Country Music News

JO DEE MESSINA becomes a mom!
It's a boy - Noah Roger was born Monday at 1pm weighing 6 pounds and 15 ounces. Congrats to Jo Dee and her husband Chris Deffenbaugh. Jo Dee and Chris were married in 2007. Baby Noah will be heading out on tour with mom starting in April when she goes out to promote her new album (YAY! a new album!) "Unmistakable." You bet she'll be getting advice from the pros - Martina and Sara - about taking babies on the road.

BILLY CURRINGTON has the new number one in the land with "Don't." It's the first single from his current album "Little Bit of Everything." It's an album he recorded after going thru therapy to deal with his anger issues (his song "Walk a Little Straighter" was based on his real life when he was 12). He said he only wanted happy songs on the album, and now this one is really making him happy!

MARTINA McBRIDE will have a new album out on March 24th. "Shine" features her current hit "Ride."

REBA MCENTIRE is working on a new CD - her first solo studio project in six years. She says, "I have really enjoyed looking for songs this time around. I spent time with publishers and songwriters, plus I've even done a little writing myself!" Her last CD "Duets" is one of my favs so I hope the new one is just as good - of course it will be! It's Miss Reba!
