ABOUT BILLY RAY CYRUS: 
Throughout his nearly three-decade career of Billboard chart success that put him in the same company as Carlos Santana and Louis Armstrong, Billy Ray Cyrus has achieved global success as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer and philanthropist. Most recently, he celebrated the highest RIAA® 14x Diamond-certified song in recorded music history with Lil Nas X on the worldwide smash, “Old Town Road (Remix ft. Billy Ray Cyrus).” When asked about his genre-bending approach to music, Cyrus recently shared, “My philosophy to making music is no limitations. No rules, no limits, no preconceived notions. Don’t try to think inside the box or outside the box, just think like there is no box.” The critically and commercially acclaimed superstar has established himself as a household name across multiple areas of the entertainment landscape, including music, television, theater and more. When one scopes out Cyrus’ trophy case, the awards are represented across all genres: GRAMMY® Awards, Billboard Music Awards, BET Hip Hop Awards, MTV VMA Moonmen, Country Music Association Awards, American Music Awards and Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Juno Awards, among many other accolades. The Flatwoods, KY native exploded onto the music scene when his first album, Some Gave All, debuted on the all-genre Billboard album chart at No. 1 and stayed there for a record-breaking 17 weeks in 1992. The lead single, “Achy Breaky Heart,” became a phenomenon and went multi-platinum. After “Achy Breaky Heart,” Cyrus followed up with back-to-back hits “It Could’ve Been Me,” “She’s Not Crying Anymore,” “Wher’m I Gonna Live When I Get Home?” and the anthemic “Some Gave All.” Cyrus knocked himself out of the top Billboard position with his second No. 1 album, It Won’t Be The Last, featuring smash hits “In the Heart of a Woman,” “Words By Heart” and “Somebody New.” His success continued with dozens more singles that redefined country music. He also enjoyed a successful career as an actor in the series Doc and Still The King, as well as the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana with his daughter Miley.

Gill, who has been touring with the Eagles since 2017, is looking forward to stepping center-stage again. “When all touring stopped back in March of 2020, it was a good time for me to take a break from the road. Now the Eagles are touring again, and that’s a blast! But I’m also eager to get back on the bus and visit some places and fans that I haven’t seen for a while.”
Featured during each evening’s concert will be singer Wendy Moten. Moten, who has toured with Gill as a harmony singer for several years, scored her own pop hit in 1994 with “Come in Out of the Rain,” and has toured extensively with Julio Iglesias, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Martina McBride. Gill, who produced Moten’s most recent album, I’ve Got You Covered, had this to say: “I’ve always enjoyed sharing a stage with Wendy, whether she was singing harmonies for me, or when we were in The Time Jumpers together. It’s always been my wish that more of the world could hear her, so being able to feature her each night of this tour is something I look forward to.”

In addition to Moten, also joining Gill on stage will be Paul Franklin (steel), Billy Thomas (drums), Jimmy Sloas (bass), and John Jarvis (keyboards).

Song Review:  All You Gotta Do is Dance by Gavin Lee.   This song came across my desk today.  I needed a distraction so I gave it a click.  I was so happy I did. All You Gotta Do is Dance is an uplifting tune.

"Fun, flirty with a nostalgic feel is what All You Gotta Do is Dance delivers."

We look forward to seeing what this song does when it is released on April 22nd, 2022. 

Shane Owens is celebrating the success of his song Music Man and attending CRS22. 
"Music Man is a song that explains how any musician that loves music lives.” shares Owens “There’s nothing that compares to being on that stage and living the dream of delivering your songs to people that appreciate country music while riding across the land with a five-piece band in a bus. This song will surely make you want to two-step all over the dance floor!”
A rare breed on today’s radio, Owens is notable for being one of the few country artists who deliver modern-day sounds while honoring his traditional country roots. Owens is back in full swing with brand new music and shows for fans of all ages to enjoy. Ingrained in the characteristics that launched his career, Owens continues to pay homage to his heroes while remaining true to the style his fans fell in love with. From playing the world-famous Grand Ole Opry with his debut in 2017 and appearing in many CMA festivals throughout his career, the release of “Music Man” is another reason that proves Owens can’t stray from sharing his talent with the world!

About Shane Owens:
Named by Rolling Stone Country as one of the “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” and awarded 2018 Music Row Independent Artist of the Year, Shane Owens has been building a strong following for more than a decade. His powerful vocal range combined with the emotional lyrical content of his songs has made him a favorite of fans, critics, and fellow artists alike. After starting his career opening shows for dozens of major stars, the baritone performer attracted the attention of Nashville music executives, and he soon landed a record deal. However, with all the changes in the music industry at the time, his album was shelved and never released. Just like the ‘Never Give Up’ mantra of his lyrics, Owens picked himself up and moved on, thanks to famed producer James Stroud (Tim McGraw, Aaron Lewis, Clint Black), country music legend Randy Travis, who co-executive produced his first album, Where I’m Comin’ From, and AmeriMonte Records. Never one to sit still for long, Shane Owens is currently impacting at radio with his latest single “Music Man.” For more information, visit www.shaneowenscountrymusic.com

LYRICS​​
She told me she was lonely
And it would be all right
If happy ever after only meant one night
So we saddled up in satin and rode off for the morning sun
Oh, but somewhere 'tween the neon and the mornin' skies
I saw that I was fallin' for those deep blue eyes
And I couldn't help but wonder
Could this woman be the one?
Then it came to the leavin' part
When sleepin' beauty nearly had my heart
But a cowboy's always got somewhere to go
Another song to sing, another day to save another rodeo
They're always leavin' town, chasin' sunsets down
It ain't nothin' new
Yeah, they're just passin' through
That's what cowboys do
I knew that I was in for one hell of a ride
As I drew a bull so cruel they call him Satan's Pride
And the odds of gettin' even started seemin' mighty thin
So I gave the nod and everybody held on tight
Went dancin' with the devil on a Friday night
Whenever you're in Texas
The cowboy's gonna always win
Then it came to the leavin' part
Well, leavin' Texas always breaks my heart
But a cowboy's always got somewhere to go
Another song to sing, another day to save another rodeo
They're always leavin' town, chasin' sunsets down
It ain't nothin' new
Yeah, they're just passin' through
That's what cowboys do
They're always leavin' town, chasin' sunsets down
Sayin' adios to you
Yeah we're just passin' through
That's what cowboys do

Songwriters: Troyal Garth Brooks

​Howard and David Bellamy make up the Bellamy Brothers. They are both a musical duo and real life brothers. Unlike some groups they truly are family.
 
