Earnhardt fans don't get it about Gordon

 05-02-2007

So I'll put this in terms that even those beer-brave, can-tossing Earnhardt fans can understand. Let's say you're a longtime country music fan - you know, one of those Grand Ole Opry types who goes all the way back to being country when country wasn't cool. And let's say your tastes tend toward the traditional, steel-guitar-and-fiddle songs of George Strait, Alan Jackson and Randy Travis. Does that mean you won't listen to the latter-day, crossover country tunes of Toby Keith? Or Kenny Chesney? Or Keith Urban? Does that mean you hate Rascal Flatts, the mega-successful country band that 20 years ago would've been at the top of the pop charts? Does that mean you show up at a Sugarland concert and throw beer cans at the stage? Of course not, it's still country music. Maybe not the kind you grew up with, not the way you remember it, not the honky-tonk style you prefer. But that doesn't mean it's not country. It's just different. Besides, today's - more available

Famous Nicoma Park native performs in Oklahoma City

 05-02-2007

A pictorial and videographical history of the band was projected onto either side of the stage as the recorded music rolled through the group’s most popular songs.

And with the band was Nicoma Park native Greg Jennings. Jennings, who has been with Restless Heart since the band was formed in 1983, said he and the other native Oklahomans in the band were glad to be playing in Oklahoma City.“It’s good for us to get home and do something for a good cause,” Jennings said. “Toby Keith has done a lot of work with Ally’s House and we were glad to help out.” Ally’s House is a charity Toby Keith helped to establish that helps pay a variety of costs for children with cancer.

Bluesboro Rhythm and Blues Co. will present an evening of live music from the “true daughters of the Outlaw Movement” this Friday. Sisters Rebecca, Emily and Joanna Robertson are living out their rich musical heritage. Their parents were members of Waylon Jennings band “The Waylors,” all through the original Outlaw Movement. The girls grew up with an extended family that includes music greats such as Jessi Colter, Waylon Jennings, Richie Albright, Reggie Young, Sonny Curtis, J.I. Allison, Joe B. Mauldin and many others. This level of presence and encouragement in the girls’ lives has been profound, which is reflected in their lyrics and musical collaboration. Blending Rock, Country and Folk influences with stop-you-in-your-tracks sibling harmonies, Carter’s Chord emerges as a sound that makes you keep coming back for more. As if growing up surrounded by an impressive roster of musicians nurturing them throughout their childhood wasn’t enough, Carter’s Chord recently got the impressive backing from Toby Keith. The country music superstar signed them to his label, Show Dog Records, just shortly after the band’s Valentine’s Day 2007 showcase for the Nashville based label. “As soon as I saw these girls perform, I knew they had to be on Show Dog,” - more available
