For the second straight year, the country music industry tossed their razors and shaving cream in the garbage in an effort to help the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. No Shave November raised almost $30,000 in 2011. This year, country stars like Casey James and Thompson Square's Keifer Thompson are helping the industry surpass $100,000. So, which artist has the best face fur?
Casey James is looking forward to kicking off the Taste of Country Christmas Tour with JB and the Moonshine Band this week in Abilene, Texas. When the 'Crying on a Suitcase' singer stopped by the Taste of Country Nights studio to talk about the tour, he revealed that his mother occasionally hops on stage with him. At least, she used to...
Casey James remains steadfast in his No Shave November commitment. This month, he's been forgoing any his usual facial hair grooming habits in support of Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs from the donated hair for cancer patients who have lost their hair following intensive chemotherapy. The country newcomer admits that the goodwill effort is one that hits particularly close to home.
Casey James is as honest in an interview as he is with his music. The Texan and one-time 'American Idol' contestant took a few minutes -- OK, just one minute -- to dish on his troubled youth, his showering preferences and how Keith Urban will do on the show that launched his career nearly three years ago. We already covered questions of inspiration, heartbreak and love in previous interviews, so it was time to get the real scoop from the 'Cryin' on a Suitcase' himater.
Casey James will bring fellow Texans JB and the Moonshine Band on the road with him this fall as they take the Taste of Country Christmas Tour across the southern United States. The 11-stop run pairs two of the hottest young acts in country music on a trip through Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas during the holiday season.
In his new 'Crying on a Suitcase' music video Casey James makes his acting debut, and he admits he was nervous about it. One would never guess as much after watching the finished treatment for the clip, however, as James plays the part like he smiles or plays his guitar -- naturally.
In his latest project, Casey James proves that in addition to his singing and songwriting skills, the man knows how to act on camera, too. James just released the emotionally-charged video for 'Crying on a Suitcase,' which fits in perfectly with the heart-wrenching song. As the second single from James' self-titled debut album, it's sure to turn some heads.
Luke Bryan proved that he's one of the hottest country artists on the planet last Friday. The 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' singer's fans mopped up Kelleigh Bannen's contingent to make the fourth single from 'Tailgates on Tanlines' the new Showdown champion. He'll face a repeat challenger today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio.
Jason Aldean is a perfect three-for-three in Taste of Country Showdowns. Last night his new song 'Take a Little Ride' took care of Sara Evans' new single 'Anywhere.' The laid-back lead single from his upcoming album will need plenty of support online this afternoon, and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio to topple a fourth challenger. Remember, five wins in a row gets a song to the Showdown Hall of Fame.
'Crying on a Suitcase' is one of two songs on Casey James' self-titled debut that the singer didn't help write, but the song doesn't suffer from any lack of personal connection. It's a more straightforward, mainstream country song than his previous single 'Let's Don't Call It a Night,' which leaned more toward soul or blues. James' delivery here is appropriately urgent.
