Inside Music Row

We are so glad you’ve joined us for another Inside Music Row! We’ve got plenty of news for you this week, so let’s get started! When Miranda Lambert released her “Platinum” album just before CMA Music Fest, she felt like she put her best music forward and kept the creative process fresh. That hard work in the studio has paid off, as “Platinum” took the top spot on the all-genre Billboard 200. She also became the very first country artist in the history of Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart to have each of her first five albums debut at number one. Each of her first four have now been certified platinum, so it shouldn’t be too long before “Platinum” is certified platinum, as well.

Kellie Pickler is riding the resurgence of vinyl’s popularity with a re-release of her latest album “The Woman I Am.” The new limited-edition vinyl version of the project features exclusive cover art, which is different from the C-D version. Orders placed from Kellie Pickler dot com just started shipping, so make sure to get yours before they’re gone!

Kimberly Perry has had a whirlwind of a month! Between fan club parties and CMA Music Fest, she still found time to tie the knot. She and her new husband pro baseball player J-P Arencibia were wed in Greenville, Tennessee right after CMA Music Fest between gigs and games.

The second annual “Taste of Country” music festival proves there is a huge market for country music in the state of New York. More than 40-thousand fans crowded the Hunter Mountain Resort to hear the likes of Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, and more. Next year could be even bigger, as Tim McGraw was just announced as the headliner for 20-15. For ticket info…check out Taste of Country Festival dot com.

Craig Morgan is treating many of America’s troops stationed overseas to a little bit of Tennessee. Craig has teamed up with MoonPie to send over special packages of the Chocolate Double-Decker Moonpies with his likeness all over it. He took a few with him to Afghanistan on his eleventh overseas tour for the troops, but fans can get in on the action helping to send up to 50-thousand marshmallow sandwich treats to our service members by visiting Moonpie dot com slash Craig Morgan.

Now it's time to go “Inside The Song.” Rachele Lynae’s new self-titled debut album is full of great tracks like the lead single “Touch The Stars.” We caught up with her to hear all about the Alaskan inspiration for that song.
