Jason Aldean’s song Dirt Road Anthem has been getting plenty of airtime and the video has been a favorite on Country Music Televsion. So it should not be a real surprise that it is this week’s number one top country song and is the second #1 from his current album – My Kinda Party.

In a recent interview with CMT the country singer talks about the slow climb of his country music career, but that the hard work of recording and all the late nights, early mornings and time away from his family has been worth it.

Dirt Road Anthem is a song with lyrics that has Jason Aldean remembering the good times of growing up in a small Southern town, and these are the times that helped shaped his musical taste and where he learned to play guitar.

Everyone watches the CMA to find out who Entertainer of the Year will be. They also want to know who will be crowned Female Artist of the Year. Oh, who am I kidding. We all know folks watch the CMA to see the hosts!

Okay, that is only partly true. But the hosts do make a huge impact. The whole show can be successful or a flop just on the hosts alone. That is a huge burden to carry.

For the third straight year, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will be hosting the 45th Annual CMA Awards in November. Many might wonder if this is a record of the same hosts for the CMA Awards. Though three straight years is impressive, Underwood and Paisley have a long way to go.

1 time hosts – Sonny James, Bobbie Gentry, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Charley Pride, Roy Clark, Dolly Parton, Randy Travis, Clint Black

2 time hosts – Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson

3 time hosts – Tennessee Ernie Ford, Barbara Mandrell, Mac Davis, Kris Kristofferson, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood

5 time hosts – Johnny Cash, Anny Murray

12 time host – Vince Gill

Whoa! Vince Gill wins by a long shot. Gill not only has the most times hosting but he also has the most consecutive.

In 2007, it was a little unfair as there was no host. CMA had segments of the ceremony and there were individual hosts for each segment. Obviously, it didn’t work out.

Congratulations to Underwood and Paisley as they were given another nod as the hosts of the 45th Annual CMA Awards November 9th on ABC TV. It ought to be a fun night and you can see some of the past performances here.

The forum is busy with all kinds of rumors and questions, but her PR team seems to have just decided to not talk about it. Now that she is actively using her Twitter account again it means that the tour will go on and the Taylor Swift music machine has started up again and we await her next single to be released from the – Speak Now album.

Some of the latest Taylor Swift photo’s show that the twenty one year old is starting to mature into a beautiful young lady, so it seems she will have to take sometime off of her singing career to pursue all of the many opportunities that await her.
