Elvis Presley’s Christmas spirit is recalled in a special Christmas Duets album featuring some of our favorite female country music icons.
Country Christmas albums are my guiltiest indulgence during the holiday season (besides all those fresh-baked treats and sweets) so I thought I’d share a sneak preview of the new Elvis Presley Christmas Duets album which features such amazing female country singers like Martina McBride, Leann Rimes, and Carrie Underwood.
Last night’s 42nd annual CMA Awards show was both a hit and a miss in my book. Artists like Sugarland and Carrie Underwood demonstrated that they are not only hits on the radio, but hitsduring a live performance as well. Meanwhile, top-grossing artists like Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean show that sometimes all you need is a pretty face and a great marketing machine to back it. Many people are up in arms over the way that the night played out, and what it means for the current state of Nashville and the future of country music.
My favorite country music news source, The 9513, cites
“Country Music’s Biggest Night Wasn’t Country… if you are reading this website now, on the morning after, not because you’re looking for pictures of Kellie Pickler’s boobs but because you love country music, or because you like country music, or even because you have just a passing interest in one of the few contemporary art forms that can be said to be truly and uniquely American, you should feel both insulted and outraged by what you witnessed last night.”
