Has Snoop Dogg gone country?!?! Not quite, but his video ‘My Medicine’ has cameos by some of country’s hottest stars. Brad Paisley, Julianne Hough, and legend Willie Nelson are all in this video. We love that country stars and ‘everyone else’ are working together. Who doesn’t love to see totally random people show up in a video; think Jason Alexander in Paisley’s ‘Online’.

Enjoy!

Much to our surprise, our favorite duo sugarland performed during Thanksgiving morning on CBS. They performed outside the CBS studios on 5th avenue and performed like true country stars. We love them.

Check it out!

Whether or not you want to admin it, it is likely that Miley Cyrus will cross-over to country music in the coming months/years so you better start to embrace the young star. She took the stage this year at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to sing a song from the movie ‘Bolt’ which she lent her voice to. You have to admit, the girl definitely has country-star power.

Check it out.

Itunes has this cool feature where you can look at celebrities playlists. We stumbled upon Nicole Kidman’s playlist and think it’s hysterical that there are no Keith Urban songs on her list. There is no doubt Nicole loves her mans music and we are definitely not going to read into because that would be a waste of time, we just think it’s funny.

What do you think of Nicoles playlist?

It’s official! Zac Brown Band has the No. 1 song this week with their hit ‘Chicken Fried’. They even managed to surpass Taylor Swift, who moved to No 3., with ‘Love Story’ (not so shabby) and she still maintains the No. 1 album…

….but back to Zac Brown. CONGRATS! We are sooo proud of them! They totally deserve it. We love that the ‘Chicken Fried’ video has been popping up everywhere on CMT and GAC!

Have you bought his new album yet? What did you think? We love him and hopefully we’ll get to see him live soon.

Thanksgiving thoughts from James Otto.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Since today is all about reflecting on the things we are grateful for in our lives, I wanted to take a moment today to say I’m so thankful for all of you–my friends and fans. This year y’all made it possible for me to live my dreams! You were with me every step of the way. You made it possible for “JGSLY” to be the most played song of 2008 through your requests, which set me up to be nominated for CMA’s “Best New Artist Of The Year.” You give me encouragement everyday, which helps me more than I can tell you. I log on here and read your posts everyday & they mean the world to me. So, I want to thank you for being my support system & my fans. I love you all! I hope you had a great day with friends and family–and lots of turkey and dressing. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, hooray hooray hooray, aren’t you glad you’re not a turkey, on this Thanksgiving Day!

(Imagine those words being sung to a tune)

We’re thankful for all the awesome country music that has surfaced this year! Oh yea, and we’re also thankful for Taylor Swift because frankly, she kicks ass!

What are you thankful for this year?

Here’s a little round-up of what your favorite country stars are doing this Thanksgiving.

Enjoy!

•Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum tells OK Magazine he will be spending his Turkey Day with brother Josh Kelly and his wife, Greys Anatomy hottie, Katherine Heigl and about sixty friends and family. He tells OK, “We’ve got a lot of turkeys and hams, and I’m always the one out there playing basketball and baseball with all the little nephews and nieces and all the little kids”.

•Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland tells OK she “can’t wait to taste green bean casserole”.

•One of our favorite cross-over stars who took the stage at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade told OK “Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday - I love everything about it. Down south we have macaroni and cheese and the stuffing and turkey and collard greens, okra soup and all the stuff that I love. I love Thanksgiving. Then you get three football games. What a great day!

In case you missed Trace Adkins performance at this years Thanksgiving Day Parade, check it out below. We have to confess that we think he is lip-singing, but to be fair, we think everyone lip-sings at the parade. How cute is his family was standing by his side? Although his daughters look like they are dressed like pilgrims, they are adorable.
