NASHVILLE HOT PURSUIT – RANDY HOUSER
What appeared to be the police in hot pursuit of a black Pontiac Tran Am through the streets of Nashville yesterday afternoon (3/10) actually turned out to be a video shoot for Randy Houser. The classic muscle car was spotted at various locations around the city -- including downtown and Music Row -- with several police cars following close behind. Metro Nashville Police participated in the fun video shoot that featured Houser recreating the chase from his "We Went" music video. The video was also for a good cause as it resulted in a donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. The video can be seen here. The chase hit the streets of Music City just as Randy is set to drop his brand-new album, Fired Up, today (3/11).
The new police chase clip mimics the outlaw theme from Randy's official "We Went" music video, which was released in August. In the theatrical video for the song, Randy and his love interest play the roles of the "Good Deed Bandits" who blow up a drug baron's operation and make off with the cash in their black 1967 Pontiac Firebird, giving the money to less fortunate people. That video can be seen here.
GARTH BROOKS IS DELAYING HIS ALBUM RELEASE
Garth Brooks took to Facebook yesterday (3/10) to let fans know he's postponing the release of his forthcoming studio album. In the lengthy message, Garth first thanked fans for all of the support they've given him on his return world tour with Trisha Yearwood and then asked for their patience as he takes time to get back in the habit of writing songs. Brooks said, "I made the statement that when we came back on the road and into the studio, I was not confident in my own writing…it is a muscle and if you don’t use it, you just can’t turn it back on again…it takes time…but I DID hear you." He then continued, "Because of that, teamed with the touring schedule, I am asking a huge favor from you, I am postponing the release of the new studio record…I ask for your patience as I explore the writing again."
Garth said that for the last four months he's really loved the challenge of exploring writing again, saying he's actually enjoyed his time in the studio even more because of it. He also ensured fans that his new music will be just as genuine as it's always been. He said, "This new album will be the most Garth thing I have ever done… whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, you will decide." Brooks then wrote in length about how he wants to keep fans up-to-date on the progress of his new music, promising to show everyone what goes on behind the scenes during every step of making the record. Garth said he would use the Facebook LIVE streaming video channel to "pull back the curtain on this process in a very cool and personal way." Brooks also said in the message that he hopes to release his new record sometime this summer. His full Facebook message can be seen here.
HOSPITAL DEDICATES FOUNTAIN TO BLAKE SHELTON'S DAD
St. Anthony Hospital in Shawnee, Oklahoma, has dedicated a fountain in its new wing to Blake Shelton's late father Richard Lee Shelton. Blake took to Twitter on Wednesday night (3/9) to say he was "so proud and thankful to Dr. Haddad and St. Anthony hospital" for the special dedication to his father. Along with expressing his gratitude for the dedication, Shelton also posted a picture of the new bubble wall fountain that was illuminated in blue light. Bubble wall fountains usually feature air bubbles released through a column of water, with the bubbles being illuminated in different colors as they rise to the top. Blake's father passed away in early 2012 after being hospitalized with pneumonia.
