Kellie Pickler recently performed a cozy concert at the Sound Kitchen in Nashville for RAM Country Live on Yahoo! Music, a series which is committed to creating intimate and exclusive concert experiences with the biggest artists in country music.
Kellie Pickler is the first artist announced for the 2012 Dodge Ram Jam concert in December. In the coming months, four more artists will be announced for the invitation-only Nashville show, and Taste of Country is giving you a chance to win some cool Pickler gear -- and maybe even a trip to Nashville to watch Pickler and company perform from Ram Jam.
Perhaps as much as any country artist, Kellie Pickler shares the details of her oft-tortured personal life with her fans and critics. On previous albums, she sang about her mother ('I Wonder') and an ex-boyfriend ('Best Days of Your Life'). Unlike, say Taylor Swift, Pickler isn't afraid to name names, but for the most part that's because the "names" are related to her.
The lyrics to Kellie Pickler's next single, '100 Proof,' were crafted by Grammy nominated singer-songwriter James T. Slater and Leslie Satcher. The tune is the second release from Pickler's '100 Proof' album and came about during a writing session between the two friends.
Tim McGraw and Kellie Pickler made country music proud this week as their new records entered onto the Billboard Top 200 albums chart with high debuts.
Kellie Pickler's new album is an honest look at who the singer is today. Now married and much more comfortable in her own skin than she was when we met her at age 19, Pickler delivers an honest performance on each of the 11 tracks on '100 Proof.' The recently released disc has drawn rave reviews from fans and critics, and it seems likely that it will set Pickler up for the next stage of her career.
Kellie Pickler's new album is called '100 Proof,' and she brought it to 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' both literally and figuratively. She performed 'Where's Tammy Wynette,' which is the first song on the new album. She also gifted Ellen DeGeneres, who had a birthday earlier this week, with a jar of moonshine!
Kellie Pickler knew early on that by earning a few extra bucks she'd really be helping her grandparents, who took charge of raising her when she was 11-years-old. So she got a job as a car hop at a Sonic Drive-In serving b
Kellie Pickler's new direction is a good fit, but much like a great pair of blue jeans it will take a few wears before the singer seems totally comfortable. '100 Proof' is an album she should (and is) proud of, but almost more exciting is how this underestimated singer will slink into the traditional country genre on the next album and the one after that, and the one after that.
Kellie Pickler releases her third studio album today (Jan. 24) and is sharing the stories behind each of the 11 tracks exclusively with Taste of Country. '100 Proof' plays almost like an autobiography of Pickler. There's a song dedicated to her new husband and her father, as well as one inspired by her struggles to accept what's left of her relationship with her mother.
