We can look forward to another big week of videos premieres this weekend with CMT's upcoming Big New Music Weekend with premieres from Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Reba, Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw.
While there a few of my personal favorites in there, the video that I am particularly anticipating would have to be the video for Sugarland's "Keep You." The track is one of my favorites from Love On The Inside and I am genuinely interested to see how they're going to bring the piece from paper to video. I did not see the simplistic genius in video for "Stay" coming at all so hopefully the approach towards another restrained track from them will be like minded.
CMT, CMT Pure and CMT.com will debut nine new music videos from major country artists in one exclusive, world premiere event billed as CMT Big New Music Weekend. Set to begin Oct. 2, the videos will be featured throughout the weekend on CMT and CMT Pure and will be available the same day for free streaming exclusively on CMT.com. The videos include Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova," Tim McGraw's "Southern Voice," Kenny Chesney's collaboration with Dave Matthews on "I'm Alive," Keith Urban's "Hit the Ground Runnin'," Sugarland's "Keep You," Reba McEntire's "Consider Me Gone," Miranda Lambert's "White Liar," Billy Currington's "That's How Country Boys Roll" and Michelle Branch's "Sooner or Later." Many of the videos will be introduced by the artists during segments created especially for the weekend.

I am currently sitting in a lecture which is focused on the study electoral voting behaviour. Studies of electoral voting behaviour focus on the quantification of a person's views etc and this class has actually got me thinking about voting, popularity and audiences.
Put in a different context, what is the electoral voting behaviour of the country music audience
The McClymonts – Unforgettable: An iTunes bonus track from their latest single "Kick It Up." A simple ballad from the extremely talented Australian vocal group
It is often the case that a song is respectable but the execution of the track is a little sub par. With that said, Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" isn't exactly an instant classic - however, Kelly Clarkson (along with her backing singers Jill & Kate), (well, technically Jill & Kate with Kelly Clarkson on backing vocals) make this track something more that what I initially thought it was.
So here we go, Jill & Kate along with Kelly Clarkson cover Miley Cyrus' uber pop (and minor country) hit with epic harmonies and an acoustic guitar...from their living room
Miranda Lambert recently performed some new tracks from her upcoming album Revolution (which is set to drop September 29th) for the Walmart Soundcheck series. Performances include "Famous In A Small Town", "Dead Flowers" as well as new album tracks "Only Prettier" and "Heart Like Mine." In the interview Lambert discusses the juxtapositions between writing on the road and writing at home along with how her writing has evolved along with the progression of her age. She also discusses her musical influences which range from the Texas red dirt movement to Merle Haggard to Beyonce...
The performances (as well as interview) can be viewed here
After finally finishing my politics term paper (also known as the bane of my existence), I stumbled upon Lady Antebellum's newest music video amongst my YouTube subscriptions - it was a pleasant surprise to cap off an arduous day to say the least.
This video is notable for finally allowing Hillary Scott to dominate the focus of camera (and track) with Dave and Charles featured also. it is also energising to see all three members involved and featured in the video
Carrie Underwood is set to release her third album (following the success of her first two multi-platinum selling albums, Some Hearts and Carnival Ride) on November 3. Both the album name (Play On) and cover have been released after Arista successfully managed to keep a tight lid on both for an extended period of time. With that said, here is a first look: (via USA Today's Idol Chatter):
What is the measure of an amazing story teller? I'm not quite sure I can answer that question. However, one characteristic might be the following: the ability to take sub-par lyrical inanity and turn it into an occasion.
Case in point: Reba McEntire singing her latest single "Consider Me Gone" live on QVC's Q Session
You are definitely not along in your appreciation of Brad Paisley...trust me on that. Totally agree with your comment that one would expect to laugh but cry instead.
It's a shame, because the Pickler is such an emotive vocalist and her abilities are wasted on this track. Oh well, I'll just hark back to her performance of "I Wonder" at the CMA Awards to remind myself of what the girl can do.

Glad to hear you fancied it Mis. Griffin has penned tracks cut by Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris and the Dixie Chicks and is definitely one of my favorite song writers.
