Joey-Rory
Last week, husband and wife duo Joey + Rory were named ACM’s Top New Vocal Duo, allowing them to compete for the Top New Artist award. This week, the couple, also nominated for ACM Vocal Duo of the Year, will perform and receive their New Duo trophy during a taping of the GAC special, ACM Top New Artists, which will premiere Thursday, April 1. 
 
Amidst award announcements, touring with Zac Brown Band and in-store appearances, Joey + Rory found out Rory Feek penned the No. 1 Country song in the nation with “A Little More Country Than That," recorded by Easton Corbin.
 
“What a blessing to wake up in the midst of all this and find out a song that you and two of your buddies wrote is at the top of the charts!” said Rory. “'Little More Country's' a song that speaks about Joey and I, just as much as it does about Easton, and we've been proudly singing it every night in our show.”
 
Rory has had his share of good fortune with writing hit songs. His first cut became a No. 1 for Collin Raye, entitled “Someone You Used to Know.” Others followed, including “The Chain of Love” by Clay Walker and “Some Beach” by Blake Shelton. In 2009, he was awarded two of ASCAP's Most Played Songs for “I Will” by Jimmy Wayne and "You Can Let Go" by Crystal Shawanda.
 
Joey+Rory’s upcoming album, Album #2, will be released this summer.
