If you haven't heard the news - KNUE and the KNUE Gold Rush Show, are bringing Mel Tillis, Earl Thomas Conley and Johnny Lee to the Oil Palace in Tyler on Saturday, August, 18th. I thought I would do a little country 'throwback' and feature some videos from the "Coca-Cola Cowboy" himself - Mel Tillis. (Don't miss Mel telling a story!)

I'll never forget the first time I met Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks. It was at the "Tops in Texas Rodeo" in Jacksonville and I was bringing them on stage. It was the summer of 1991. The duo's career had just started with the release of their Brand New Man album and "Boot Scootin' Boogie" was their first single.

I was one of those jocks who knew this guy had something special.

Friends and family members of country legend Johnny Cash were on hand Wednesday morning to announce an 18,000 square foot museum honoring the life and career of the “Man in Black.” No exact date of the grand opening was announced for the downtown Nashville installation.
