True Story – Sarah Buxton Has a CD Released

Sarah Buxton has gotten a lot of attention around Nashville and the country music biz for several years now, including two nominations for the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female Vocalist award (I’m not quite sure how you can get nominated twice for that but anyway). She also wrote Keith Urban’s Grammy winning hit “Stupid Boy”. But she never had her own release, until yesterday when Sarah Buxton, the CD, came out. You can also catch her opening for Martina McBride and Trace Adkins. Congratulations Sarah!

Just Call James Otto Big Daddy

Big man James Otto and his wife Amy are expecting their first child, according to People. I guess that’s as opposed to “according to Dogs”. Anyway, James has been married to Amy for five years and they are very excited. Useless trivia, Amy’s sister Allison is married to Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus. Aren’t you glad you didn’t pass through this life without knowing that?

 

Rascal Flatts On CSI

Catch the boys of Rascal Flatts on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on Thursday March 4. You’d think if they want to do a crime scene investigation show they’d possibly think about having a Bloodhound on, not that I’d know where they could find one or anything. I’m just thinking out loud here. Good luck Flatts’ boys. Break a leg!
