Christmas Day is almost upon us and for some people it will be a day where some families get together for a big dinner later that night. A scene from Christmas Vacation comes to mind when I think about that. In my family we do things different. We basically cook up a bunch of finger foods like chicken fingers, Buffalo wings, Mozzarella Sticks and more and have a buffet style meal. It takes a littl

This past August, developers proposed a plan for a new open air mall in the spot where Latham Circle Mall currently resides. This past Tuesday, the Colonie Town Board approved the idea.

We are quickly making our way toward the end of 2012. It was a great year full of so many great shows. Some of the biggest names in country music made a stop in the Albany area and totally rocked the house where ever they played.

We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season. Everyone is out Christmas shopping, Holiday songs are on the radio and many of the television networks are breaking out the Christmas movies. There are a ton of great one's to choose from and here are just a few of mine.  See if you agree.

This Sunday (12/16) marks country singer Jeff Carson's 48th birthday. How about we go back in time and remember one of his big hits from the past in this weeks edition of Flashback Friday. This week we go to to 1995 for Jeff's Top 5 hit, "The Car".

Last night the American Country Awards took place on FOX. Luke Bryan was the big winner of the show. I am a fan of awards shows and a fan of Luke Bryan for that matter, but I am not really a fan of this particular show.

Richie Phillips posted a story recently about Rolling Stone magazine's picks for the best country albums of 2012. I will admit they are some decent picks and certainly deserve to have a listen. I thought I would do the same and pick out my favorite country albums that came out sometime this year.

There is gonna be another member of Lady Antebellum in about 9 months.

After a week off for a well deserved vacation I am back with another edition of Flashback Friday. Saturday (12/8) is Former Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon's 53rd birthday. So it's seems appropriate to showcase a classic hit from the group this week. We go back to 1989 for Shenandoah's very first #1 hit "The Church On Cumberland Road".

It is certainly the holiday season and plenty of Christmas music can be heard all over. GNA has some of your favorite Country Christmas tunes for you this time of year. We all have our favorites and here are some of mine.

If you hadn't noticed I've been away for the last few days. I took a trip down to Florida for a little rest and relaxation and to visit some family. While in Florida, I headed to Clearwater Beach and was told by my sister that Hulk Hogan has a brand new store in the area. Being the long time wrestling fan that I am I had to go and check it out.

A Happy Thanksgiving weekend to everybody! It's time to go back in time once again to remember a great country song and video from the past with this week's edition of Flashback Friday. This week we go back to 1997 for a top 5 hit from Michael Peterson, "Drink, Swear, Steal And Lie".
