Why Does the Word ‘Dixie’ Refer to the South?
January 18, 2013 Funny how the mind works…I was whistling the song ‘Dixie’ the other day and my son started whistling along. It made me wonder how ‘Dixie’ became known as the Southern states.
Colt Ford and John Anderson Re-Record ‘Swingin” for New ‘Super Zeroes’ Movie
A new version of the John Anderson classic 'Swingin'' appears in the upcoming movie 'Super Zeroes.' The legendary country singer re-cut the song with Colt Ford and created a song that truly blends the two singer's unique styles. During an interview shared exclusively with Taste of Country, Ford and Anderson explain the history of the song and the new recording.
Jake Owen, ‘Anywhere With You’ – Song Review
Jake Owen found his niche with songs from the 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' album, but the unidirectional theme is wearing thin with the arrival of his new single 'Anywhere With You.' There's a thread of spontaneity and nostalgia throughout all of Owen's most recent hits. He is the essence of carefree, which is refreshing... but no longer surprising.
Miranda Lambert’s ‘Mama’s Broken Heart’ Lyric Video Details a Woman Scorned
It doesn't seem like it would be possible for a country singer to capture his or her personality in a simple lyric video. But somehow, Miranda Lambert overcame the odds when she released a quirky video that spells out every word to her tune 'Mama's Broken Heart.'

Although nothing could ever fill the deep void left in the small town, many individuals -- including country's own Kenny Chesney -- are finding ways to lend their support amidst devastation.
Worst Songs Ever Recorded
January 14, 2013 I was flipping channels on my television this past weekend and I came across some of the music channels I have on my Dish TV package. I think I heard what could have been one of the worst songs in my life! I had never heard it before. It was a song from 1972 from the group 'Chakachas' called 'Jungle Fever'.
Billy Ray Cyrus, ‘Hillbilly Heart’ – Song Review
Billy Ray Cyrus evokes sounds of the Mississippi Delta with his new single 'Hillbilly Heart.' The song leans against a big, bad, foot-stompin' guitar lick before the singer reveals his best blues voice. The result is ugly ... in a good way.
Brad Paisley Pens Hilarious New ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Theme Song
Brad Paisley is getting ready to release a new album, but the highlight of his 'Jimmy Kimmel' appearance this week was the new theme song he wrote for America's best-known redneck child -- 'The Ballad of Honey Boo Boo.'
