I can’t thank y’all enough.”, says Lynn of her upcoming honor. Lynn turns 87 in April and will celebrate the occasion with a sold out all-star tribute concert on April 1st.

Tickets for that event are on sale now. Lynn is one of the most awarded musicians of all time. She has been inducted into more music Halls of Fame than any female recording artist, including The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was the first woman to be named the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year in 1972. Lynn received Kennedy Center Honors in 2003 and a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013. In 2015, she was named the recipient of Billboard's inaugural Women in Music "Legend" Award. Lynn has won four GRAMMY Awards (including a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 as well as nominated this year for her heartfelt song, “Wouldn’t It Be Great?”) and sold more than 45 million records worldwide.

Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

Chris Young Preps for Watershed Fest with Playlist of Fellow Country Superstars: Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks & More
(8.2.19) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8525968/chris-young-watershed- festival-playlist CHRIS YOUNG PREPS FOR WATERSHED FEST WITH PLAYLIST OF FELLOW COUNTRY SUPERSTARS: CARRIE UNDERWOOD, GARTH BROOKS & MORE More than 13 years into his career, Chris Young has shared the stage with several of country's biggest names, from Garth Brooks to Carrie Underwood. This weekend (Aug. 2-4) will be no different for the country star, as he's performing at Washington's Watershed Festival alongside Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band and Maren Morris. Young will take the fest's main stage tonight (Aug. 2), just before headliner Miranda Lambert and her Pistol Annies. To get amped for his latest festival appearance, Young put together a playlist that celebrates those who have played a role in helping him become the main-stage performer he is today. "I wanted to make a playlist that gave a nod to everyone I have toured with over the years," Young says. "I picked 18 songs by a bunch of artists that have given me an opening spot - and threw in a few of mine for fun." Young picked two of his favorite hits from nine of his fellow country superstars, including Tim McGraw's "Real Good Man," Lambert's "Kerosene" and Montgomery Gentry's "Hillbilly Shoes." And though the crooner's catalog features a handful of romantic tunes, he opted for two of his more party- starting anthems, "Raised on Country" and "Aw Naw." Whether or not you're headed to Watershed this weekend (tickets are still available here), Young's playlist will help you get in the country zone.
