March 7, 2013 With Ashley Monroe, it's barely a cliche. Superstar singers are throwing themselves at her. There was a duet with Ronnie Dunn early in her career.

March 6, 2013 It's how music fans imagine every album to be recorded, but rarely is it a reality. Instead of sequestering individual musicians in micro-studios or recording each layer of a song one by one, Ashley Monroe recorded 'Like a Rose' live and in the round. The result? A project that fans and critics are fighting to pile with praise, and one that's gathering her attention across the internet.
March 5, 2013 No one does anguish quite like Ashley Monroe. On her new album, 'Like a Rose,' the singer redefines bittersweet for a country music audience that is still very much learning her name. Her sorrow comes sprinkled with just a teaspoon of sugar when she's at her best. One finds hope in the face of tragedy and bad circumstance, which is at times inspiring.

January 3, 2013 Country newcomers the Henningsens may not have as many fans as superstars like Miranda Lambert and Darius Rucker -- yet -- but their faithful followers continue to step up in a big way. Yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio the trio's single 'American Beautiful' topped Rucker's 'Wagon Wheel.' As they go for a fourth straight win, is it really fair to still call them underdogs?
