AUDIO: Brothers Osborne talk about how people spend the last moments of the year, and the first moments of the new year.

Brothers Osborne (New Year) OC: (TJ) …next month. :44
JOHN: “I think it’s kind of funny how we spend literally the last moment and the very first moment of every year being extremely intoxicated, extremely, because you don’t want to wait until like 12:30 to get your buzz on. You’ve got to do it before midnight, and then once midnight happens, you’re like, ‘Omigod! Now it’s time to celebrate even more.’ Debauchery is the literally bookending your entire year.” TJ: “I love how everyone starts the year off with diets and then we end the year with like excessive amounts of food. And then you get to the end of the year, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start a diet on the 1st, so I’m going to eat everything that’s in front of me.’ I love it.” JOHN: “And come February 1st, ‘what diet?’” [laughs] TJ: “What diet? I’ll start it next month.” [laughs]

AUDIO: Dierks Bentley, who will be spending New Year’s Eve performing for the folks of Orlando, Florida this year, says there’s not really a cure for a hangover.

Dierks (NYE) OC: …for that. :10
“I think January first is universally accepted as a dog. So I mean, a little hair of the dog, I guess. But just…water and stay on the couch, I guess. There’s no real sure-fire cure for that.”

AUDIO: Eric Church has a couple of hangover cures for those times (especially on New Year’s Eve) when you might imbibe a little too much.

Eric Church (hangover cure) OC: …every time. :17
“The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy [bottles], because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time.”

AUDIO: Jennifer Nettles says she’s looking forward to the release of her new album, That Girl, right after the first of the year.

Jennifer Nettles (New Year 2014) OC: …a musician. :57
“I’m excited in the time factor of the release of my album symbolically right at the New Year. It’s in January, January 14^th, by the way! I’m excited for it to come out then, because I think that’ll be a new chapter. I think deciding to do this solo project and writing for it and recording it and the whole process has definitely been and will continue to be a work in progress. But out of that whole book, this is a new chapter will be when I actually put the album out there and fans can get it, so I’ll be excited about that. I’m going to be going on tour to support it starting in February, which will be exciting to get to play all these songs live and watch how they evolve in front of a crowd and to connect again with my fans in that way, ‘cause I love performing live. It’s actually my favorite part of getting to be a musician.”

AUDIO: Kacey Musgraves has her own hangover cure.

Kacey Musgraves (NYE) OC: …water. Yup! :32
“Coconut water is a major help with hangovers and also, a lot of times we go and eat Vietnamese fuh. It’s a soup, and it’s got this awesome broth. You can get different things in it or whatever, but for some reason, it’s just like…it’s almost like a chicken noodle soup kind of an idea, you know, but it’s good. That’s good for hangovers too. That, sleep, Tylenol, coconut water and just water, in general. And when you’re drinking, have your alcohol, drink a little bit of water, drink some more alcohol, drink some water. Yup!”

AUDIO: Luke Bryan talks about his best New Year’s Eve.

Luke Bryan (New Years-best) OC: …great night. :17
“My best New Year’s Eve is definitely when my wife and I started back dating. We started back dating right before Christmas, and we went on a trip down to Florida and met some friends. And her birthday is New Year’s Eve. We celebrated it that night. It was just a great night.”
