“A Woman Like…Sara!” Just two days into the new year on January 2nd Lee Brice popped the question to his longtime girlfriend Sara Reeveley. The newly engaged couple were celebrating their New Year’s down in the Florida Keys. Incidentally, Brice’s current single “A Woman Like You” has been climbing up on the Billboard Country© Songs Charts, reaching spot number 26 just this past week. Brice will be touring select dates later this month and towns in California, Arizona and Ohio.

January 24th will also be the release date for perhaps the most anticipated album in Nashville for a long time…Tim McGraw‘s “Emotional Traffic” - his first full-scale studio album released since 2009. Curb Records has announced the availability of digital single releases from the new album , exclusively on iTunes and available prior to Emotional Traffic’s official street date of Tuesday, January 24. We also just learned that NPR (npr.org) has joined in the promotional efforts of this album by including it as part of their “First Listen Series“. Tim McGraw fans will have plenty of chances to catch up their star at a live performance along with the new songs this summer as he will be kicking off the “Brothers Of The Sun” tour with Kenny Chesney in June.