The guys hail from and still record in Florida at the family compound where they have their own homes close enough together to be neighbors and far enough away for some breathing room. Here is a list of the 10 best songs from the national charts.
 
10.”Crazy from the Heart”
 
This song was written by David Bellamy and Don Schlitz and is from the album of the same name. It was produced by Emory Gordy Jr. and released in 1987 making it to the number three position.
 
9.”Feeling the Feeling”
 
Here is a song that most every Bellamy fan loves. It is a sexy song that has a little bit of a feel like their biggest hit “Let Your Love Flow.”
 
8.”Do You Love as Good as you look”
 
Many men feel like this when they see a good looking girl. They often find themselves wondering if the woman can be anywhere close to as good in person as they look.
 
7.”You Ain’t Just Whistling Dixie”
 
This is a love song about the way the guy feels about his southern way of life. It is a song full of visions of a better time in the writers past.
 
6.”Too Much is not enough”
The songs bass line starts out like an old soul or disco song. It then turns into a beach style song. And it works well It is a song with the Bellamy brothers and the Forrester sisters singing together.
 
5.”Lovers Live Longer”
 
This is a hopeful song about love keeping you living well and long. The lyrics at one point “Babe I read it in the news today I lived to be a ripe old age.”
 
4.”Sugar Daddy”
 
I’m sure all women love this song. It is about the things that a man feels that a woman needs to be happy. The song made it to the number one slot on the national charts in 1980.
 
3.”If I said you had a Beautiful Body”
 
This is a great song that shows the fans that the band had a great knack for catching every day things and making them into song. It is a line that instantly became a honky-tonk pick up line.
 
2.”Redneck Girl”
 
This was the Bellamy’s sixth number one hit and became an air guitar standard in the bars. The intro is off beat and works very well to start things in motion and instantly recognizable. The lead guitar part is classic and is perfect for showing off your skills.
 
1.”Let Your Love Flow”
 
Oddly enough, this song was written by a roadie for Neil Diamond. The writer Larry D. Williams offered the song to Neil Diamond and he declined to record it so the Bellamy brother took the song to number one in country and it also crossed over into the pop music charts as well.

This would be hard for anyone to actually research and figure out. There are many songs that people consider the 10 best songs. These are songs that everyone wants on their top 10 list of songs by the Beatles.
 
After looking around the only real fair way to do this is to go to some resources that list this type of data. Billboard magazine is one such place where you can see which songs rank where on the national charts and even internationally. This list was taken from research from the Billboard charts. 
 
10.”Can’t Buy Me Love”
 
This song is from 1964 and ranks at the number 10 spot on our top 10 songs list. It’s one of those familiar Beatle tunes that everyone loves to sing along with when it comes on the radio. It reached number 1 on March 28 1964 and remained there for 5 weeks.
 
9.”We can Work it out”
 
On December 18 1965 this song hit the top of the national charts. It remained there for 3 solid weeks. It is a nice positive ballad. The song is well crafted and tries to look at both sides of things.
 
8.”A Hard Day’s Night”
 
This title track from the movie hit the top of the charts for two weeks on July 18 of 1964. It has a great easy to sing chorus.
 
7.”Hello Goodbye”
 
The Beatles were masters of taking words and melodies and making them work in a way that others before them could not. This is a perfect example and also made the number one spot on December 2 in 1967 and stayed there for 14 days.
 
6.”Come Together” and “Something”
 
This record was a double sided hit with both songs getting airplay depending on the station. They went number one on October 18 in 1969. “Come Together” has a very infectious rhythm and conversely “Something” is a slow and loving ballad.
 
5.”Let it be”
 
This song crossed over many genres. It was released and reached number one on March 21 1970 remaining there for two weeks. People for varied walks of life identified with this song. It is still great to hear all these years later.
 
4.”Get Back”
 
This song remained at the top of the charts for 5 weeks. It attained the number one slot on the national charts on May 10 in 1969. This is a great toe tapping song that got played in bars by bands doing everything from rock to country.
 
3.”She Loves You”
 
On January 25 of 1963 the Beatles topped the chart with this little sing along style ditty. Like the lyrics say, “She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah.” It had the group singing all the way to the bank.
 
2.”I Want to Hold Your Hand”
 
This song hit the charts on January 18, 1964 and stayed for an incredible 7 weeks. It showed the raw energy and how the group could take everyday things and turn them into hits.

4.”Don’t Rock the Jukebox”

This is the second single off Alan’s first record and it never made it to number spot on the national charts but it holds a near top spot on any fan’s 10 best songs list of Alan Jackson.
2.”Midnght in Montgomery”
The song is a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. The singer stops by the graveyard to visit Hank’s grave on the way to do a New Years Eve show and encounters the ghost of Hank Williams. It is a haunting song with the pedal steel and fiddle pulling at the listener’s heart.

This number one song is a great summer time song. It about having fun on the Chattahoochee river between Alabama and Georgia.
