“It was a big melting pot and we’ve all got a little piece of it.”
