Chris Young has revealed the track listing for his forthcoming album, I’m Comin’ Over, which will be released on Nov. 13. Chris Young fans were able to get a first look at the list through a social media campaign.

I’m Comin’ Over features 11 new songs, nine of which Young co-wrote. The project also features several special guests, including Vince Gill on “Sober Saturday Night” and “Think Of You,” a duet with Cassadee Pope. Young took the helm on the new project, co-producing for the first time along with Corey Crowder.

“Making this record, it just feels different,” Young said. “Nothing changed for the sake of change. It changed because it was the right way to go. This is the first time I’ve co-produced. Half the songs on the record were written by me, Corey (Crowder) and Josh (Hoge). That became the nucleus of this record, and that was really different for me.”

Gary Rossington, founding member and guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd, is recovering at home following heart surgery on Thursday (Oct. 8).

Rossington suffered a heart attack last week, although he is expected to make a full recovery, according to the band’s management.

The band’s next concert will take place on Nov. 7 in Montgomery, Ala. Refunds are being offering for a cancelled show in Terre Haute, Ind., originally scheduled for Friday (Oct. 16). However, a concert in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., originally set for Saturday will be rescheduled for 2016.

“I just wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes and support. I am feeling better and taking it one day at a time and getting excellent care and support from my doctor and family.

I will be back before you know it!

It’s gonna take more than a lil ole heart attack to keep me down… Much love and see you all soon!” -Gary

The construction cranes in Nashville have caught the eye of the New York Times, which published a story today (Oct. 14) about the changes in the city’s skyline.

Much of the article’s focus covers the growth in the Gulch and downtown, although other neighborhoods are spotlighted as well. In the piece written by Keith Schneider, the story notes:

Even Music Row, the renowned neighborhood of recording studios and understated 20th-century music industry office buildings, has been affected. At the center of the temperate enclave, which once was set apart from the escalating construction clamor, is a 96,000-square-foot, five-story, $31 million office building nearing completion that will serve music production companies and talent representatives, including SESAC, a performing rights group that is moving from its old headquarters a block away.
