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.

Wynonna is releasing a double-album, “Back to Wy: Live,” and it will be a rather unique live collection. The album will follow the same track listing as her first two solo studio albums, “Wynonna” and “Tell Me Why,” with all the songs from those albums performed in a live setting. Of the collection, Wy said, “I wanted to bottle up all of the memories we made on the Back To Wy Tour, so this live album is a gift from me…to you.” The album will be available both digitally and as a 2 LP 140-gram set. The collection drops September 6.

Congratulations to Miranda Lambert – who’s been chosen to receive the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards. She follows last year’s icon, Toby Keith, who was named the inaugural “Country Icon” at the very first People’s Choice Country Awards show. In a statement, Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment said of Lambert, “A tour de force in country music for more than 20 years, Miranda Lambert’s groundbreaking albums continue to capture the hearts of fans around the world. We’re so excited to celebrate her career, fierce individualism and innovation in the industry with the Country Icon Award.” Miranda will be honored at the 2nd annual People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday, September 26 at 8 pm ET/PT, which will air live across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

Carrie Underwood, the reigning Queen of Sunday Night Football, is officially returning for her 12th season of kicking off “Sunday Night Football.” There may have been some question in fan’s minds, considering Carrie’s iconic song was absent once last year’s regular season ended and the playoffs began. But rest easy, Carrie fans – she is indeed back! The return begins September 8 (Sunday, of course) on NBC and Peacock,

We’re betting this is not the homecoming Darryl Worley was expecting when he returned from putting on a show in Canada. The singer came home to find his wife Kimberly had been riding roads on the couple’s side-by-side and wrecked herself, seriously injuring her arm in the process. “Kimberly’s arm was messed up pretty bad and I’m writing this while she’s still under the knife,” he says. “My wife gets a little anxious in these situations and I don’t always know how to handle it. She doesn’t do so well with pain meds but we work together well and get things done.” As Darryl posted this while she was in surgery, we’re still waiting on word that the procedure was successful.
