Thursday was a somber day for Country Music. The memorial service of the legendary George Jones was held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. It was open to the public and streamed online at Opry.com so that fans everywhere could participate in honoring the incomparable and iconic singer, who passed away April 26, at age 81.  Artists, family and friends of The Possum gathered to honor his life and musical legacy with moving tributes. Guest speakers included former First Lady Laura Bush, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Kenny Chesney, CBS News journalist Bob Schieffer, and Grand Ole Opry General Manager Pete Fisher. Country and rock legends were on hand to pay tribute to Jones. Among the performers were CMA Award winners Tanya Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Randy Travis, the Oak Ridge Boys, Ronnie Milsap, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Wynonna Judd, Patty Loveless, Alan Jackson, plus Kid Rock, a two-time CMA Award nominee and good friend of Jones. Celebrated with extensive media coverage, Jones’ memorial was a truly genuine affair honoring the man who defined Country Music over the past five decades.

Blake Shelton Guest Stars on ‘Malibu Country’ Friday, March 1 on ABC!

Posted on February 28, 2013 by

Reigning CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year Blake Shelton is expanding his resume…again! Already a singer, a songwriter, a musician, a performer, a popular TV personality, talent judge and mentor to aspiring artists, now Blake launches headfirst into comedic acting. Look for Blake to guest star alongside Reba and Lily Tomlin in this week’s all-new “Malibu Country” (Friday, March 1 at 8:30|7:30c on ABC). Read about what sounds like a hilarious episode below, and see a SNEAK PEEK!

Blake MC2

About the Episode:
Blake MC1Reba’s wayward brother, Blake (Country Music star Blake Shelton), pays a surprise visit and comes up with a hasty plan to turn Lillie Mae’s (Lily Tomlin) BBQ sauce into a profitable business. But Blake’s dubious past for trying to make a quick buck without asserting a lot of effort makes Reba fear that he’ll let their mother down with his latest get-rich-quick scheme. Meanwhile, when June (Juliette Angelo) lets it slip at school that Cash (Justin Prentice) is still a virgin, Uncle Blake gives him some questionable advice, which Cash awkwardly puts into action to help remedy his situation, on “Malibu Country,” FRIDAY, MARCH 1 (8:31-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Catch up on full episodes of “Malibu Country” online, including “Adventures in Babysitting,” which featured guest star Laura Bell Bundy!
