Luke Bryan gains whiskey, restaurant sponsors
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 – Luke Bryan landed a co-sponsorship for his new single, "Country Man" - Longhorn Steakhouse and Jack Daniels. Bryan will make 24 appearances at Longhorn Steakhouses across the country to meet and sign autographs for the fans as part of the deal.
In June, the Georgia native will host his fan club party at a local Nashville Longhorn Steakhouse during the CMA Music Fest.
"I'm honored Longhorn Steakhouse and Jack Daniels have chosen to be partners with me," said Bryan. "I'd say this is the perfect partnership - great steaks, Tennessee whiskey and an old country boy like me."
Bryan's current single "Country Man" just recently went for adds at country radio. He released his Capitol debut last summer.

Doin' My Thing
"Do I turn you on and on when I kiss you baby? Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy?" Luke Bryan's debut single off his sophomore album, Do I is narrated from a point of insecurity, but it comes from a voice that's potentially watching a relationship collapse before his very eyes. It's the stage where one doesn't want to admit that the fire and passion are gone, so just the fact that he's asking all of these questions should tell us that it's over. »»» |
I'll Stay Me
Luke Bryan described his hometown of Leesburg, Ga. as "100 miles north of the Florida border, 100 miles east of the Alabama border and in the middle of nowhere."
His 11-song debut has a similarly rural feel to it. Bryan, who co-wrote Billy Currington's number one hit "Good Directions," proves his versatility on an album that combines twangy vocals and fiddles with catchy melodies.
"Country Man," however, is chock full of country clichés and is Bryan's »»» |
Editorial: A fine night for Taylor Swift –
Taylor Swift's showing at the Country Music Association awards Wednesday night was no surprise. In some respects, it was invigorating to see someone who was not male and not around umpteen years like some of her male counterparts take home the biggest prize of the night, entertainer of the year. »»»

Making quite clear that she was not a happy camper, Case still channeled her musical energies... »»»

To say that Lyle Lovett has a great new album in "Natural Forces" is a newsflash akin to announcing that oxygen is now available for mass consumption at no charge. Lovett's musical quality is as automatic as a politician's promise and infinitely more trustworthy, which might lead one to believe that, at a certain level, the Texas singer/songwriter has become slightly jaded by the consistent accolades thrown his way. One would be very mistaken.... »»»
When "Mountain Soul" became a critical success, it wasn't long before fans began requesting a follow-up from Patty Loveless. "They were questioning last year when I was ever going to do another record such as the first 'Mountain Soul,'" Loveless says. "So, Saguaro Records came to me about doing another record with them, and we suggested doing one to coincide with the popularity of what the first one did."... »»»
Rosie Flores played in Screaming Sirens, back when cow-punk wasn't (yet) cool. She also helped turn Los Angeles, that underground roots rock town south of Bakersfield, into a flourishing alternative country music scene in the '80s. Her self-titled debut album was produced by Peter Anderson, who played guitar and produced some guy named Dwight Yoakam, and she even handled lead guitar work for Butch Hancock's band in 1994. She ain't done yet, though, as her new CD demonstrates.... »»»
