The country music community has been grieving since George Jones died in April. To help soften the blow -- and perhaps to cope with his feelings -- Randy Travis dedicated a new song called 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' to a man many call the greatest country singer of all time. Joe Nichols joins Travis on this powerful duet.

Whisperin' Bill Anderson has a massive catalog of his own hits like 'Still' 'Mama Sang a Song' 'Po Foks' and 'Bright Lights and Country Music.'  More impressively, he is the most recorded songwriter in Country Music History.  Therefore, with this list, we honor the Top 10 Bill Anderson Songs recorded and made hits by other artists.

Joe Nichols not only put on a great performance at Countryfest 2012, he also gave one of the best interviews of the night, bringing with him his unique sense of humor and ability to make people (me) blush. Joe talked about what it's like to be Eric Church (huh?), kickin' it with microbes and his ginormous ... you'll have to watch find out what!

Here are the shots that I attempted to take inside the TU Center. I think you know how difficult it is to get good shots inside at a concert when you are far away, but i gave it the old college try.  My compact camera did a better job than my expensive one - go figure

Joe Nichols (@joenichols) played Countryfest 2012 tonight and a few lucky fans got to meet him!

As we prepare for the summer's biggest concert, Countryfest 2012, I've compiled a list of the Top 5 songs that I think will be the biggest hits of the day.

1077 GNA's Countryfest 2012 is just 3 short days away at the Times Union Center. Its a reserved show inside for the headliners after the free street party on Pearl Street beginning at Noon so make sure you get your tickets now before the great seats are gone.

Just 5 days until 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 is here. It's going to be a great day at the Times Union Center in Albany kicking off at Noon with our free Countryfest Street Party on Pearl Street.

We are less than a week away from the biggest party of the summer, Countryfest 2012 is this Saturday (7/9). We've got a great lineup that includes Headliner Eric Church, Joe Nichols, Thompson Square and Josh Thompson. Can't forget the free outdoor portion of the show that has many great local bands as well as rising star Dustin Lynch.

Just 11 days until Eric Church rolls into town for 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 at the Times Union Center.

Joe Nichols who is one of the best traditional voices in country music will be bringing his many hits to 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 on July 7th at the Times Union Center.

Question: Which 2012 WGNA Countryfest singer admits to discovering a love of whiskey and the music of Merle Haggard at the age of 13?
