Hey everybody! I'm Kelly Sutton! So glad you’ve joined us for another Inside Music Row! We’ve got plenty of entertainment headlines for you, so let’s get started! Country music legend Crystal Gayle has a new exhibit open now at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The “When I Dream” exhibit features plenty of fashion statements, awards, letters, family photos, and more from her incredible career. Look for the exhibit to run through November.
The Grand Ole Opry group member Old Crow Medicine Show is set to release a new album full of catchy melodies and humorous lyrics. “Remedy” will hit stores July first, although the group will hit the road this week for their largest ever tour. Look for the tour to hit up plenty of North American dates this summer before heading over to Europe in October.
Alan Jackson is still making incredible music, and his latest release is now the title track on a movie soundtrack. “A Million Ways To Die” will be available next week both physically and digitally, just before the movie hits theatres May 30. The film stars Seth MacFarlane, who also directed, produced, and co-wrote the project, along with Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, Neil Patrick Harris, and more.
Willie Nelson was presented with his fifth degree black belt last month in Austin, Texas. Willie has been into martial arts and kung fu since coming to Nashville many years ago. He believes this is a good form of exercise, especially as you get older. Willie just turned 81 years young.
The popular “America Icons” campaign is returning to Macy’s stores across America, this time with a little bit of a country spin. Look for Brett Eldredge, Jana Kramer, and Lucy Hale to join others as the face of the brand in the second annual campaign. The initiative benefits “Got Your Six” and its non-profit partners, which support military families and veterans. “Got Your Six” is a military phrase that means “I’ve Got Your Back” and the organization is one of the nations’ most innovative veteran empowerment initiatives.
Now it's time to go “Inside The Song.” On his latest “Headlights, Taillights and Radios” project, Tracy Lawrence has a track called “Butterfly,” which came from a very inspirational place. Here is Tracy to tell us where he got the idea for that emotional song.
