Jett Williams made the radio rounds at Music Row Live! during CMA Music Fest in support of her dad’s box set on Time Life, Hank Williams Complete Mother Best Recordings….Plus!. During interviews, Williams got a chance to catch up with friend Aaron Tippin.
Kellie Pickler is awesome and deserves more promotion and airplay! She should be #1 at radio and more/bonus tracks included on her next CD! Why does her CD have just 10 tracks and Miranda and Carrie’s have 15 to 20 each? No wonder they sell more even when Miranda had about the same or less spins.
