Chris Young is now the proud owner of something very special to him: a guitar once owned by one of his heroes, the late Keith Whitley. Chris tells us he’ll be feeling just a little pressure trying to write a song with Keith Whitley’s old guitar. "“There’s pressure! Oh, trust me, there’s…’cause I’m gonna use it to write with, and I mean, you don’t want to come out of the gate and the first song you write on Keith Whitley’s old guitar is terrible.” The guitar was one of the three guitars that Keith Whitley used on the road between ‘84 and ‘89, right before he died.

Miranda Lambert’s hotly awaited fourth album, Four the Record, is in stores today (Tuesday, 11-1-11!) On the album, Miranda says she has created her best music to date. Miranda says her music is definitely country, but her style of country can be tough to describe, "I think I twist it all together. There’s not…because you can’t ever pin down what my music is. Nobody ever can. And, you know, it’s definitely country, I know that, but it’s got a rockin’ edge, it’s got a soft side, it’s got, you know, a vintage feel sometimes, and it’s a mixture of everything I’ve ever loved that stuck out in my mind."
