<p>  Kenny Chesney Delivers Lucky Old Sun on Oct. 14</p>
<p>Kenny Chesney&#8217;s new album, Lucky Old Sun, will be re-<br />
leased on Oct. 14 as a deluxe edition with four bonus<br />
tracks. The regular version of the CD will arrive on<br />
Oct. 21. The bonus tracks include &#8220;Boston&#8221; and &#8220;Got a<br />
Little Crazy&#8221; (both recorded at Chesney&#8217;s stadium con-<br />
cert near Boston), along with &#8220;Soul of a Sailor&#8221; and<br />
&#8220;Guitars and Tiki Bars&#8221; (recorded live at the Hogs<br />
Breath Saloon in Key West, Fla. The deluxe edition<br />
will also give fans a chance to win a trip to attend<br />
the opening of Chesney&#8217;s 2009 tour. &#8220;Lucky Old Sun is<br />
a really personal record,&#8221; Chesney said. &#8220;It comes<br />
from some pretty deep places, and it looks at my life,<br />
how I&#8217;ve evolved and the way the ocean can take you<br />
places beyond location. There are a bunch of fun songs<br />
on the record, for sure, but nothing quite as immediate<br />
as these live tracks. So, in some ways, it&#8217;s the very<br />
best of what we do in the studio and what we do in<br />
people&#8217;s hometowns.&#8221;<br />

<p>WHY&#8230; As fruits and vegetables age they create gases that<br />
cause them to spoil prematurely. Supermarkets and grocers<br />
know this so they use potassium minerals to absorb these<br />
gases in order to prolong the life of their produce and<br />
now you can too.</p>
<p>These Refrigerator Balls contains a packet of potassium<br />
minerals that absorb these produce-rotting gasses, so you<br />
can keep your fruits and vegetables fresher, longer right<br />
at home.</p>

<p>                Kid Rock Offers Views<br />
      on Music Industry, Politics &#8230; and Oprah</p>
<p>Kid RockEditor&#8217;s note: More of the Kid Rock interview<br />
is featured on the new episode of CMT Insider premier-<br />
ing Saturday (Aug. 23) at 1:30 p.m. ET/PT.</p>
<p>At a time when record companies are continuing to be-<br />
moan the decline of CD sales, Kid Rock observes, &#8220;If<br />
people had good albums, they&#8217;d be buying albums. But<br />
people are buying singles because they only have good<br />
songs.&#8221;</p>
<p>As evidenced by his latest album, Rock N Roll Jesus,<br />
it&#8217;s clear he&#8217;s not having a problem sustaining his<br />
success at retail. Still in the Top 10 of the all-<br />
genre Billboard 200 chart, the title has sold more<br />
than 1.6 million copies and is currently selling<br />
more than 100,000 copies per week after being re-<br />
leased almost a year ago. He&#8217;s also enjoying a major<br />
country hit with &#8220;All Summer Long.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an interview with CMT Insider, Kid Rock said the<br />
music industry is failing in its efforts to create<br />
superstar acts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The program director at a radio station, by the way,<br />
is not the superstar,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If he was a superstar,<br />
he&#8217;d be out creating songs, but he&#8217;s not. But he wants<br />
to act like he has control and power.&#8221;</p>
<p>During his visit to CMT&#8217;s offices earlier this week,<br />
Kid Rock offered his opinions on a variety of topics,<br />
including the concept of keeping his thoughts to him-<br />
self when it comes to politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;I truly believe that people like myself, who are in<br />
a position of entertainers in the limelight, should<br />
keep their mouth shut on politics,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;Because<br />
at the end of the day, let me tell you what I &#8216;m good<br />
at: I&#8217;m good at writing songs and singing. What I&#8217;m<br />
not educated in is the field of political science. And<br />
so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people<br />
of who I think they should be voting for &#8230; I think<br />
would be very irresponsible on my part. So I&#8217;ll just<br />
keep my mouth shut on that.&#8221;</p>
<p>He further suggests that political candidates might be<br />
better off to avoid close connections to those in the<br />
entertainment business.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians,&#8221; he<br />
said. &#8220;Because as soon as somebody comes out for a<br />
politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go,<br />
&#8216;I&#8217;m voting for this guy!&#8217; &#8212; I go, &#8216;That&#8217;s not who<br />
I&#8217;m voting for!&#8217; &#8230; As soon as Oprah Winfrey pops up<br />
and goes &#8216;Ha-la-la-la-la,&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I love Barrack<br />
Obama. I hate Oprah Winfrey.&#8217;&#8221; He adds, &#8220;I don&#8217;t hate<br />
her. I just don&#8217;t believe in her, so I don&#8217;t want any<br />
part of any of that. I think celebrities hurt<br />
politicians.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a celebrity who has gotten plenty of media attention<br />
&#8211; both good and bad &#8212; Kid Rock also had some words to<br />
say about the proliferation of Internet blogs.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a real problem with this Internet thing and<br />
everyone thinking they have a voice,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This<br />
is where freedom can get out of hand. Everybody<br />
should not have a voice is what we&#8217;ve just proven by<br />
the Internet. Because I&#8217;m convinced that Jesus Christ<br />
could come back onto this earth and forgive everybody&#8217;s<br />
sins, and it&#8217;d be the greatest day in mankind ever.<br />
Somebody would take a picture of him. They&#8217;d put him<br />
on a Web site like TMZ, and the first comment would be<br />
&#8216;Jesus is a douche bag.&#8217; You know what I&#8217;m sayin&#8217;?</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

