Ronnie Milsap Fans Delight: New Gospel CD Drops March 10
Back in the day I was two-stepping at the Winchester to some of Ronnie Milsap's greatest country hits, from "I'm a Stand By Your Woman Man" to "Smokey Mountain Rain." Good times!
In comparison to chart-topping heydays of the 70s and 80s, the next two decades were kind of quiet by Ronnie standards, but we're pleased announce hes back with Then Sings My Soul, a collection of gospel songs scheduled for release on March 10.
I'm looking forward to the CD because Ronnie has the track-record to deliver what could be the gospel release of the year. His accomplishments include 40 # 1 hits, more than 25 million records sold, seven Grammy Awards, four Academy of Country Music Awards and eight Country Music Association Awards.
Visit the website at http://www.ronniemilsap.com/ to listen to clips from the new CD and to sign up for his free email newsletter and to check for upcoming tour dates.

Heidi Newfield Scores 5 Academy of Country Music Award Nominations
Heidi Newfield and her big summer hit "Johnny & June" scored five Academy of Country Music Award nominations.
Last May I blogged about the former Trick Pony singer when I first heard Newfield's soulful story about a love like Johnny and June, writing: "Heidi Newfield has a great big hit with her new song 'Like Johnny & June.' I heard it on the radio on Saturday for the first time. Even though I had arrived at my destination (the grocery store) I stayed in the car to listen to the entire song. Awesome!"
The usual suspects are up for Entertainer of the Year, only this time they are joined by Carrie Underwood.
When was the last time a female won Entertainer of the Year? The Dixie Chicks won the title in 2000, Shania Twain won in 1999, and Reba took home the honor in 1994. Barbara Mandrell won in 1980, Dolly took the title in 1977, and Loretta Lynn was the first woman to receive the honor in 1975. Country music superstars all, these talented women.
Reba is hosting the big event on April 4.
And the nominees are:
