The King of Country still is a big fan of being a cowboy, riding horses and roping. He started an event in the San Antonio area that is considered the Super Bowl of Roping. You can check out a story about it from the local TV station.

Dolly Parton is one of the best known country singers, male or female across the world, and everyone knows her top country song – Jolene. The single from the album of the same name (Jolene) was the #1 song on the country billboard charts on Feburary 2nd, 1974.

In a quote from the Wikepedia.org page about the song……..

Parton has said that the inspiration for the story was a tall, red-headed bank teller who Parton believed was flirting with her husband, and her husband’s apparent vulnerability to the teller’s charm as indicated by his sudden interest in making frequent trips to the bank. In her live performances of the song, Dolly often states she fought this woman tooth and nail for her husband. The name “Jolene” came from a beautiful little red-headed girl with green eyes who sought her autograph at a concert.

“ I said, what is your name? And she said, Jolene. And I said, well, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I said, that is pretty, I said, that sounds like a song. I’m going to write a song about that. ”

So I guess the story is don’t mess with Dolly or she will write a song about you. She celebrated her 45th wedding anniversary on May 30th, 2011 to Carl Thomas Dean and has said how proud she is to still be married to her first and only husband.

When a song gets covered by as many artists as Jolene has, then you know that it has found some type of common ground among singers and songwriters that they enjoy and want to in some small way pay respect to Dolly Parton.

In 2008 there was a movie that used the song as the inspiration for script. The movie Jolene was not released nationally until October of 2010. The movie trailer pretty much shows the whole plot.

Country fans were a little saddened when the vocal duo Brooks & Dunn announced their breakup, and after the Last Rodeo tour ended it was not immediately known what Ronnie Dunn would be up to.

With the release of Bleed Red Ronnie Dunn has shown that he will continue on without his sidekick of 20 years Kix Brooks. The lyrics of the song seem to want to explain why the popular twosome brokeup even if that is not what was intended.

Every once in a while there is a song that is destined for the top country song charts even though the band did not put in the normal public relations work. There’s One In Every Crowd has hit a nerve with the fun loving crowd, and Montgomery Gentry has not even released an official video for the top twenty country song, sometimes things happen for a reason, and maybe by not trying to over expose the hit song, the band has let There’s One In Every Crowd gain it’s own fame thru their fans – not a bad idea.

Golden Tee, shuffleboard, pinball, he’s got the score
that everybody around here’s tryin to beat,
he’s a six pack up when he walks in,
tells the band crank it up to 10,
then he’s up dancin on his seat,
well he’s a big mouth, yellin’ hey play some free bird,
says give me three steps and nobody gets hurt,
then he takes off his shirt

There’s one in every crowd,
that brings the party in us out,
good time charley with a harley, whiskey bent and hellbound,
he’s got the next round, but he always drinks for free,
there’s one in every crowd, and it’s usually me,
hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, there’s one in every crowd
It’s usually me, hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, hey ya’ll, there’s one in every crowd, that’s right