  Sells More Than 500,000 Concert Tickets in 2008</p>
<p>Brad Paisley will surpass 500,000 tickets sold this<br />
year, with his concert in St. Paul, Minn., on Friday<br />
night (Aug. 22). So far, Paisley has made 56 stops in<br />
2008 during his Bonfires and Amplifiers tour and his<br />
current Paisley Party tour. &#8220;This number means more<br />
to me this year than ever knowing how strapped people<br />
are economically these days,&#8221; says Paisley. &#8220;The fact<br />
that fans are willing to both buy tickets and the<br />
gasoline necessary to come to a show is the ultimate<br />
compliment and I am so thankful.&#8221; Paisley will also<br />
tour in early 2009, with details to be announced<br />
soon.</p>

<p>             Rosanne Cash Issues Statement<br />
               Use of Johnny Cash&#8217;s Name</p>
<p>On Aug. 1, 2008, country artist John Rich, was quoted<br />
at a rally for John McCain as saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m sure Johnny<br />
Cash would have been a John McCain supporter if he was<br />
still around.&#8221; The quote ran on CMT.com. Since then,<br />
Johnny Cash&#8217;s daughter Rosanne Cash sent CMT.com the<br />
following statement:</p>
<p>&#8220;It is appalling to me that people still want to invoke<br />
my father&#8217;s name, five years after his death, to ascribe<br />
beliefs, ideals, values and loyalties to him that cannot<br />
possibly be determined and to try to further their own<br />
agendas by doing so. I knew my father pretty well, at<br />
least better than some of those who entitle themselves<br />
to his legacy and his supposed ideals, and even I would<br />
not presume to say publicly what I &#8216;know&#8217; he thought or<br />
felt. This is especially dangerous in the case of<br />
political affiliation. It is unfair and presumptuous to<br />
use him to bolster any platform. I would ask that my<br />
father not be co-opted in this election for either side<br />
since he is clearly not here to defend or state his own<br />
allegiance.&#8221;<br />
 <br />

THE FOOT BUDDY&#8230;<br />
Like the Ped Egg, but 1/2 the Price</p>
<p>Retail Price: $9.99<br />
OUR PRICE: $4.99</p>
<p>By now we&#8217;ve all seen the tv commercial countless time on the<br />
Ped Egg. We were lucky to find The Foot Buddy which is the same<br />
thing, made by the same factory&#8230; but at 1/2 the price.</p>
<p>Gently removes callous and dry skin. for smooth and beautiful<br />
feet. So gentle, it will not even burst a balloon. Safe to the<br />
touch and easy, no mess disposal.</p>
<p>- Comfortable ergonomic design<br />
- Over 135 stainless steel micro files<br />
- No mess- collects shavings<br />
- Safe to the touch<br />
- Includes 2 emery finishing pads</p>
<p>At these affordable prices you can pick up a few.<br />

