Chris Young Was Pitched ‘Damn Strait’ Before Scotty McCreery; Here’s Why He Didn’t Record It – “I know the writer of that song, and he pitched me that song first. But I had just released my album and it was going to be a few years before I could record it,” Young explained. The country hitmaker said he knew it would be a big song, but unfortunately for him, the timing just wasn’t right. “I told him to play it for everyone, because that song is a hit,” Young recalled. “I don’t think I’ve even told Scotty this. I told him I have no idea when the next single was going to come. This song was too good to sit on.” – Read more at Country Now

Interview: Constantine Maroulis of FOREIGNERS JOURNEY at Axelrod PAC – “I love these catalogs,” said Maroulis, who spent this past weekend in the serene oasis of Upstate New York to see outlaw country legend Willie Nelson live for the first time. “Going to high school in the ’90s, the grunge on the radio, ’70s arena rock- those voices always lept off the radio into my face. As a musical theater guy, I had an ear for rock opera. Jesus Christ Superstar, The Who’s “Tommy” changed my world. Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead. Those arena sounds felt like a musical in a way. This show, this classic rock celebration, is an extension of Rock of Ages for which I’m best known, and helped elevate this wonderful worldwide brand. To be recognized by my community is a dream come true.” – Read more at Broadway World
