Lady A’s Charles Kelley has released a cover of the Ray Charles classic “Georgia On My Mind,” which is being used in a commercial for ESPN's coverage of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. “Growing up in Augusta I have been going to the Masters for as long as I can remember, so this was a special full-circle moment for me,” Charles shares. “No one can sing this song like Ray Charles, but I hope I did him justice and I can’t wait to get back home and experience the Masters in-person.” The Masters kicks off April 7th. Check out the song below.
Jamey Johnson is about to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. While performing at the venue Saturday, Opry member Bill Anderson broke the happy news to him. “Opry management told me to tell you that this is going to be your last guest appearance,” Bill shared, with Jamey joking, “I’ve been kicked out of a whole lot of places in my life.” Bill then noted, “The next time you appear on this stage you will be the newest member of our Opry cast and family!” When told he had to accept the nomination Jamey noted, “I accepted it 20 years ago! I really don’t know what to say except the obvious,” adding, “I love country music. I would have never moved here if it wasn’t for that; for the Opry keeping it alive and for the fans. I love you. Thank you.” Check out the video below.