composed greeting that matches the song&#8217;s theme. The names<br />
 of the song&#8217;s writers and publishers are listed on the<br />
backs of the cards.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Use Tim McGraw&#8221; and &#8220;Use Rascal Flatts&#8221; lines are<br />
racked in displays that hold six different cards and<br />
envelopes. A photo of the artist tops each display but<br />
does not appear on the cards.</p>
<p>Under the McGraw banner are four cards for birthdays<br />
that contain sound clips from &#8220;Down on the Farm&#8221; (two<br />
designs), &#8220;Live Like You Were Dying&#8221; and &#8220;My Next Thirty<br />
Years.&#8221; The remaining two are categorized as &#8220;Love&#8221; cards<br />
and feature clips from &#8220;Just to See You Smile&#8221; and &#8220;I<br />
Like It, I Love It.&#8221;</p>
<p>For Rascal Flatts, &#8220;Mayberry,&#8221; &#8220;Fast Cars and Freedom&#8221;<br />
and &#8220;Here&#8217;s to You&#8221; are the birthday clips, while &#8220;Love<br />
You Out Loud,&#8221; &#8220;Thanks for Being You&#8221; and &#8220;Shine On&#8221;<br />
constitute the &#8220;Love&#8221; messages.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have hundreds of songs, television shows and movie<br />
clips licensed,&#8221; according to Deidre Parkes, a spokes-<br />
person for Hallmark, who added that other country<br />
artists with sound cards already in stores or on the<br />
way include Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson,<br />
Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Martina McBride, Billy Ray<br />
Cyrus, George Strait and Vince Gill. The cards are<br />
available in Hallmark outlets and drugstores nationwide,<br />
she said.</p>
<p>Because a single card requires separate licenses for<br />
the recorded sound, each of the music publishers and,<br />
in some cases, the artist&#8217;s image, Parkes said Hallmark<br />
delegates the complex task of licensing to Corbis, a<br />
Seattle-based company specializing in this service.</p>

<p>       Kenny Chesney Trained With New Orleans Saints</p>
<p>Thanks to Kenny Chesney, the New Orleans Saints were<br />
given a day off from their training camp in Jackson,<br />
Miss. Chesney was at the camp on Monday (Aug. 11) to<br />
join the Saints during practice for a second year. Be-<br />
fore Chesney suited up and hit the field, coach Sean<br />
Payton told the players he would cancel Sunday&#8217;s<br />
(Aug. 17) practice if Chesney caught a punt. On his<br />
third try, the singer grabbed a 45-yard kick from<br />
punter Steve Weatherford. &#8220;I quit growing too young<br />
to ever think about getting to have a shot at playing<br />
even in college, so this is about the most fun I can<br />
have,&#8221; Chesney said. &#8220;It&#8217;s like having a lot of these<br />
players come out and sing with us during &#8216;Back Where I<br />
Come From.&#8217; &#8230; Sometimes just having the moment to<br />
feel what it&#8217;s like to do it is the greatest feeling<br />
in the world.&#8221; Chesney performed Thursday at the New<br />
Orleans Arena.<br />

