• THANKSGIVING 2019: Artist Audio

    The Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth, in the state that’s now known as Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. While initially, the Plymouth colony did not have enough food to feed half of the 102 colonists, the Wampanoag Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s. People now celebrate the holiday by giving thanks for their blessings over the past year, as well as feasting on turkey and other festive goodies.

    Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 28th, and most people will be enjoying time with their friends and families, including some of your favorite country stars, such as Adam Hambrick, Alan Jackson, Brandon Lay, Carrie Underwood, Caylee Hammack, Clare Dunn, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Jon Langston, Jordan Davis, Josh Turner, Keith Urban, Kip Moore, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan, Maddie & Tae, Mickey Guyton, Sam Hunt, Travis Denning and more. They share their thoughts, memories and favorite Thanksgiving dishes.

    Brothers Osborne, who usually have their annual Misfits Thanksgiving dinner, are set to perform this year during halftime of the Detroit Lions 80th Thanksgiving Day Classic on Thursday, November 28th. The performance will be televised as part of FOX’s coverage of the game starting at 12:30pm ET/9:30am PT.

    Adam Hambrick (Thanksgiving) OC: …I was raised. :32
    “I know this sounds very cheesy, but I am very thankful for my family. A lot of the good things that have happened in my life are just a result of being raised in a family with two parents that love each other, with sisters that I love and being raised in a community of people, even outside of my family, that’s just a lot of love and a lot of care. Those are the things that raise a person up to be successful, and I am a success because of the way I was raised.”

We try to be together, but sometimes that just doesn’t work out. But yeah, I mean, I think it’s just about we eat. I eat a lot every year on Thanksgiving. [laughs] I never skip THAT tradition. But yeah, that’s the gist of it, and I’m kind of lucky. I get two Thanksgivings, because I also get to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, so if I don’t hit one, I’ll definitely be able to get the other one.”

I’m thankful for health and we’ve had safety along all of our travels. Of course, I’m thankful for the tour and I’m thankful to the fans that have come out to see us.

We all sit around and just eat all day. And I love Thanksgiving because you don’t have to worry about getting gifts for people; you don’t have to worry about wrapping them.

    Dierks Bentley (Thanksgiving must-have) OC: …for Thanksgiving. :34
    “You gotta have a big turkey. Thanksgiving is not possible without a turkey. We cook it traditionally, but when we’re in, a couple of Thanksgivings ago, we were here in Nashville, we did the whole fry the turkey up, and it was great. It just tasted so good; all those juices get locked in there, and I love that too. You really can’t, to me, cook a turkey wrong. I’m gonna eat it any way, and I have over the years. Trust me, I’ve played a lot of county and state fairs, where I’ve seen gigantic turkey legs, you know, I’ve had the flat meat. I’ve done turkey every way you could do it. I’m pretty good any way you want to cook it up, but you’ve got to have a turkey for Thanksgiving.”

    Josh Turner (fave side dish) OC: …’em myself. [laughs] :24
    “Uh, deviled eggs! [laughs] Where I’m from in South Carolina, I don’t think I’ve tasted a bad deviled egg. It’s like everybody has their own twist on it, but they’re all good, but I always loved it when my mama made ‘em. I’m learning as I get older, making deviled eggs is no easy task. It’s more complicated than it looks, and so that’s probably why I never made ‘em myself.” [laughs]

    Josh Turner (holidays) OC: …the peace and quiet. :38
    “I love being outside in nature and the outdoors, and the holidays is a great time for me to go and partake in that part of my life. A lot of times, Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a little cold to go fishing, but when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a great time to go hunting, especially in South Carolina, that’s when the temperatures are starting to drop and the conditions are getting right, and especially in November, kind of the tail end of the rut, as far as deer season. So, it’s a good time to get in the deer stand whether you kill anything or not, it’s just a great time to just get away from everything and get away from the noise and the lights and the diesel fumes [laughs] and just relax and just enjoy the peace and quiet.”

It’s just all about quality time and I love quality time. My favorite dish is some broccoli-cheese casserole and Tae’s favorite dish, I know, is cranberry sauce, just plain. Just plain ole cranberry sauce, no turkey, just cranberry sauce.” TAE: “She knows.” MADDIE: “That’s it.” TAE: “I genuinely feel there’s something wrong with me. (MADDIE: “Out of the can.”) out of the can. My parents know just to have cranberry sauce for me, like no one else can touch it. There’s a home video where my brother Mason tries to eat it, and I’m like, ‘What are you doing? This is mine.’” MADDIE: “She eats it out of the can.” TAE: “I do.”

