Looks like Aaron Tippin can now add the title of Firefighter to his resume. Aaron and his wife, Thea, were enjoying a quiet lunch near their home in Liberty, TN, this past Monday when they heard a call come over the scanner about a fire near their home. Aaron left the restaurant immediately and rushed to the scene. He then assisted local fire squads by piloting a dozer to dig fire trenches and helping to rescue livestock and secure the Tippin residence. After the ordeal, Aaron joked, “Tell George Strait to move over, there’s a new Fireman in town.”Willie Nelson’s got a new movie roll. He’s tagged to portray an Indian guide-to-afterlife who's on a 300-year quest for justice, in Secrets of the Lost San Sabas. The film is being described as a "wild west ghost story," and it’s being shot entirely in digital 3D. There’s no word yet as to when this 3D movie will be released, but in the meantime, you can enjoy Willie in the films Beer For My Horses and Swing Vote. He also plays Farmer Bob in the Matthew McConaughey comedy, Surfer, Dude.
The prankster’s been pranked again. Jewel got Brad Paisley not once, but twice! Jewel talks about the first prank that was timed while Brad was singing his hit “I'm Still A Guy," "He has this 40 foot, ginormous screen onstage, so I decided to Photoshop pictures of his head on women's bodies. Everything from women in bikinis to Miss Universe to little girls in tu-tus ... Brad's head was on it! When he turned around, he knew someone had been messing with his production!" Jewel's second prank took place during what is supposed to be a Brad and Jewel duet of Merle Haggard’s song, “That's the Way Love Goes.” Jewel explains, "I had my tour manager, Steve, dress up as me, in my dress with a blonde wig and everything. As the song began, I stood offstage and began singing while Steve walked out to the end of the walkway behind Brad, strutting his stuff. Once Brad realized it wasn't me standing there, he could barely get through the song!" Jewel finishes her ride on the Paisley Party Tour in November, so Brad only has a few weeks to retaliate.
It’s less than a month until Carrie Underwood brings the Carnival Ride Tour to Las Cruces. Little Big Town is the opening act this fall, and as you might expect, the band is thrilled to be on the tour. Karen Fairchild talks about what it’s like to see Carrie light up the room, “When Carrie comes out the crowd just comes unglued. She is a kick-butt singer, just a girl who has the chops. The tone of her voice is so easy to listen to." When you attend the show at the Pan Am Center, you’ll hear Carrie’s signature hits and her favorite cover songs, but Karen reports that fans are also in for a song that’s fairly unexpected, "She's a rocker at heart, and it's just cool to see what influenced her. So she rocks it out at the end with a Guns N' Roses cover."
And finally, a sweet treat for a sweet milestone. It originated in Las Cruces, and now the Bucky Covington video, affectionately dubbed 'the official unofficial video for “I’ll Walk”' has reached 100,000 views in just over 3 months. See the video that everybody is watching on the right sidebar, and on Bucky’s myspace and iLike pages. The video producer thanks everyone for the kind comments. However, the real credit for Bucky’s third hit song belongs to the writers, Lonnie Fowler and Brent Wilson, for a touching story; Bucky for an empathetic delivery; and Mark Miller for bringing it all together with great production.
