Zac Brown and his wife Kelly Yazdi were separating after just four months of marriage. The path to divorce has not been a smooth one for the couple, as lawsuits were filed and things got contentious. Now, Yazdi has shed a little light on how things unfolded.

Yazdi claims she’s been quiet over the threat of legal action, but now wants to set the record straight. “We got married last August, and then we held our private wedding party in Nashville last November with our family and friends, and nine days after our wedding party, Zac unexpectedly told me over Zoom that he wanted a divorce.”

She went on to say “After he told me that he wanted a divorce, I refused to agree to sign a non-disclosure agreement that would have broadly prohibited me from ever talking about my life or relationship with Zac for the rest of my life. And after I refused to sign that lifetime NDA, that is when Zac filed for divorce back in January, and then a couple weeks later, I was fired from my position as executive vice president of his company.” Needless to say, the chances of this ending amicably are incredibly slim.

If Jelly Roll keeps doing Jelly Roll things, even the haters are going to have to recognize. The singer was out and about in Salt Lake City recently when he came upon a couple of kids running a neighborhood lemonade stand. Let Wendy Gardunio, mother of one of the kids, tell the story. “So today was an interesting day,” Gardunio wrote in her Facebook post. “My kid and her cousins wanted to do a lemonade stand. And they had a famous singer come and buy some lemonade. Who would have thought that we would run into jelly roll in west valley. And for him to be so generous with giving them almost $700.” The kids are young enough to perhaps not know who Jelly Roll is, but mom sure did.

Joe Nichols is back. The singer has announced that his 11th studio album, “Honky Tonks And Country Songs,” is coming out October 25. The 11-track album includes Joe’s current single, “Bottle It Up,” as well as “Doin’ Life With You,” set to be released September 6. Also in the mix: Joe’s cover of Hank Williams Jr.‘s “A Country Boy Can Survive.” Of the collection, Joe says, “My job is to make people feel good. And sometimes that means with fun and happy songs, and other times with sad and sorrowful truths. But the goal is always to make them feel good. This album is meant to do exactly that. Everyone can find a good time in a honky tonk and a country song.”

While it’s true that long time Toby Keith fans will already have these songs in their collection, the country legend’s passing has led to new fans (or younger country fans) discovering Toby’s catalog for the first time. To that end, a new compilation, “13 Number Ones,” is centered on Toby’s most iconic songs from between 1993 and 2005. The collection will be available October 4 in CD and vinyl formats. Also announced, a remaster of Keith’s debut holiday album, “Christmas to Christmas,” which originally came out in 1995. The new reissue will add a bonus track, Roger Miller’s “Old Toy Trains,” that Keith recorded for a Christmas compilation in 2000. “Christmas To Christmas: Remastered” also comes out on October 4.