I’m just saying. So, that’s one of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions.”

I mean, it doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it’s sweet. My mom actually makes an Italian cream cake that’s absolutely awesome. It’s homemade, and the entire family, that’s the first thing to go at Thanksgiving dinner. And my Grandma D, she makes a pecan pie that is awesome. She taught me how to make them when I was little, and I just love them, and that’s the other thing that I look forward to at Thanksgiving dinner, and I love them both so much!”

    Audio / Travis Denning says Thanksgiving is one of his favorite times of the year.

    Download

    Travis Denning (Thanksgiving) OC: …love Thanksgiving. :43
    “Thanksgiving actually is probably one of my favorite moments of the year, and the reason is actually because just about every Friday after Thanksgiving, I would play a small acoustic show at this bar in my hometown and it’s always so much fun. So many of my old friends come and it’s packed and it’s super loose and super fun and everybody’s just enjoying it. I might play three of my songs, and then I just try to figure out how many old country songs I can sing. That’s so fun, because you’re coming off spending so much time with your family and then you get this little time to go spend with your friends. I think it’s just great because you get to knock out so much like reconnecting and fellowship. I love Thanksgiving.”

  • LAUREN ALAINA DANCES THE FOXTROT INTO THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS ON DANCING WITH THE STARS (brown bag interview).

    Lauren Alaina and her partner Gleb Savchenko twirled their way to a score of 32 out of 40 points for their dreamy, floating Foxtrot during Monday night’s (October 7th) episode of Dancing with the Stars. Former NBA star, Lamar Odom came in last place last night and was eliminated from the competition.

    Lauren had an emotional week after flying to Nashville with Gleb and performing at the legendary Tootsies on the famous Broadway. She learned her cousin Holly, who she describes as more like a sister to her, was in a coma following surgery for a brain bleed. While she still hasn’t “woken up” from the coma, she is responding in subtle ways to the doctors.

    Next week is Disney Week, so we’re sure Lauren will dazzle as one of the beautiful princesses. In the meantime, make sure to tune in to Dancing With the Stars on Monday (October 7th) at 8pm ET/7pm CT on ABC…AND don’t forget to ADD her new single, “Getting Good.”

  • LAUREN ALAINA IS “GETTING GOOD” WITH NEW SINGLE.

     

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Friday, September 27, 2019) – Country star Lauren Alaina releases her brand-new song, “Getting Good” today- available HERE on all digital platforms with an official radio add date of Oct. 7.  With “Getting Good,” written by Emily Weisband and produced by David Garcia, the critically-acclaimed and celebrated Georgia vocalist gives listeners an encouraging, upbeat reminder to live in the now.

     

    “Getting Good” Lyrics:

    Once I fall in love then I’ll be happy

    But then you fall in love and there is still a hole

    Once I get some money it’ll all be easy

    But then you get that money, you still feel broke

     

    Once I get a little older, I won’t worry

    Then you get older and it don’t feel like it should

    I’m thinking once I learn to grow right where I’m planted

    Maybe that’s when life starts getting good

     

    Once I get a car that don’t stall in the morning

    I can make it anywhere I want just wait

    But I can see it right now sitting in my driveway

    Afraid if I take it out, I’ll chip the paint

     

    Once I get a house that I can hang my hat on

    I bet I’ll want to build a bigger one if I could, yeah

    I’m thinking, once I learn to grow right where I’m planted

    Maybe that’s when life starts getting good

     

    Oh, getting good, getting good, life starts getting good

    I’m thinking maybe that’s when life starts getting good

     

    (that’s when life starts getting good, oh)

     

    I’m afraid of both my parents dying

    I call my dad, he answers right away

    And I didn’t hear a word ’cause I was thinking

    About what hasn’t happened yet but will someday

     

    And we hang up the phone before I know it

    I’m crying over the conversation my fear took

    I’m thinking once I learn to soak up every moment

    I’ll realize my life’s already good

     

    Already good, already good, life’s already good

    I’ll realize my life’s already good, thank God that my life’s already good
