Mr BS and the guy that is full of B.S.!!!

Howdy Coal Country! I hope that you all had a chance to check out the Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert concert at the East Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville this past Saturday (10/11/08), the show was GREAT! Absolutely no "down time" on the stage, no intermission....just 3 hours of fun and country tunes. Don't forget that Willie Nelson will be playing the Expo on Friday Dec 5th. Also, tickets on sale this Saturday (10/18/08) for the New Years show featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins. There's plenty of entertainment coming locally and with gas prices dropping, enjoy it while it lasts! Well, on to country music charts. Kellie Pickler plants her flag atop Billboard's country albums chart this week with her second CD, a self-titled collection. On the songs side, Kenny Chesney rolls into No. 1 with "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven."There are five other new CDs to report: Faith Hill's Joy to the World (bowing at No. 6), Craig Morgan's Greatest Hits (No. 16), Wade Bowen's If We Ever Make It Home (No. 29), Cherryholmes III: Don't Believe (No. 48) and Mary Chapin Carpenter's Come Darkness, Come Light: Twelve Songs of Christmas (No. 62).First-time songs are Jack Ingram's "That's a Man" (No. 47),Jessica Simpson's "Remember That" (No. 55) and John Michael Montgomery's "Forever" (No. 57).Continuing its rapid climb is Taylor Swift's "Love Story." It arrives at No. 9 at this, it's fourth week out.There are no re-entering albums or songs.Trailing in order behind Pickler on the Top 5 albums list are Sugarland's Love on the Inside, Darius Rucker's Learn to Live, Swift's self-titled debut and the various artists anthology, NOW That's What I Call CountrySongs No. 2 through No. 5 are Rucker's "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," Toby Keith's "She Never Cried in Front of Me,"Carrie Underwood's "Just a Dream" (making its Top 5 debut) and Kid Rock 's "All Summer Long."Do you think there'll be any bailout money left over for the record companies?
Only time will tell....Until next time, I am
