Taste of Country

As of this week, Reba McEntire is officially a part of the Country Music Hall of Fame. The legendary redhead was inducted in an intimate Medallion Ceremony in Nashville on Monday, where she was joined by fellow inductees Bobby Braddock and Jean Shepard, friends, family, peers and Dolly Parton, who officially welcomed her.

Last fall, Scott Reeves -- former member of country duo Blue County, and now playing the role of Dr. Steven Webber on ABC's soap opera 'General Hospital' -- and three of his co-stars hit the road as cover band Port Chuck. Reeves, along with Steve Burton ("Jason Morgan"), Brandon Barash ("Johnny Zacchara") and Bradford Anderson ("Damion Spinelli"), toured select market

Days before he won on the 'Celebrity Apprentice' finale, John Rich was in New York, so he stopped by Fox and Friends. When the interview turned to 'American Idol,' Rich was quick to give his opinion on the show, where two contestants are left standing: Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

Burns and Poe's latest single, 'Second Chance,' has only been at radio for a couple of weeks, but it is already making a big impact with listeners across the country. The tune was written by the duo -- Keith Burns and Michelle Poe -- along with Tom Stipe, who is the TV voice and producer of the University of Alabama's Crimson Tide.

According to Billboard, McGraw is seeking "advance payment and recording-fund reimbursement, unspecified damages, and a jury trial." In addition to this, McGraw's suit also asks that 'E

Lauren Alaina's country debut is more a great moment than a great song. Win or lose, the younger of the two 'American Idol' finalists will forever be remembered for the emotions she shared with her mother during the final round of the competition. On its own, 'Like My Mother Does' doesn't live up to that postcard.

The first thing that stands out about Scotty McCreery's debut country single has nothing to do with the song itself. The 'American Idol' live soundstage does this boy no justice, as the studio version of 'I Love You This Big' proves the 17-year-old finalist is far more mature than audiences have given him credit for.

This week Brad Paisley makes his 19th trip to the top of the Billboard country singles chart with his latest single, 'Old Alabama.' Written by Paisley, along with songwriters Chris DuBois and Dave Turnbull, the tune is something that took many creative twists before turning into the hit that it is today, paying tribute to the supergroup Alabama...

The reemergence of Sara Evans gave life not only to her career, but to millions of women who were kicked around and given up on by the same people who once said "I love you." She seemed to truly find strength after taking a few years off to handle personal issues. 'A Little Bit Stronger' was the start of a great comeback story. Her new single 'My Heart Can't Tell You No' feels like a sud
