What inspired 'Pioneer'? What's in store for their future? Talk about touring with Rascal Flatts ... These are all professional questions to ask a band like the Band Perry, a family trio that just found out their new album is atop the country album charts, with almost 130,000 copies sold it its debut week. Fans want the scoop though, and Neil, Kimberly and Reid were kind enough to dish it in an interview feature we call 60 Seconds With the Band Perry.
Randy Rogers, hitmaker of 'Steal You Away' and frontman of the Randy Rogers Band, recently got hitched to Chelsea Cai Dowlearn, and they stole away to the beautiful island of Maui to tie the knot.
There were a whole lot of viewers who were crying along with Miranda Lambert when she won Female Vocalist of the Year and grooving to the beat of Lady Antebellum's performance of 'Downtown' during the 2013 ACM Awards. In fact, the 48th annual show had over 15 million viewers (15.38 million, to be exact), posting the largest audience since 1998.
The Country Music Hall of Fame just added a little more fame to its halls with the pending induction of Kenny Rogers, Bobby Bare and Cowboy Jack Clement. It's country music's highest honor, and the three join the ranks of artists such as Reba McEntire and Vince Gill.
Tim McGraw is a popular man. For his upcoming special 'Superstar Summer Night' -- which taped on April 8, the day after the ACM Awards -- he celebrated by performing with a host of friends from all genres, including his beloved country pals and a bunch of pop stars.
Brad Paisley releases his new album 'Wheelhouse' today (April 9), and a track from the record titled 'Accidental Racist' has already been stirring up controversy online. The collaboration with rapper LL Cool J attempts to address the ultra-sensitive topic of race relations, and far from apologizing, Paisley states: "I wouldn't change a thing."
Brad Paisley's 'Wheelhouse' delivers a familiar mix of humor, life lessons and scorching guitar solos, but it does it in a way different from any of the other eight albums the 'Beat This Summer' singer has released. He took his old formula, balled it up, lit it on fire and tossed the ashes in the garbage. The result is a meaty and ambitious project that doesn't always click, but clears new ground when it does.
Willie Nelson's 80th birthday celebration begins with the release of a new album on April 16. The country music legend will reveal 'Let's Face the Music and Dance,' which you can listen to in full in advance with this online stream on Taste of Country.

Fashion no-nos at the 2013 ACM Awards included one artist who went back in time for her dress and another who was apparently inspired by Dracula. The Worst Dressed at the ACMs list features at least one superstar who is more regularly found on Best Dressed collections, proving that everyone is vulnerable to an oopsie. From one plain Jane to one hot mess, these folks who were worst dressed at country's biggest party will want to rethink their approach for next year.
Superstars played it safe, while country newcomers took chances that mostly paid off to make the Best Dressed List at the 2013 ACM Awards in Las Vegas. Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift looked great, but all three came with looks fans have seen before. Newcomers like Scotty McCreery and Easton Corbin showed the style this season calls for.
Stevie Wonder closed out the ACM Awards with his classic soul hit 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours,' turning the end of the 2013 red carpet show into a celebratory country party.
