Sexiest Man in Country Music

This is a tough decision to make... Country Weekly's cyber poll asks readers to chose the sexiest man in country music. As we mentioned HERE before, we'd like to mix a few things to create one sexy man, but since we can't do that, we'll have to chose one.

Erin's pick: Kenny Chesney

Lauren's pick: Luke Bryan

You decide! Who is the sexiest man in Country music?

Jake Owen Is Hot!

Nashville Lifestyle has named Jake Owen as the top up-and-coming artist on their Hot List, saying that "it's getting harder and harder to ignore the inevitability of Owen hitting it big, and soon." That's exciting! We've both seen Jake perform and he puts on a great, high energy, fun show. Jake is getting ready to release his second album, which is being kicked off with the release of "Don't Think I Can't Love You," which was co-written by Jake himself. You can catch Jake at a variety of fairs and festivals this fall...check out his schedule here and be sure to catch a show!

Picture Of The Day

When Lady Antebellum won the Academy of Country Music's Top New Group award in May, member Charles Kelley asked "Does this mean we get to hang out with Kenny Chesney now?" He may have been joking, but it looks like the answer to that question is YES!!!
