Trace Adkins has released a song that may become the anthem for voters this election.
It's called “Tough People Do” and Trace performed it live in Tampa, FL at a charity event following the Republican National Convention (RNC). Trace calls it a "a song for all of us.” The message in the song is “tough times don’t last, tough people do.” As Trace told ABC News Radio, “I’m just really proud of the song, and to me, the song just says — sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are, where we come from and what our history is. We’ve made it through tougher times than this.” He told USA Today’s Brian Mansfield that he was reminded of his own lineage while recording the song. “My grandma was the toughest old woman I ever saw in my life,” Trace told Mansfield. “She’d still work in the garden with an old push-plow until her late 70s.” Check out the “Tough People Do” lyric video below…

Brantley Gilbert has made a ton of money in the past year but he has not done a lot of frivolous buying, till now. Brantley says he bought some land in his hometown. “I’m actually building a house in my hometown. It’s my dream house. It’s everything I’ve wanted. It’s not huge, it’s not huge at all, but its right between Jefferson and Maysville and I love the location.” Brantley admits he’s not really a big spender, so at one point he considered just buying a trailer to park on the land, but fortunately, he says his manager told him he had the money to just build the house. 
Taylor Swift is giving us more details on her new album, Red, coming out October 22nd. There will be sixteen songs on the album…and getting it down to that number was difficult. Taylor says, “I ended up having to pick from between thirty to thirty-five songs that I’d written that I really wanted to make an album, and it was really hard to get it down to sixteen.” The good news is, Taylor says fans will have access to even more new music beyond the 16 songs on the album through bonus tracks.
Justin Moore says there are two things he absolutely must have when he’s out on tour: Coffee and an Arizona Razorback’s neon sign. Justin says the coffee keeps him awake, “If we play those real late shows, I’m used to being in bed by ten or ten-thirty, being off the road, so I have to have coffee.” About the Razorback sign, Justin says, “I got a neon sign that I got from a bar I played in Texarkana, Arkansas one time. The bar owner was a Texas Longhorn fan so he was happy to get it out of his club. So, we always have that.” Justin will hit the road with Eric Church this fall for the final leg of the Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour. They will be coming through Wichita on December 8th. Tickets are not on sale yet. Wichita, KS
