Conway Twitty is taking fans on a journey through his personal and career highlights. 'Conway Twitty: The Man, The Music, The Legend,' a musical based on the legendary country singer's life, premiered in Nashville last weekend. It features more than 30 songs and narrative by actresses portraying Conway's daughters, Joni and Kathy Twitty. The girls, portrayed by Tiffany Leigh Baldwin and Amber Hayes, tell stories both funny and heartwarming about their dad, recalling the time he painted lemons on a brand new car because the dealership wouldn't make the necessary repairs to it. They also remember stories from the road, their brief move to California while Conway pursued acting, and touching family moments of Conway as a father and husband.

Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart, who hit the concert stage together in the early 1990s on the No Hats tour, are getting set to do it again. The two have announced a joint fall tour, set to start November 1 in Temecula, Calif.

As part of each show, Tritt and Stuart will perform unplugged renditions of the hits they scored together, including the No. 2 song, 'The Whiskey Ain't Workin',' 'This One's Gonna Hurt You (For a Long, Long Time)' and 'Honky-Tonkin's What I Do Best,' along with their numerous individual hits.

The choice of Sarah Palin as the Republicans' vice presidential candidate has evoked political aspirations in Rosanne Cash ... at least sarcastically. In an open letter to The Nation, Cash writes that she would like to replace Palin on the GOP ticket.

"I feel confident that John McCain will see that the very attributes he desired in his VP choice can be met, and even exceeded in some areas, by me," she writes.

The eldest daughter of Johnny Cash and a Grammy-winning singer/songwriter herself, Cash goes on to outline her resume, highlighting similarities and differences between herself and Palin on key political issues. For instance, on reproductive issues, Cash writes, "I also believe that a teenager's pregnancy is a 'private family matter.' In fact, I believe that every woman's pregnancy is a 'private, family matter.' (I bet the GOP never thought of making that leap!)"

Huck Paisley will soon have a little brother or sister. Brad Paisley and wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley have announced they're expecting their second child in April.

"We're having so much fun with our little boy Huck, and we are thrilled that he will have a sibling," Kimberly tells PEOPLE. "He's going to be a great brother."

Brad and Kimberly were married in March of 2003. Their little boy was born in February of last year.

Alan Chang and Amy Foster talked to The Boot about the hit song they wrote with Michael Buble. After Buble made 'Home' a No. 1 pop hit, Blake Shelton covered the song, making it a No. 1 country hit, as well.

Alan: He [Michael] had the first few lines of the song written when he came to sound check one day. He was expressing the sentiment we've all felt of wanting to be home after being gone for a long period of time. When I first heard what he had to say, I felt it might be too much of a complaint, especially since it was about being stuck in Europe, where we happened to be. I thought to myself, 'Oh great, complain about being stuck in Europe.' But I thought basically it was a good idea, so I figured I'd just go with it and try to come up with music that would fit that theme.

Billy Currington celebrates the release of his long-awaited new album, 'Little Bit of Everything,' today. When The Boot met up with him on a sunny Nashville afternoon to talk about new music, we let the conversation get a little more intimate, talking about his sex symbol status, celebrity crush and his affinity for all things grape.


Do you have any guilty pleasures?

Late nights with about three bottles of red wine.

Although Curb Records released Tim McGraw's third greatest hits package last week, McGraw wants fans to know he had nothing to do with the collection, and he's unhappy about its release.

"I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music," McGraw said in a statement released Tuesday.

McGraw has been working on a new studio album for more than a year, and he debuted three new songs on this year's Live Your Voice Tour. While it was his desire to have a new record out this fall, Curb decided instead to release a collection of hits, thereby extending McGraw's recording contract term.

You will determine whether it's Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood or Rascal Flatts who released the best country album of the past year. The 2008 American Music Awards nominees were announced Tuesday, with those three artists leading the pack of country nods, with two each. For the second year in a row, it will be fans who determine the AMA winners by voting online.

Brooks will also compete with Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley for the title of Favorite Male Country Artist. Underwood is up against Reba McEntire and Taylor Swift for Favorite Female Country Artist. Rascal Flatts is up for Favorite Band, Duo or Group alongside Sugarland and Brooks & Dunn. (See the full list of nominees, after the jump.)

LeAnn Rimes will soon lock lips with someone other than her husband! But don't worry, it's all an act. The singer is set to star in a steamy Lifetime television movie, based on the Norah Roberts novel, 'Northern Lights.' Rimes will play the character of Meg Galloway, a pilot who is plagued by family and romantic troubles.

"She's a very complex individual -- kind of a tough girl, bad ass," Rimes tells Music City TV. "She falls in love with a new guy in town."

"I'm proud to be part of such a distinguished group of people, a talented group of people," Reba McEntire told the star-studded crowd as she accepted the Golden Note Award at the 46th Annual ASCAP Country Music Awards Monday night in Nashville. "I'm an entertainer by trade but I love to be entertained, and I've had such a good time here tonight."

Hosted by ASCAP's Nashville chief Connie Bradley, the event honored ASCAP's top country songwriters and publishers. Alan Jackson took home one of the night's top honors --Songwriter/Artist of the Year, while Dave Berg took home the coveted Songwriter of the Year award. The Billy Currington hit, 'Good Directions,' penned by Rachel Thibodeau and Luke Bryan, won ASCAP Song of the Year, and EMI Music was named ASCAP's Country Publisher of the Year.
