American Music Awards Recap: Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake win big as Miley Cyrus steals the show with crazy 'Wrecking Ball' performance
The American Music Awards 2013 took place Sunday night (Nov. 24) in Los Angeles. Mr. Worldwide himself Pitbull hosted the ceremony and featured countless performances from some of the biggest names in music. Awarded by fan votes, the trophies given out that night were easy to predict.

CMA Awards 2013 Recap: Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley host night full of big performances, few trophies
The 47th annual Country Music Association Awards took place tonight (Nov. 6) in Nashville. Celebrating the best of this year in country music and hosted by two of the genre's biggest stars (Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley), the CMA Awards were less about the trophies and speeches and more about the glitz, glamor and live music that rocked the country charts over the last 12 months. -
Luke Bryan Announces Schedule for 2014 'That's My Kind of Night' Tour
Just like a plant needs sunlight to carry out photosynthesis and continue its survival, Luke Bryan seems to require constant touring, lest he withers up. The country star, whose Crash My Party has been selling well enough to afford him a break from touring, just announced his first tour of 2014. Bryan took a break from his "Dirt Road Diaries Tour" so that he could jump into his annual "Farm Tour" during early October, and once he wrapped that up he jumped right back into "Dirt Road Diaries." -
CMT Names Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Three Others 'Artist of The Year.' Read Who and Help Us Narrow It Down
One problem with country music is that it doesn't deal with sparring very well. Nearly everything vaguely resembling a competition gets watered down so neither side looks bad. The genre's media was left in a bind following the war of words between Zac Brown followers and Luke Bryan followers after the former artist blasted the music of the latter. In the end, CMT and others did they're best not to make anyone look bad. So, it's not entirely surprising that five different performers will share this year's CMT Artist of The Year Award. -
Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Eric Church to Headline Stagecoach Festival: Check Out Music Times' Picks
If you think that Indio Valley, CA. might not fit them theme for one of the year's biggest country music festivals, you might be right. But then again, it'd be wrong of us to deny country musicians access to the same Los Angeles-area weather that's inspired just about every other genre we know of. The Stagecoach Festival just announced its lineup for April 2014, and here's a quick summation of the acts that caught Music Times' eye: -
Timberlake vs. Drake: Did '20/20 Experience' or 'Nothing Was The Same' Top Billboard 200 Last Week?
Justin Timberlake, Lorde, Tyler Farr and HAIM all debuted albums last week. Who won? Or perhaps did returnees Drake and Luke Bryan maintain control of the charts? -
Luke Bryan Proposes New Album Based on 'Farm Tour'...A Response To Zac Brown's Criticisms?
Perhaps Luke Bryan took Zac Brown's attack against his hit single "That's My Kind A Night" personally, despite what Jason Aldean advised him. Brown questioned the state of country after hearing Bryan's track, which some derivatively refer to as a prime example of "bro-country." Bryan could have been looking to prove how rural he really is when he announced that he might make an album of his "Farm Tour." -
Album Sales Roundup: Drake Dominates Charts, Kings of Leon Place, Luke Bryan Just Won't Let Go of Spot

Luke Bryan Bringing 'Crash My Party' Success with Him on Fifth Annual 'Farm Tour'
Zac Brown may question the legitimacy of Luke Bryan's country lifestyle/song-style, but Bryan has made sure to give back to the rural background that he occasionally references in his music. The country star will embark on his fifth annual "Farm Tour" on October 2. -
Album Sales Roundup: Jack Johnson Tops Charts, but Justin Moore and Chris Young Lead Country Cavalcade
Country music demonstrated its dominance of album sales once again, putting five performers in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, but it was a different kind of acoustic artist who topped the charts. -
Marijuana and Country Music: An Old Trend That Mainstream Listeners Are Just Realizing [VIDEO]
If you've enjoyed music produced by every scene ranging from '40s bebop to '90s grunge, you're aware that heroin has played a role. Ecstasy and "molly" use in the EDM scene have recently become a concern for parents and concert organizers after a rash of overdoses. However, marijuana has somewhat lost its edge. Although we don't encourage any drug use, a reference to taking a toke hardly raises an eyebrow, whether the artist is Sublime or Wiz Khalifa. One scene that's late to the party is country music, and a Billboard report indicates that those surrounding the traditionally family-friendly genre are concerned with a rash of weed references in popular country music.
