Craig Morgan is one of country music’s best-loved artists who made a name for himself with his signature hits “Almost Home,” which was named Music Row Song of the Year in 2003, and the chart-topping summer anthems "Redneck Yacht Club," and "That's What I Love About Sunday."


Morgan says he is pleased to have his newest CD available exclusively at Cracker Barrel, where he stops in for chicken n’ dumplins (with extra dumplins!) frequently. “Cracker Barrel offers the closest thing to home cooking when I am on the road touring. Music is what I do, but country living is who I am, so it’s really nice to have them both come together with my CD at Cracker Barrel,” said Morgan. In commenting on the décor that Cracker Barrel is known for, Morgan added, “A visit to Cracker Barrel lets you get a look at Country America all under one roof.”

That’s Why – Collector’s Edition is a remarkable CD and Cracker Barrel is glad to be featuring it as our newest music project,” says Peter Keiser, Vice President of Marketing. “Craig is a terrific performer.  His ten years in the United States Army and his determination to return to the Nashville area, where he grew up, to develop his music career are admirable.”

Two of the 13 songs on 
That’s Why – Collector’s Edition have never been released until now: “You” and “Evel Knievel” Morgan says that “You” is about his wife and “Evel Knievel” is about himself, about living life on the edge a little bit. An additional song on this special collector’s edition is “Summer Sundown,” which Morgan says is a real-life song about the happiness to be found in our own backyards.

To celebrate the release of this exclusive CD, Cracker Barrel is holding a contest with a number of prizes, including a grand prize that features a four-day trip to Washington D.C., lunch with Craig Morgan on September 25th at an area Cracker Barrel, and tickets to his performance at the 2010 Great Frederick Fair that night. Complete contest details will be available at 
crackerbarrel.com on July 19th.

Love Heals, which debuted at #7 on the Billboard Magazine Top Country Albums chart. February’s release ofDailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart, where it spent nine weeks in the top position and 18 weeks overall in one of the three top positions since its release on February 1st.  Releases in 2009 included November’s Songs of Love and Heartache by Alan Jackson, September’s release of an exclusive new version of The Foundation by the Zac Brown Band, August’s George Jones’ release of A Collection Of My Best Recollection, May’s release of Montgomery Gentry’s For Our Heroes, which debuted at #5 on Billboard Magazine’s Top Country Albums chart, and March’s release of Dolly Parton’s Collector’s Edition of Backwoods Barbie,which debuted at #9 on that chart.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
