Wynonna Judd’s mama, Naomi Judd, may be gone, but that doesn’t mean the holiday spirit has to quiet down. The country icon is set to host “Christmas At The Opry” for NBC and Peacock this holiday season. “Wynonna I one of the most recognized and lauded performers in country music,” said NBCUniversal VP Cassandra Tryon. Tryon also announced that Judd will receive the first Country Champion Award at the first People’s Choice Country Awards on September 28th. “We can’t think of a better person to honor as our inaugural ‘Country Champion’ and to celebrate the holidays with across these two major country music events.” “Christmas At The Opry” will premiere on December 7th.
If you’ve been mourning the loss of late, great “Margaritaville” singer Jimmy Buffet, you’re gonna want to listen up. The optimistic, feel-good singer has left you one more gift: another album. Even though the 76-year-old lost his battle with rare skin cancer, a posthumous album is on the way. The 14-track “Equal Strain On All Parts” was recorded before Buffett died away. And it features a number of guest stars including Emmylou Harris and The Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney. Even though Harris joined Buffet to sing a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mozambique,” the album is mostly originals. The project is due out on November 3rd, and in celebration, the single “Bubbles Up” has been released. Check that track out below...
