  7. Tim McGraw Lands New Record Deal

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Big Machine Records made a major announcement as Tim McGraw has been added to the label&rsquo;s roster. The announcement was made during a press conference at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville by label head Scott Borchetta. Tim has already been hard at work on his next album. It's the start of the second phase of one of country music's most successful careers, and McGraw hopes he can regain some of the momentum he lost while fighting to end his "lifetime" contract with Curb Records. Though the two sides remain locked in a legal dispute, a judge last year freed McGraw to begin recording for a new label. Tim joins the likes of Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts at Big Machine.</span>

  12. Vince Gill Disappointed In Today's Country

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Vince Gill isn&rsquo;t happy with the direction country music is headed according to a recent interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Country Music Hall of Fame member says he takes issue with some of today&rsquo;s country, saying, &ldquo;I would love to hear someone write a song like 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' rather than 'You're hot.