<p>* NOW A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC &amp; THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY *</p>
<p>   After Three-Year Delay, Keith Anderson Bows New Album</p>
<p>Keith AndersonKeith Anderson&#8217;s patience is finally paying<br />
off.</p>
<p>Anderson admits he was frustrated last year when, just<br />
after finishing his second album for Arista Records, he<br />
was told he was going to have to switch labels. While<br />
still within the Sony BMG family, the transfer meant it<br />
would be another year before his album could be released<br />
&#8211; an excruciatingly long delay for any artist, but<br />
particularly wrenching for Anderson, whose previous<br />
album had sold half a million copies and helped build a<br />
sizable fan base he wanted to maintain.</p>
<p>But the wait was worth it. &#8220;I Still Miss You,&#8221; the first<br />
single from his new album, C&#8217;mon!, is his highest-chart-<br />
ing song to date &#8212; and it&#8217;s still climbing. Moreover,<br />
the anticipation fueled by a three-year wait for new<br />
Keith Anderson music has whipped up great expectations<br />
for C&#8217;mon! (His earlier album, Three Chord Country and<br />
American Rock &amp; Roll was released in May 2005.)</p>
<p>Here was the problem: At Arista, Anderson found himself<br />
competing for attention with fellow male vocalists Alan<br />
Jackson and Brad Paisley, as well as with superstars<br />
Brooks &amp; Dunn and Carrie Underwood.</p>
<p>That being the situation, Joe Galante, head of Sony<br />
BMG Records, Arista&#8217;s corporate parent, decided<br />
Anderson stood a better chance of gaining the spot-<br />
light if he moved over to Columbia, another Sony BMG<br />
label. Its roster included Gretchen Wilson, Miranda<br />
Lambert and Montgomery Gentry &#8212; but no other prom-<br />
inent male artist.</p>
<p>&#8220;It freaked me out to switch,&#8221; Anderson recalls,<br />
&#8220;because I&#8217;d had so much success on Arista. There<br />
are such good friends over there and a great pro-<br />
motional staff. My first record had gone gold, and<br />
I&#8217;d had three big [single] hits.&#8221; Nonetheless, he<br />
bowed to Galante&#8217;s strategy and proved himself to<br />
Columbia by going on a six-month tour of radio<br />
stations to ballyhoo the new album and single.</p>
<p>At the same time, Anderson continued to work the<br />
road to keep fan interest up. &#8220;Oh, gosh, it was<br />
just tour, tour, tour,&#8221; he says. &#8220;We were constantly<br />
playing dates. We started playing all the new music,<br />
too. So fans were getting a taste of it even before<br />
the album came out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Among the songs getting the best responses, Anderson<br />
reports, were &#8220;Sunday Morning in America,&#8221; &#8220;Somebody<br />
Needs a Hug&#8221; (a strong candidate for second single),<br />
&#8220;C&#8217;mon!&#8221; and &#8220;Break My Heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t play many of the ballads,&#8221; Anderson says,<br />
&#8220;because the show is such a live rockin&#8217; show.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like its predecessor, C&#8217;mon! showcases Anderson&#8217;s<br />
writing. He had a hand in writing every one of the<br />
11 songs except for the catchy Foster &amp; Lloyd<br />
rhapsody, &#8220;Crazy Over You.&#8221; (Foster &amp; Lloyd sang<br />
along with Anderson on this cut.) His co-writers<br />
were Jeffrey Steele (who also produced the album),<br />
Rivers Rutherford, Bob DiPiero, David Lee Murphy,<br />
Chuck Cannon, Tim Nichols, Jason Sellers, Vicky<br />
McGehee, Chris Wallin, Rodney Clawson, John Rich<br />
and Bobby Pinson.</p>
<p>Although it had already been a No. 1 single for Big<br />
&amp; Rich, Anderson decided to include &#8220;Lost in This<br />
Moment&#8221; in his album. He says the song has been<br />
around for a long time. &#8220;[Co-writer] John Rich and<br />
I pitched it to a lot of other artists since neither<br />
one of us had a record deal at the time [we wrote it],&#8221;<br />
he explains. &#8220;And then &#8212; seven years later &#8212; we both<br />
recorded it, not knowing that the other one had. &#8230;<br />
Once it became a hit, we thought, gosh, we&#8217;ve already<br />
spent time and money on my recording. Let&#8217;s put it on<br />
the record and give everybody another taste of it.&#8221;<br />

<p>       Brad Paisley Gets Ready for Election Day Play</p>
<p>Brad Paisley&#8217;s new album, Play, will be released on<br />
Nov. 4, the day of the U.S. presidential election.<br />
Described as &#8220;an all-out guitar celebration,&#8221; the 15-<br />
track album includes four songs that feature vocals.<br />
Among them are Paisley&#8217;s collaborations with B.B. King<br />
(on &#8220;Let the Good Times Roll&#8221;) and Keith Urban (&#8221;Start<br />
a Band&#8221;). Paisley and Steve Wariner collaborated on<br />
writing and singing &#8220;More Than Just This Song,&#8221; a<br />
tribute to their early guitar heroes. Paisley salutes<br />
one of his mentors, the late Buck Owens, by adding his<br />
vocals and guitars to &#8220;Come On In.&#8221; Owens wrote the<br />
song and recorded it, but the track had remained un-<br />
finished. The 11 instrumental tracks include &#8220;Cluster<br />
Pluck,&#8221; a jam featuring James Burton, Vince Gill, John<br />
Jorgensen, Albert Lee, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert and<br />
Wariner.</p>
