Twang Town Lowdown - Friday, Jluy 22nd


KIP MOORE: Makes Friends at St. Jude


Last week, Kip Moore took a break from touring with Miranda Lambert to visit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. While there, the country crooner spent time with three young patients, Keandra, Alyssa and Tyler. But what's a visit with a country star if there's no singing involved? After finding out his new friends were fans of Carrie Underwood and Josh Turner, Kip laughed and sang a little bit of Josh's hit song "Your Man."

His visit was documented in an adorable video.






LUKE BRYAN: Sharing Is Caring



While working on his upcoming album, Kinda Don't Care, Justin Moore came across a song he knew he had to have. The only problem was: Luke Bryan already had it on hold for his album. Instead of letting it go, Justin decided to contact Luke.

Justin explained in a recent interview, “So I said, ‘Well, I’ll just text or call Luke.’ … I don’t know which one I did, but he hit me back and said, ‘Man, if you love it, take it.’ And that speaks volumes about the type of guy Luke is. Luke and I have known each other since neither of us had a record deal. We’ve known each other a long time, and I’m very appreciative that he let us run with that.”

There are two major lessons here: Sharing is caring, and you'll never know unless you ask.


WILLIE NELSON: Expands Pot Line to Two New States


 

Willie Nelson's brand of premium pot, Willie's Reserve, will be available in Washington state this month and Colorado in August.

He says, "Now that legalization is spreading across the country, there's a great opportunity to build a company that can help a lot of people. I hope it gives social justice to those who are incarcerated for doing what we're now doing legally. I am also committed to have our crops farmed in an environmentally responsible way, to revitalize small farms and to grow it as clean as possible."

To celebrate, Willie will perform this Saturday at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington and July 30th at Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Greenwood, Colorado.


BLAKE SHELTON: Shares Hilarious Brief Thoughts



A new Gildan promo starring Blake Shelton has been released, and it's even funnier than the others. He's been promoting the underwear brand for over a year now and he's gearing up to release a series of commercials. If they're anything like this one, which is appropriately titled "Brief Thoughts by Blake Shelton," fans are in for a lot of laughs. (He even makes the camera guy laugh during his last "thought.")
