Tennessee death row inmate Oscar Smith gets a short reprieve on his scheduled execution.
He was scheduled to be executed last night Governor Bill Lee releasing a statement on the postponement “Due to an oversight in preparation for lethal injection, the scheduled execution of Oscar Smith will not move forward tonight. I am granting a temporary reprieve while we address Tennessee Department of Correction protocol. Further details will be released when they are available.”
Smith was convicted of murder in the 1989 triple slayings of his estranged wife, Judith Lynn Smith, and her two sons from a previous marriage. He was sentenced to death after conviction.
He loves being out on stage and connecting with his fans…but he hasn’t been able to do that for the last two years.
Kenny talks about the lessons he learned during quarantine and his time off the road, “I used to be a very impatient person then the music business taught me patients and the coronavirus taught me that I didn’t have as much patience as I thought…because I love playing music, I’m impatient when it comes to wanting to get out there and feel that energy again. I feel lost without it so I think that I don’t know it just made me be still when it’s hard for me to be still. You know, it’s shown me that I can be still but I’m swimming up stream every day of my life trying to be still because…Willie Nelson once wrote a song and put out ‘Still Is Still Moving To Me’ and I really feel that way I feel that lyric a lot you know because that has been my life and it’s been a struggle there’s no doubt about it.”
Kenny’s time of being “still” is over as his Here And Now 2022 tour starts this weekend in Tampa!
Before he hits the stage in Raymond James Stadium Saturday night Kenny headed into the stands to remind himself of how far he has to reach to reach his fans…
Stadium dates with Dan + Shay, Old Dominion and Carly Pearce, and amphitheater stops with just Carly will keep Kenny moving all summer!

Not only is Brett Eldredge giving fans a new song – but he’s also announcing the release date for his next project!
Songs About You will be Brett’s 5th studio – non-holiday – album and will be available June 17th.
Talking about the new project, Brett says “I knew exactly what I wanted to say and what I wanted the album to sound like. I wanted the album to be songs that connect us all in the human experience. These are emotions that are reflective of each of us. There are songs of solitude, joy and heartbreak, and I like that tension.”
Songs About You will include 12 tracks that feature the previously released “Want That Back”
“Holy Water”…
and the title track – which is Brett Eldredge’s new single at country radio.
Jason Aldean‘s 10th studio album is a double album – and it’s fully available now.
The first half, Macon, arrived last fall.
The second half of the project, Georgia, is out now…
Talking about the full project Macon, Georgia – Aldean says “It’s a reflection of where I grew up and who I’ve become.”
After working on this double album for so long, Jason is very happy to share the complete collection with fans, “When you’re recording these albums, you spend a lot of time in the studio working on them, and trying to perfect them and make ’em right. And sometimes we live with these albums for months, if not a year, before we get a chance to release ’em out to the public. And everybody else gets to hear ’em. So, for me, it’s exciting, I mean it’s always exciting to have those out.”
Aldean shares why his 10th album was a double album, “The way music is now it’s so different than it was even five years ago, where you go ‘Alright, here’s an album, and the next album will be out in a year and a half, or whatever.’ Now, we’re trying to bridge the gap a little bit with this record, dropping the first half, then six months later dropping the second half. So this was just kind of a cool way to do that. Give the fans more music, and with it being my tenth album, it just kinda felt like the right time to do that.”
While Macon, Georgia is a double album from Jason – in a way it almost feels like 3 albums. With the 10 studio tracks on Macon, and 10 studio tracks on Georgia – but each collection also contains 5 live versions of Jason’s previous hits for a total of 30 songs.
Macon track list:
“After You”
“Over You Again”
“That’s What Tequila Does”
“Small Town Small”
“If I Didn’t Love You”
“Story For Another Glass”
“Heaven”
“This Bar Don’t Work Anymore”
“The Sad Songs”
“Watching You Love Me”

“Johnny Cash” (Live from Los Angeles, CA)

“My Kinda Party” (Live from St. Louis, MO)
Georgia track list:
“Whiskey Me Away”
“Trouble With A Heartbreak”
“The State I’m In”
“Midnight And Missin’ You”
“Ain’t Enough Cowboy”
“God Made Airplanes”
“My Weakness”
“Holy Water”
“Rock And Roll Cowboy”
“Your Mama”
“Take a Little Ride” (Live from Las Vegas, NV)
“Burnin’ It Down” (Live from St. Louis, MO)
“Any Ol’ Barstool” (Live from Knoxville, TN)
“Rearview Town” (Live from St. Louis, MO)
“Blame It On You” (Live from Manchester, TN)
When it comes to putting together his albums, and creating his music, for Jason the live element of performing it for fans is always on his mind, “You know, I think when we’re in the studio trying to record things, we’re constantly looking at things that are gonna translate live, that we feel like, if we are playing an arena, or amphitheater, or stadium, or whatever we’re doing. What’s something that feels like a stadium anthem, it feels like something that, you know, people will be out there singing, and just something that feels big.”
Fans will get to see the songs of Macon, Georgia live and in person when Jason’s Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour launches this summer.

The tour gets it’s name from one of the tracks on Georgia.
Jason explains, “I always try to name the tour something that I think is really cool and kinda catchy, and maybe is representative of what the tour is all about. With this one Rock ‘n’ Roll Cowboy, just kinda seemed like the perfect title for the tour. Obviously it’s a name of one of the songs on the record, but that’s kind of who we are. I’m the guy in a cowboy hat and boots, but when you come to a show, it’s a rock show.”
Macon and now Georgia are both available from Jason Aldean.
His current single at country radio is “Trouble With A Heartbreak.”
It’s here – Zac Brown Band’s Out In The Middle tour!
As the tour starts this week in South Carolina – Zac Brown is excited to hit the hit road with all the people that are going to join him on tour, “We’ve got some incredible openers we have Robert Randolph…is opening every show with us this year because we’re integrating our band and his band together for the last part of the set and then we’ve got some other amazing artists like Jimmy Allen and many others that will be joining us around the nation to be able to come out and share in this.”
