Carrie leaving country for hip-hop?

RELAX! The former American Idol champ is NOT leaving country music. She was just having a bit of fun on stage. Check her rapping in a mash-up of her song "See You Again" and Wiz Khalifa's song of the same name at last weekend's Big Barrel Country Music Festival in Delaware.

Luke Bryan has announced the dates for his Farm Tour 2015. Luke awards a scholarship to a student from a farming family in each city he plays on the tour.

Glen Campbell documentary pulls HUGE numbers:

Picture
The documentary film about Glen Campbell's final tour and his descent into Alzheimer's disease racked up record-setting ratings Sunday night on CNN. I'll Be Me drew 2.76-million viewers -- more than double that for any documentary previously screened on the network.

It also drew more than four-times the audience FOX News had at 9pm [ET] and more than five-times those tuned to MSNBC. It even scored well with younger audiences, who weren't around during Campbell's hitmaking days in the '60s and '70s.

ABC (BattleBots) and CBS (a Madame Secretary rerun) won the 9pm hour, but the Campbell film outdrew NBC (I Can Do That) and FOX (Family Guy).

I'll Be Me, which had a brief theatrical run last fall, will be repeated Friday at 8pm  on HLN and Saturday at 8pm on CNN. 



Thomas Rhett has a date

Picture
Thomas Rhett's sophomore album, Tangled Up, is set to release on September 25th. 

Thomas says, “The title Tangled Up comes from a lyric in one of the new songs, and I think it's a cool way to point to all the different influences that I have as an artist and a songwriter -- from soul and R&B to old school country to rock and everything in between. They are all in this record!"

Thomas is asking his fans to pick out the artwork for the album by choosing one of four designs on his website.
