The journey continues for No. 1 hit recording artist Ty Herndon, as the singer and newly discovered songwriter prepares to release a collection of Country-tinged inspirational songs, titled Journey On, on June 8.

“Writing this music took me on the journey of my life,” says Herndon. “There is joy and heartbreak, worship and big love within the walls of this music.”

Herndon’s newest project blends a contemporary Country and Christian sound with lyrics that reveal a singer reinvigorated with his faith and spirituality. The release also marks Herndon’s debut as a songwriter, having co-written every song on the album, including “When We Fly,” the track that earned him a 2010 Dove Award earlier this year in the Bluegrass Recorded Song category

Taylor Swift will meet as many fans as possible during a special 13-Hour Meet & Greet at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, in the heart of CMA Music Fest activities, from 8AM - 9PM on June 13.
The 20-year-old country cutie will even include a short acoustic performance that afternoon shortly after 2PM. The event is open to the general public and admission is free!
On June 9 at the 2010 CMT Music Awards, John Mayer will trade guitar licks with his CMT Crosspads partner, Keith Urban, on the unreleased single “Hit The Ground Running” from Keith’s Defying Gravity, for the very first time on television.
LeAnn Rimes will also perform a fully-choreographed number during her own rendition of the John Anderson classic, “Swingin’,” from her forthcoming album Lady and Gentlemen.

LeAnn Rimes is finally speaking up about her affair and subsequent relationship with Eddie Cibrian that developed while both of them were married to other people!
She says:
“I take responsibility for everything I’ve done. I hate that people got hurt. But I don’t regret the outcome. It was very emotionally driven. I never once thought what I was doing was OK. I was out of balance. My marriage was out of balance. There was something missing.
“The hardest thing to hear is someone call either of us a home wrecker because we didn’t walk into a perfectly happy marriage and ruin it. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know it holds Eddie. I’m really happy. I’ve moved on, and I hope there can be some forgiveness and acceptance.”
