NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 7, 2017) – Continuing the tradition of presenting the top stories in country music, the “The Pickup’s” 50th episode starts out by being grateful for more than just it’s 50th episode. The Eli Young Band

Trace Adkins has announced his new album
“Something’s Going On” will drop on March 31. His 2017 tour to promote
the album will start February 4 at Universal Studios Florida.
Several country artists could be seen performing at President Trump’s inauguration including Lee Greenwood, Toby Keith, and The Frontmen of Country, comprised of Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas), Lonestar’s Richie McDonald and Larry Stewart of Restless Heart. Big & Rich could be seen at the Inauguration Gala the night before.
Reba McEntire has released her spiritual new single
“Back to God” off her new album “Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope.”
The album is available now, and McEntire says fans can expect a lot of
new music to be coming soon.
