Friday was a bittersweet day for Dolly Parton. Friday, her new album, “Smoky Mountain DNA: Faith, Family and Fables,” was released, and on the same day, a member of her family, her brother, died at the age of 82.

Country singer Sundance Head is recovering after he was hit by a stray bullet at his East Texas ranch. The singer, who won season eleven of “The Voice,” was airlifted to a hospital in Tyler on Friday.

Morgan Wallen is breaking another Billboard record. He’s the first artist to earn five number-ones on the Hot Country Songs chart in a single year. “Lies, Lies, Lies” made it to the top of the chart this week.

If you missed Friday’s episode of “It’s All Country” over on HULU, Charles Kelley of Lady A was featured talking about his sobriety, how his drinking nearly ended his marriage, and how getting sober was the best decision he ever made.

Another member of Lady A, Hillary Scott, along with her 11-year-old daughter, just released a new, original, Christmas song called “Hard to Wait for Christmas.”
