In the 20 years that Billy Ray Cyrus has been making music, he has scored countless accolades and helped pave the road for many up-and-comers in the country music industry. But music isn’t Cyrus’ only forte. In addition to selling millions of albums and cranking out the hits since 1992, he has also taken over the big screen, trying his hand at acting, and plans to head to New York this month to prepare for his Broadway debut in ‘Chicago.’
With each passing year, Darius Rucker‘s life as a country music star just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. As he prepares to close out yet another successful year of hit singles and a hectic touring schedule, the singer looks ahead to not only one major milestone, but now two.
Justin Moore has a standing position as one of country music’s most-loved crooners, which is partially in thanks to his charming personality, but mostly due to the fact that he dishes out the kind of country music that people seem to gravitate toward. After a wild ride over the past couple of years with the release of big albums and No. 1 singles, plus opening up for some of country music’s biggest names, Moore still has his eye on the prize.
As the year gets ready to wind down, Eric Church can certainly look back on 2012 and smile.

Easton Corbin is playing at the University of Wyoming on Saturday and much like everyone in Laramie, he's pumped for it! I got to talk to Easton about the upcoming concert, his second album and what he likes to do in Wyoming.
Remember that interview Billy Ray Cyrus did with GQ awhile back — the one where he essentially accused Disney, and the fame the studio brought his daughter Miley, of destroying his family?
Well, Billy remembers it too. And now he wishes he could take it all back.
Yesterday morning we had an awesome visit with the Younger Brothers Band in the KCGY studio. We broadcast the interview at about 9 AM yesterday but fortunately we caught the whole thing on video in case you missed it on air.
What’s Christmas all about for country music star Brad Paisley and his young family?
He’s a great person to ask. After all, Paisley, who’s married to actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley and has two sons – Huck, age 3, and Jasper, age 1 -- titled the first song he wrote, when he was just 12 years old, “Born on Christmas Day”.
Paisley took time out to answer our Christmas questions by email.
