Welcome to The List,
Luke Bryan’s album “Born Here Live Here Die Here” debuted on the Country Albums chart at number one…making it his sixth consecutive appearance in the top position…so NOW there’s a DELUXE version. Saying he’s got songs on his brain right NOW… “I think a lot of trends in music are fans love to be able to go and seek new music, and I’ve got the songs that I love. I got the songs that I’m proud of that tell the story of where I’m at right now, and there’s no need for fans not to hear ‘em right now.” Says he doesn’t want to sit on them for a later project. The New DELUXE Edition Of “Born Here Live Here Die Here” is out today
Country star Clint Black has a new talk show, and here he’s explaining the concept of ”Talking In Circles” to Kelly Clarkson. “It’s the kind of conversations that you and I would have in the ‘green room’ when we’re not promoting we’re not talking about awards and record sales. We’re just talking about the craft or whatever we like to do so, It’s kind of a fly on the wall show to hear what artist talk about with each other.” ‘Talking In Circles’ premieres Saturday, May 22nd on Circle Network
Ace Showbiz says Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett won early ACM Awards yesterday. Allen won New Male Artist of the Year while Barrett won New Female Artist of the Year
Katey Sagal reminisces with Kelly And Ryan … on her early singing days. Katey sang with everyone from Bette Midler to Etta James. She met Elvis Presley when she was young because her father directed him in a movie. She talks a bit about her new series “Rebel” that’s inspired by Erin Brockovich “The character Rebel that I play, is a consumer advocate. She’s kind of loud and intense. It’s all about here work and family life. It’s a very messy family drama.” “Rebel” airs Thursdays on ABC.
Uproxx says the Jeni’s Ice Cream website crashed yesterday after Dolly Parton’s new Strawberry Pretzel Pie flavor went on sale. Jeni’s only created 10,000 pints. Fans went wild and took out Jenni’s website within five minutes.

AT THE MOVIES...Thursday’s at 5:40, brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames and IBC KIX 101.1….
Welcome to The List…
Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.
-----
Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.
-----
Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
