Trisha Yearwood’s New Cookbook Is Available Now
Trisha Yearwood‘s new cookbook Easy Comfort Food For Friends & Family is available now!
Trisha admits that the new cookbook is the result of being home during the quarantine, “I wrote this last year when we were all home, and it was really great ’cause I would get up in the morning…and I would have my coffee…and I would sit down and either work on a recipe that I was going to cook that day and test that day and tweak that day or whatever. And then really a lot of the writing of the stories came after I got the recipes done.”
To celebrate the release, Trisha headed to The Kelly Clarkson Show this week to talk about the new cookbook with her friend, Kelly Clarkson.

Alan Jackson Reveals Medical Issue That He’s Lived with for a Decade
Alan Jackson appeared on The Today Show for an interview with Jenna Bush Hager where he revealed that for a decade he’s been living with a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
During the interview Alan shared “I have this neuropathy and neurological disease…it’s genetic…that I inherited from my daddy. There’s no cure for it, but it’s been affecting me for years. And it’s getting more and more obvious. And I know I’m stumbling around on stage. And now I’m having a little trouble balancing, even in front of the microphone, and so I just feel very uncomfortable.”
Even with sharing this deeply personal news, Alan joked about the irony that this disease’s acronym is C-M-T, since CMT, Country Music Television, played such a huge part of his life and career.
Alan shared with Jenna during his Today Show interview that “It’s not going to kill me. It’s not deadly, but it’s related (to) muscular dystrophy and Parkinson’s disease.”
Alan added, “I don’t want people to be sad for me; it’s just part of life…I’ve had a wonderful, beautiful life. I’ve been so blessed. It’s just good to put it out there in the open. In some ways, it’s a relief.”

Zac Brown Band Pauses The Comeback Tour
Zac Brown sent a message out to fans this morning that affects the fate of Zac Brown Band‘s The Comeback tour.
“To all our fans,
I have made the very difficult decision to pause Zac Brown Band’s ‘The Comeback Tour.’ Despite taking precautions, I’ve tested positive for COVID-19. I am deeply disappointed this has happened, as touring is our life and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job. The bottom line is that I want to take every precaution to put the health and safety of our fans and crew first. We will resume the tour as soon as I have finished the CDC-mandated quarantine and it is safe for our band members and crew to do so.
I am grateful to our fans for understanding this decision, as well as everyone on the front lines who can’t stay at home because their work is essential. I believe we can all overcome this together. As soon as we can, we’ll see you back out on the road again. Nothing’s better than the comeback.”
The band also informed fans that refunds can be issued at point of purchase for the following cancelled shows:
9/30 – Clarkston, MI
10/1 – Burgettstown, PA
10/2 – Syracuse, NY
10/3 – Saratoga Springs, NY
Zac Brown Band’s album, The Comeback, arrives October 15th, and it includes their current single “Same Boat.”

Scotty McCreery Lands At Number-One with “You Time”
Congrats to Scotty McCreery as his song “You Time” is number-one in country music this week!
It’s one of the tracks from his just released album, Same Truck.
Talking about “You Time”, Scotty says, “This song, like so many of my songs, was inspired by my wife Gabi as well as my desire to spend more time with her in the midst of our busy careers.”
He adds, “We wrote this back in 2019. I wrote a lot of songs, but I just kept coming back to that, I kept singing that in my head when I was mowing the grass, taking a shower, doing little things like that. I was like ‘Well, that’s probably a sign that there’s something to this song.’ So, that was a big role in why we chose this as a single.”
And it’s paid off for Scotty as “You Time” is now his 4th consecutive number-one song.
Of course Scotty knows that he couldn’t have achieved this on his own, “Thanks to country radio, my co-writers Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis, to the Triple Tigers Records promotion team and Triple 8 Management, and as always, to my fans. I have missed you during this past year while the world did stop spinning, and I’m glad to be back out on the road to see you.”
Scotty McCreery is following up “You Time” with “Damn Strait” — another song from his new album, Same Truck.

Jimmie Allen Rumbas To His Own Song on Week 2 of Dancing With The Stars
Did you catch week 2 of Dancing With The Stars?
After Tangoing his way through week 1, in week 2 – Jimmie Allen took to the dance floor to perform the Rumba with his partner Emma Slater.
While the moves might have been new to Jimmie, the song they danced to was very familiar to him – as it was his 2019 number-1 hit “Make Me Want To.”
Jimmie and Emma’s effort scored them a 27, and kept the country singer safe for another week.
Sadly, no mercy was shown to Martin Kove. The judges swept his leg, as he and his partner Britt Stewart were the first eliminated from Season 30 of Dancing With The Stars.
Jimmie is having success on the dance floor, and the country music song chart as he and his other partner Brad Paisley are now in the Top-20 (and climbing) with their song “Freedom Was A Highway”
