- If you’ve ever wanted to hear 2003 Nashville Star winner Buddy Jewell sing country classics, you’re in luck. Alternatively, country classics still exist in their original versions.
- Pat Green’s Home will be out August 14.
- The Steep Canyon Rangers will release Radio on August 28. Jerry Douglas produced.
- Ken Morton Jr. is on a hot streak with his Saving Country Music contributions. His latest is an interview with Chris Stapleton.
- Karlie Justus Marlowe reviewed a Chris Stapleton show in Raleigh for Indy Week. Bonus: Her write-up includes a Stapleton joke about Reba’s red dress.
- For the Country Record offers a necessary defence/defense of negative reviews.
- The three-hour CMA Music Festival television special will air August 4 on ABC. The show will once again be subtitled “Country’s Night to Rock,” thus ruining my birthday.

- John Anderson announced some tour dates. If he comes to your area and you miss it, you’ll wish you could have been there for that.

Okay, y’all, could we please either add new material to the email blast or take a day or so off if there is nothing new. This repeat content in your emails is getting old really fast. None of us really needs more email, especially when it contains stale content.
Thanks.

Already troubleshot this privately with RW, but for everyone else:
To those who were experiencing this issue, I apologize.
A couple dozen people were signed up under both the old and new email systems, so they’d get posts as soon as they were published (new system) and again sometime the following morning (old system). I went through and unsubscribed all the duplicate addresses myself, so everyone should just be getting stuff once now.
