Faith Hill Digs Zac Brown 

Faith Hill is playing at a vineyard in the Sierra Foothills in California tonight (July 23), so she chatted with the local paper about the show, her family and this and that. But here's what I loved the most. She said that right now, her favorite artists are Zac Brown Band and Miranda Lambert. She cites the Zac Brown Band because "they can play the hell out of a song" and praises Lambert as "an honest singer with a spitfire attitude." I couldn't agree more. She also talks a little bit about how technology has changed things for her, for the good and the bad. But if you're wondering if she'll follow in Lambert's social-networking footsteps, I'm guessing no. In this story she comes right out and says, "I don't tweet....Read the rest of the story

Interview with Dierks Bentley 
 
If courtesy sold records, Dierks Bentley would be a multi-platinum artist. In the midst of a long string of phone interviews and personal appearances, Bentley began this interview apologizing profusely for being just a few minutes late. 
It’s no surprise that he’s fielding so many interview requests, though; Up On The Ridge Bentley’s new album, is his often-requested, long-awaited bluegrass album. Just calling it “bluegrass” is a little misleading, though, as a typical bluegrass album wouldn’t feature Bentley, Del McCoury and the Punch Brothers playing U2’s “Pride (In The Name of Love).” It’s best to let him describe how the initial idea of two separate albums turned into one love letter to acoustic/roots music, due for release on June 8...Read the rest
 

Mark Chesnutt: Outlaw 
 
The best cover albums have an air of inevitability about them: you put a great singer with great songs and of course you’re going to get magic. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes you match a great singer with songs he or she genuinely loves and end up with a project that’s very personally meaningful to the artist and his or her most devoted fans but of limited interest from a purely musical standpoint. Such is the case with Outlaw, a collection of a dozen songs, half of which were popularly recorded by Waylon Jennings. Another two were not-as-popularly recorded by him, so the only four songs that Chesnutt couldn’t possibly have discovered through Waylon are Willie Nelson’s “Bloody Mary Morning,” David Allan Coe’s “Time Off For Bad Behavior,” and the Hank Jr. covers “Country State of Mind” and “Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound.” If you liked the songs then, you’ll like them now, though you probably won’t find much reason to return to the new versions repeatedly...Read the rest of the review.

Taylor Swift's New Album, Speak Now, Set for Oct. 25 Release

Taylor Swift announced that her new album, Speak Now, will be released Oct. 25. She made the announcement during a web chat in Nashville on Tuesday (July 20). The first single and video is called "Mine," a song that is about "my tendency to run from love," she said during the chat. She shot the video in Maine and told viewers that she'd like to retire there. She also said she wrote all of the songs by herself. More than 45,000 people were tuned into the early part of the webcast, which was available through her website, her Facebook and MySpace pages and UStream.tv.  In fielding questions from fans, Swift said the single will be released in mid August and that the album will probably feature 14 tracks, including "Sparks Fly," a song she's been performing in concert during her Fearless tour...Check out more Scene and Heard in Country
