Lonestar

It's difficult to argue that either of these country bands do not belong in the field of 16 that make up Taste of Country's March Bandness.

The battle for the best team in American begins today, not next week. Taste of Country's March Bandness is a fan-voted search for the best country band of all time.

The country-rocker will now be retired, meaning two new singles will face off on Tuesday. It's a battle between a newcomer and a group of legends making a comeback.

On Wednesday's (Nov. 21) episode of 'X Factor,' each performer was asked to give thanks with their performance and to perform a song for someone they are thankful.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and a pink spotlight is shining on this cause by multiple arms of the entertainment industry. Country quartet Lonestar are doing their part to raise funds and awareness. The band are helping to corral $50,000 for benefit breast cancer research by doing what they do best -- perform.

Until recently, this mega hit from Lonestar was the last country song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts.
