Lady A spent quarantine working on their last album… and since they had so much time on their hands not touring, they used all that time to write new songs. Now they have so many written that they all won’t fit on one album!

Sure, they can do a double album, but Charles Kelley shot that idea down, saying, “I personally can’t consume that much music at a time. For us though, I will say we wrote so much, and I do feel like we wrote a lot of quality stuff, that there’s gonna be a lot of songs that will probably make a future record. Cause we probably won’t be able to write this much ever again, I’m hopin’, cause we’ll be busy on the road. But I have a tough time personally consuming that much music.”

Hillary Scott agreed, and pointed out that the excess songs could be released in another way. “We’re always open to where songs can find other homes, too. Whether it’s – and this is just wishful thinkin’ – in a movie or in a TV show,” she shared. “You know, there’s definitely other ways to give these songs life, because it is hard to walk away from 35 songs when we’ve piled up so many in the process of recording. So, hopefully they’ll find their own life.”

Tim McGraw’s role of James Dutton on “Yellowstone” was only supposed to be as a guest star. “I’d been a fan of Yellowstone since the first night it came out,” Tim explained. “So, Taylor (Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone) called, and he goes, ‘Hey man, I want you to be in Yellowstone, and you’re gonna play the original Dutton who founded the Yellowstone Ranch.”

Taylor didn’t just want Tim, he wanted his wife Faith Hill to play his TV wife!  “He said, ‘You’re also gonna have a wife. Do you think Faith would be interested in playing your wife?’ And,” for some reason Tim says, “it took me about three days to get the nerve up to ask her. She said, ‘Sure, I’ll be glad to do it. It’ll be fun.’ So, we did two flashback episodes.”

Tim fell in love with playing the role after filming the first scene. He recalls, “The first thing we shot, it was just so much fun. We’re going so fast and the shootout was so great. I remember gettin’ off the horse and walkin’ around going, ‘I don’t care if I do any other film for the rest of my life, I wanna do westerns from now on.’”

The role became much larger than just a guest role. “Cut to later on, Taylor called me and said, ‘I showed the flashbacks to the studio and they want to do a whole series now,” Tim shares. “So, when he sent the script for 1883 and we read it, Faith and I both were like, ‘This is just too special. It’s just too special not to do.”

Sam Hunt is going through some major personal drama. The singer’s wife Hannah Lee Fowler just filed for divorce claiming he cheated on her. What’s worse, the court documents reveal she is expecting their first child in May.

Legal docs state Sam is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct,” and “guilty of adultery,” noting, “The husband is guilty of such cruel and inhuman treatment or conduct toward the spouse as renders cohabitation unsafe or improper.”

Hannah is asking for alimony, primary custody of their soon-to-be-born child and child support. She is also asking “the parties be awarded their respective separate property,” indicating that a prenup may be in place.

Sam and Hannah have been married since 2017. They’ve been together on and off for 14 years.
