We had a week off because I had a week off (I mean, that's how it works here.) But, Country In 60 is back and fillin' you in on all the big news from the country music world for the week!

If you're like me, there are things in life that you just can't bring yourself to like.  For some people, it might be a particular food (avocado toast anyone?) or the latest fashion trend (80s short shorts?).  For me, it is country music.

It's that time of the week again! Snag all of your country music news in a minute - seriously. That's why we call it Country In 60 (get it?!)
