Featuring...

 

Tim McGraw achieved superstar status not long after his sophomore album on Curb Records 'Not A Moment Too Soon' hit store shelves. The project included his hit 'Indian Outlaw,' which went as high as number eight on the country charts, and established him as a fixture in country music. After a highly public split from his former label, Tim has now found a new label home in Big Machine Records. We headed out to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum for the initial announcement. Check it out here.

 

Lee Brice was first introduced to the country masses as the hit writer behind 'More Than A Memory' for Garth Brooks in 2007. He's since had a huge hit with the most played song of 2010... 'Love Like Crazy,' and he's also written other major cuts, including 'Crazy Girl' for the Eli Young Band, which also went to number one. In an ironic twist, his latest hit 'A Woman Like You,' was not one of his own songs, but it has a sound you might have come to expect from Lee. Kelly Lynn headed out to the Country Music Association to celebrate with Lee and the writers behind that special song. Learn more about the song here.

 

Marvin Etzioni is known as the Mandolin Man, but he may be better known as the founding bassist of the roots rock band Lone Justice. He's also produced numerous artists, including Toad The Wet Sprocket and Peter Case, along with putting out a few solo projects. We caught up with Marvin here in Nashville for the special CD release party for his latest double album 'Marvin Country.' Join Kelly Lynn at NSAI right here for more.
