Today's Best Country Music Videos

Eric Church Performing Live From Bullshooter's Saloon in Weston, WI

I'm a big fan of Eric Church. His voice, songs and performances are pure country. I found this set of videos from a show Eric did at the Bullshooter's Saloon in Weston, WI last October. There are seven videos in the set. You can watch them all from the one window below. The songs included are: Those I've Loved Along The Way, Ain't Killed Me Yet, Lot of Boot Left To Fill, In America, His Kind of Money (iTunes MP3), How Bout You (iTunes MP3) and Sinners Like Me (iTunes MP3).

Sheila E Wins CMT's Gone Country 3 - Watch Her Video For Glorious Train

Pop legend Sheila E., who was most recently seen as a judge on the now defunct reality show The Next Great American Band, won the third installment of John Rich's Gone Country. The other contestants on the show were runner-up Justin Guarini, who was runner-up to Kelly Clarkson on the first American Idol, George Clinton, Taylor Dayne, Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner, Micky Dolenz, former Monkees singer and drummer and actor Richard Grieco from 21 Jump Street. Here's Sheila's first country video and single called Glorious Train. While the sound might be a little country, the video and her look definitely aren't.

I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of all the cross-over acts invading country music. Darius Rucker has been great for country music. Jewel has fit in as well. I don't see Jessica Simpson staying country for too much longer, and the winner's of Gone Country don't stand a chance at prolonged success (Julio Iglesias, Jr. - Season One and Sebastian Bach - Season Two). Kid Rock is a superstar no matter what he does, but he wasn't trying to record a country album. He just happened to record a song that country music liked. What are your thoughts about cross-over acts invading country music?
