Laura Bell Bundy
Country Music's New Gunslingin' Gal
Who's the new pistol packin' country girl? Laura Bell Bundy
is her name, and once you've met her and experienced her
charm first hand, you aren't likely to forget this spitfire native
from Lexington, Kentucky. See a live performance,
and you're totally enthralled. In fact, you kind of feel bad
for the rest of "Blonde Nashville". We describe her as Kellie
Pickler, Juianne Hough and Sunny Sweeney all wrapped
up in one. Kellie had the gullible innocence, Julianne had the
energy, and Sunny had the Southern accent.
Check, check, and check!

Country Music In Victory Lane
While Rock Mourns a Legend

Nascar's big hero last weekend, was without a doubt Kyle Bush, who won both races this weekend and took home the cup. All the action took place at Dover International Speedway, and it didn't happen without Country Music in the house. J.C. Anderson kicked things off on Saturday in Dover, singing the National Anthem and on Sunday Joe Nichols did the honors.
Kyle Busch brought home his second victory in as many days by
capturing Sunday’s Autism Speaks 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race
at Dover (Del.) International Speedway.
