It was just one year ago today that we first said hello to The Band Perry, Cyndi Thompson said goodbye and retired in 2002, just as her first album went gold, and Trisha Yearwood Lied her way to the top of the charts in 1996.

Here's the list for Today In Country Music for 12 October, 2011.

• Sara Evans filed for divorce from Craig Schelske in Franklin, Tennessee in 2006, citing infidelity, verbal abuse and heavy use of pornography.
