March 6 – Legendary performer George Jones, in the midst of a comeback this year, is seriously injured when he crashed his Lexus into a bridge.
The song cements Lonestar's status as the top country band for pop-styled ballads, and further fueled the debate as to what is considered "real country." In fact, by year's end, "Amazed" is gaining popularity on CHR and adult contemporary stations (in re-mixed versions, which excised the steel guitar).

He has been around Christian music for about as long as I've been alive, beginning with a band he formed in Arkansas before being invited to join The Imperials in 1977.

Russ has come back to the Christian music scene after a four year sabbatical, and with a CD that shows not only the diverse talent of this artist, but also his dedication and love for God.

With a lineage that goes back to the days of the very first "alternative country" movement of the late '60s, the band's membership is a unique mix of primarily middle-aged (but still youthful) men and two young women whose sound slices through many decades.
Everything from the country swing of Bob Wills and Adolf Hofner to classic '40s and '50s C&W to the later hippie country of Commander Cody and the early Asleep at the Wheel and a whole lot more is fair game.
But if there were any justice in the musical world, The Cornell Hurd Band would be selling albums and touring America with the same popularity that acts who are far less musical and enjoyable somehow manage to find.

If you wanted a model for the perfect Broadway musical, it very well could be Meredith Willson's "The Music Man." Even though it is 32 years old, it still contains all that's necessary in a musical and remains a true classic of American theater.
There's music ranging from romantic ballads like "Till There Was You" and "Goodnight, My Someone" to syncopated delights such as "Pickalittle" and the opening "Rock Island" to big-chested songs like "Trouble" and "Seventy-Six Trombones." Throw in a number like "Gary, Indiana" sung by a third-grader and you've got an unbeatable combination.
No wonder that "Music Man" won five Tony awards after its 1957 opening, became a hit motion picture and is one of those shows like "Our Town" that defines American culture.

Despite the trends that transformed country music over the second half of the twentieth century, George Jones continued to thrill audiences with his traditional "honky-tonk" voice, which remained a steady force in the industry from the 1950s onward.
His father worked as a pipe fitter and truck driver to support the family during the Depression, but young George was surrounded by music as a child.
His mother played the piano at church, and the entire family listened to country music on the radio, especially the "Grand Ole Opry" broadcast from Nashville, and Jones came of age listening to musical heroes Floyd Tillman, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff, and Bill Monroe.
