That should keep us busy for a while. A lot of new music coming out over the next 12 months. And, that probably isn’t all of it. But that should give you a very good idea of what to expect. I’m seeing a lot of names in that list that I am really looking forward to!
I think that’s going to do it for today. We have a lot of mail to answer, and it’s New Year’s Eve! I hope all of you have a wonderful new year’s Eve, and a safe one! We’ll see you back here after the holiday. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @countryschatter, and check us out on periscope, too.
Back with more real soon!
