Tonight I had the opportunity to attend the Country Radio Hall of Fame dinner honoring some DJ's, radio managers and Brooks & Dunn for Career Achievement. Two big momemts - Taylor Swift came onstage to intro one of the DJ's (no, not Jimmy Ray!). The second was Dierks Bentley performing with the bluegrass band, The McCoury's, and doing a blue grass version of "Red Dirt Road". Really cool rendition and you can tell that Dierks really likes the bluegrass thing. Don't be surprised if he hits town with this band and does a bluegrass show some time soon.
Big disappointment? Brooks and Dunn came on to accept their award and didn't even do a song, acoustically. Would have really enjoyed that considering every Career Achievement winner prior to this year has performed, at least, one song. Quite underwhelming just to hear them speak.
Biggest news so far is that Ronnie and Kix are BOTH working on solo projects to come out later this year or early next year. Lots of neat stuff tomorrow as the seminar really gets rolling.
