Watch Dolly Parton's New Video For Backwoods Barbie

Posted: 14 Mar 2009 04:32 AM PDT

Backwoods Barbie is the fifth single from Dolly's 2008 Backwoods Barbie album. Backwoods Barbie the album is her first mainstream country commercial album in ten years, and it's the first album released from her record label Dolly Records. While Dolly is still the queen of country music, mainstream country radio hasn't shown Dolly much love, and therefore, none of the other four singles from this album have cracked the top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country charts.

Better Get To Livin', the first single released last year, peaked at #48, which is the highest solo position she's held on the country charts since 1991's Country Road peaked at #46. It's hard to believe, but Dolly's last solo #1 country hit was 1989's Yellow Roses. She did hit #1 though in 2005 with her duet with Brad Paisley When I Get Where I'm Going. Enjoy!

The Zac Brown Band Singing at a BP Station In South Georgia

Posted: 13 Mar 2009 05:21 PM PDT

You've heard the saying "making the best of a bad situation" right? Well, here's a fantastic example of that principle from the Zac Brown Band. Last year, the guys were stuck at a BP station in Arabi, GA, (the video says Adelphi, but it's actually Arabi) which is a tiny little town in south Georgia. Instead of complaining, they decided to break out the instruments and jam in the parking lot of the BP. The song they're singing is called Can the Circle Be Unbroken (By and By), which is a well-known country/folk song reworked by A. P. Carter from a hymn by Ada R. Habershon and Charles Gabriel. How cool is that?

If you haven't heard their newest single, Whatever It Is (iTunes MP3), check out the official video here. It's destined to be another #1 hit for the boys. Enjoy!
