Nichols shares pregnancy experiences on The View
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 – When Heather Nichols delivered a healthy baby girl on April 17, the journey with husband Joe Nichols was not easy.
The couple had suffered five miscarriages prior to the birth of daughter Dylan River Nichols, and on Friday on The View, they share their story in an effort to help other women who may be experiencing similar challenges.
Nichols will also perform a song special to the couple, That Would Be Her. He sang it to Heather at their wedding, and Heather played the song throughout the lengthy and frequent treatments during her pregnancy. A line from the song inspired their daughter's middle name. The song can be found on Nichols' "Man With A Memory."
Heather Nichols has launched the More Than a Nichols Worth blog designed to share the information she accumulated during her research into treatments and her experiences throughout this pregnancy.

Never Gets Old
Joe Nichols is best known by many as the guy that sings "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," so it seems like more than mere coincidence how "Never Gets Old" opens with "Diamonds Make Babies," another song featuring a lyrical example of anthropomorphism. Such a lyrical tactic may grow tiresome quick, but hearing Nichols' resonant, traditional country singing voice will never ever get old.
Nichols is an extremely expressive singer, which is why he can sing »»» |
Crickets
Joe Nichols suffers from a split personality. With a fine voice like his and songs from his past like Brokenheartsville, Nichols is strongly positioned to lay claim to being one of the very few last traditional country singers standing. There just aren't a whole lot of folks out there with the twang and phrasing (listen to how he holds the notes on the lead-off Just Let Me Fall in Love With You or the twang in Baby You're in Love With Me) out there like Nichols.

A Traditional Christmas (digital only)
It's an instance of truth in advertising that Joe Nichols calls his new holiday album "A Traditional Christmas." Traditions are mostly wonderful things. Few would enjoy Christmas, for example, if it was celebrated completely differently every year. However, Nichols' new traditional album is a little too faithful to these familiar Christmas songs. It's as though he's being so careful, he won't open presents on Christmas morning for fear that he might mess up the wrapping paper. »»» |
Editorial: Walking the talk –
When names like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon and the Hag are invoked, you're talking hard core country. These are the touchstones of country , the guys who made country music what it was and still is (or maybe can be). When these folks would sing about being down-and-out and the rough-and-tumble, they knew of what they were singing about. Fast forward a few years to the country singers of today. »»»

Concert Review: White makes the case for himself, no matter how dark the music –
John Paul White opined with a glint in his eyes that his songs were not of the uplifting variety. In fact, they were downright dark. How else to explain "The Long Way" with the line "long way home back to you." Or "James," a song inspired by his grandfather who suffered from dementia.
But lest you think that the Alabama... »»»
