Justin Moore's latest album "Outlaws Like Me" released yesterday. It includes the top 5 single “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away," one of only two songs Justin did not co-write on his 13-track sophomore release. The song is very person to Justin any way, “It was really personal to me after recently losing a few people close to me. I’ve learned through other hit songs we’ve had on the radio that if it’s personal to me, it’s personal to a lot of other people, too.”

Tim McGraw threw a fan out of his concert in Washington state Saturday night. Tim did what he does (second) best and took security into his own hands by tossing out a woman who got pushy with other women trying to get close to the stage in the pit area and while he was at it, he tossed out a couple of rowdy drunk men who were cussing while it was all happening. The icing on the cake was when Tim saw what was going on, he pulled one woman up on stage and ordered the other woman out of the venue. That's when she threw her drink at fans next to her. Tim does not put up with that kind of behavior. It was a little touch and go for a few minutes, but as you’ll see Tim takes care of business in this video.

Eric Church has a lot to look forward to in the next few months. In addition to releasing his third studio album, 'Chief,' in July, he is also anticipating the arrival of his first child this fall. Eric says he doesn't plan on toning down his music when his little boy is born. "I don't think it's a bad boy side that I try to play. It's who I am. " Eric goes on to say "A lot of people, especially in music, are programmed to tell you a certain thing or talk a certain way or have a certain image and appeal, and I've always just said what I thought and I've acted on that, too. I've never been one who really cared whether it helped or hurt my career. I was just always gonna be real about it." Eric helps to open Country Stampede in Manhattan this Thursday night.

Trace Adkins says he is forging ahead after losing his home to fire on June 4th. Trace hasn't missed a performance and doesn't expect to. Trace says his family is "still in shock" and reminders of the fire come at odd times. Trace said, "I realized I needed a shave and I had to go buy some razors. Just little things like that, you just don't even think about it and then all of a sudden you say, 'I need....oh, I don't have that anymore." In a side note, Trace's 9 year-old daughter Brianna was given PETA's Compassionate Action Award for helping to rescue the family's two dogs from the burning home.

Keith Urban did something he’s never done before. He allowed the public to watch a dress rehearsal for his “Get Closer” tour, which opens later this month and comes through Wichita on August 16th. Keith said he was nervous about allowing the public to see the blunders, mess ups and do-overs. Keith’s new stage set up is circular with ramps all around for easy access into the crowd. There is also a mid-arena satelite stage that raises in the air so everyone can see Keith perfectly.

Brad Paisley is joining the national public education campaign, “1 for All” addressing a lack of understanding among the American public about the freedoms granted by the First Amendment. “Freedom is what makes America great,” said Paisley. “I count myself blessed to live in a country where I can exercise that right every day, whether I’m writing, recording or performing.” “1 for All” was established in response to recent surveys by the First Amendment Center, which found that only about 1 in 20 Americans can name all five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. For more information on the “1 for All” campaign, visit www.1forall.us.
