Sam Hunt’s DUI Case Transferred To Grand Jury

Sam Hunt is going to have to face the consequences of his November DUI arrest. A hearing on the case was supposed to take place Friday but it was canceled, and instead the case has been sent to a grand jury.

No reason for Friday’s cancellation was given, with a Davidson County clerk simply noting, “the case has been bound over and transferred to a higher court,” although a source tells Radaronline that’s “usually reserved for serious felonies.”

A clerk adds, “A prosecutor will work with a grand jury to decide whether to bring criminal charges or an indictment against a potential defendant.”

Sam was arrested November 21st in Nashville. He later took to social media to apologize for his actions.

According to a press release, the doc, will give fans a “raw and emotionally revealing look” at Tay “during a transformational period in her life as she learns to embrace her role not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice.”

This day in 1976: Glen Campbell and “Rhinestone Cowboy” score four Grammy nods

Today in 1976, Glen Campbell and “Rhinestone Cowboy” scored four GRAMMY nominations, including Record of the Year.

“Rhinestone Cowboy” was written by Larry Weiss and it appeared on Weiss’ 1974 20th Century Records album Black and Blue Suite. It did not, however, have much of a commercial impact as a single. In late 1974, Campbell heard the song on the radio and, during a tour of Australia, decided to learn it. Soon after his return to the United States, Campbell went to Al Coury’s office at Capitol Records, where he was approached about “a great new song” – “Rhinestone Cowboy”.[1]

Several music writers noted that Campbell identified with the subject matter of “Rhinestone Cowboy” – survival and making it, particularly when the chips are down – very strongly. As Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic put it, the song is about a veteran artist “who’s aware that he’s more than paid his dues during his career … but is still surviving, and someday, he’ll shine just like a rhinestone cowboy.”

Released in May 1975, “Rhinestone Cowboy” immediately caught on with both country and pop audiences. The song spent that summer climbing both the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Billboard Hot 100 charts before peaking at No. 1 by season’s end – three nonconsecutive weeks on the country chart, two weeks on the Hot 100. Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 for 1975. It also topped the charts in Canada and several other countries.

Here’s the 1974 original from Larry Weiss:
