Heyo, kids. Hope your week's going well.
Don't forget to join us for Saturday Night Karaoke, live and loud from the Iron Horse Tavern from 10pm to 1am.
Merle Haggard's final song, "Kern River Blues," debuted today on Willie Nelson’s Willie's Roadhouse channel on SiriusXM and is now available to download on merlehaggard.com and iTunes.
The song features Haggard's son, Ben, and was recorded February 9 at the singer's Hag Studios.
The Haggard family decided to release "Kern River Blues" as a way of “thanking everyone” for their “tremendous outpouring of love and prayers” for the artist and will donate 10% of all gross proceeds from its sale to homeless charities.
Alice Cooper and the members of his original band are working together again on new music for the shock rocker's next album.
"Neal Smith and Mike Bruce and I wrote five songs in Phoenix," Cooper tells Billboard. "Dennis (Dunaway) wrote four or five songs in Connecticut. You never know what's going to make it on an album, but I think we've got a lot of stuff that has a good chance of being there."
Members of Cooper's current band are also contributing songs for the set.
"I don't care where a song comes from; If it fits the idea, what the album's going to be, then we go with it," Cooper says. "We'll see which ones make the album."
The Cooper group broke up after 1973's Muscle of Love, with Bruce, Dunaway and Smith going on to form the short-lived Billion Dollar Babies band.
No release date has been announced for the new set.
