cmtawards.jpgAfter noting that the just-announced CMT Music Award nominees include rockers (or “rockers”) Robert Plant, Bon Jovi, Huey Lewis, and the Eagles, the CMT blog says this is nothing to get worked up about. Really, Huey Lewis is just nominated for songwriting because Garth Brooks covered him (!). And Plant, of course, is there because of his duet with Alison Krauss. As for the other two? Well…

virginnnnn.jpgWe got a tip this morning from a reader who saw copies of the Eagles’ Long Road Out Of Eden at the Times Square Virgin Megastore yesterday, and a little detective work by Rolling Stone confirms: the so-called Wal-Mart “exclusive” has been spotted in the racks of other record stores, often at a substantial markup from the Sam Walton-approved price of $11.88. (Hey, they have to make some profit.)

carnivalride.jpgBy now, you all know about the tussle between the Eagles and Britney at the top of the charts this week–and the universe would fall in on itself if all the photos at the top of Idolator were of Don Henley and Company–so let’s talk about last week’s top two country debuts. First, there’s Carrie Underwood, whose Carnival Ride saw a pretty steep drop in its second week on the charts. The album’s sales figures tumbled 68%, from 527,000 to 170,000, although that only resulted in a two-space chart drop. And then there’s the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration Raising Sand, which, sure, had a shorter perch from which to fall, but its 28% drop (it fell from No. 2 to No. 6, beating out the Backstreet Boys) seems pretty impressive to me, given the second-week swan dives that have become commonplace on the charts this year. (It’s hard not to wonder how many classic-rock diehards bought the Eagles/Plant-Krauss as a twofer last week.)

It should, however, be friggin’ huge on country radio. Yes, the birds have crapped “How Long,” the debut cut from their 28-years-in-the-making reunion LP, onto the heads of unsuspecting radio listeners today and fans will be pleased that music has apparently not changed a whit in nearly three… More »


Don Henley Gets Dragged Into Subtle Magazine Feud

This may be a little inside-baseball for those of you who don’t care about the magazine industry (that is, 98 percent of the world’s populace), but there’s a possible war-of-words brewing between Radar and New York, and, for some reason, it involves ’70s soft-rock titans the Eagles. More »
