MORE GOOD STUFF…with Miranda, Jerrod, Josh, and Brad and Bradley!
- Look for Miranda Lambert on the cover of the October issue of Texas Monthly, on sale now! The 11-page feature looks at Miranda’s life and career, with quotes from fans and family, including hubby Blake Shelton, who praised, “She’s her own girl, and she always will be. But if you ask me, that’s what sets Miranda apart from all the other female country artists who are out there. She’s done it exactly her way, singing the songs that are important to her.” Miranda is currently rocking the airwaves with “Baggage Claim,” the first smash single from her new album, Four the Record, releasing November 1st!
- Quotable: Being true to yourself is an important part of developing your identity as an artist, as Jerrod Niemann and Josh Thompson both noted recently…
– On coming to Nashville to pursue music, Jerrod told The Palm Beach Post: “I came to town trying to be like everybody else and the real world forced me to be myself.” Jerrod is on the radio now with “One More Drinkin’ Song,” the third hit favorite from his album Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury.
– Josh Thompson in Waterloo, Iowa’s The Courier: “I think when I started writing what I knew and what I felt, that’s when I started getting success. I was trying everything, basically trying to copy the radio. That’s definitely not the approach at all.” Catch Josh on tour now with Luke Bryan!
- Brad Paisley fans have an extra-cool thing to check out, with word that Target stores are currently offering an exclusive deluxe edition of Tony Bennett‘s star-studded Duets II (two) album, released this past Tuesday. In addition to collaborations between Tony and such stars as Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Lady Gaga, Natalie Cole, and many others, the deluxe edition includes two bonus tracks, one with soprano singer Jackie Evancho and another with Brad Paisley as he duets with Tony on the classic “They Can’t Take That Away from Me.” You can hear the song on TheBoot.com’s exclusive premiere, right here.
