The List, for Friday, April 23rd 2021

Welcome to The List,

 

Today a couple Country Music Superstars talk about their musical influences and how special the music is…we start with Jake Owen and his musical influences started in southern rock and his first CD? “I remember the first album I bought on CD, was the ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ Black Crowes record.  What I loved about it, was growing up in Florida..you know Florida is famous for Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd, I’ve loved that southern rock I always did and so to me Black Crowes had that influence of southern rock.”

 Dylan Scott talks about his new single ‘Nobody’ he says he knew the song was special the moment he wrote it but why? “There’s nothing to crazy about it, it’s a real simple lyrical song.  The melody was catchy and so I felt really good about it from the beginning. Apparently, it’s turned out to be what I thought it was going to be.”

 After Blake and Gwen get married don’t expect to see much of them in the spotlight.  The Star Magazine reports that they’re looking at less work.  They don’t want to run the risk of burnout…and speaking of Blake, Snoop Dogg who is the Mega Mentor on this season of “The Voice” tell Entertainment Tonight that he and Blake may record a song together once this season of “The Voice” ends.

 The Academy Awards will not have a host this year. Fifteen Hollywood A-listers will work as presenters…and you can watch it Sunday at 7 on ABC…The Academy Awards means it time for the Razzie’s as well, honoring the worst in film, are going to be announced on Saturday night. Here at the nominees

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

-----

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

-----

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

-----

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.

Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
