Chely Wright

Chely Wright is set to release her first album in five years this September. Titled I Am the Rain, the follow-up to 2010's Lifted Off the Ground includes guest features from Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell and the Milk Carton Kids.

Five years after her coming out, Chely Wright is moving forward both in her music and in her work with LGBT advocacy.

Chely Wright is not shy about stating her opinions about political and social issues, and she used her Facebook page to express her strong views about political correctness.

Friday's (June 26) historic decision in favor of same-sex marriage in America led to a predictable rush of reactions from those both for and against the Supreme Court's decision. Country music's biggest stars also weighed in, and not everyone feels the 5-4 decision making same-sex marriage possible in all 50 states is good for our country's future.

Chely Wright is recording new music, and she's enlisting fans to help make it happen. The singer-songwriter has launched an official Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for her eighth studio album.

Chely Wright's mother has died following a brief battle with cancer.

Until now, Chely Wright and wife Lauren Blitzer had only shared photos of their new baby boys' feet and legs. Finally, George Samuel and Everett Joseph made their full debut on Instagram and in a campaign video for the New York City mayoral race.

Chely Wright's documentary 'Wish Me Away,' which chronicles her very personal experience coming out as an openly lesbian woman, has not only garnered respect, it's also seen a lot of success. And it keeps on growing, as the film has just been nominated for one of the top honors in film -- an Emmy.

Chely Wright has added identical twins to her family! The 'Single White Female' hitmaker and her wife, music executive Lauren Blitzer-Wright, welcomed two boys, George Samuel and Everett Joseph, on Saturday (May 18) in New York City.

Chely Wright has revealed that the identical twins she is carrying are little boys. Wright admitted the gender of her babies on 'Say Anything' on Current TV. Guest host Howard Bragman joked that they will be little cowboys.
