Miranda Lambert Grows “Roots and Wings” for Ram Trucks

Image Courtesy Sony Music NashvilleThere’s new music today from Miranda Lambert, thanks to her partnership with Ram Trucks. Miranda composed “Roots and Wings” especially for Ram's latest ad campaign. It’s also the focus of a new music video shot at significant locations in Miranda’s life. The YouTube clip showcases many of Miranda's personal family photographs.

Miranda set out to create a song that would represent what the brand stands for: “being who you are, working hard, staying true to your roots.” “’Roots and Wings’ is personal to me about where I come from and where I am going,” she says. “I hope it speaks to people the way it does to me."

In November, Ram donated a Laramie Longhorn truck that raised close to $55,000 for Miranda’s MuttNation Foundation dog charity. A similar truck tows Miranda’s Airstream to and from each venue on her Certified Platinum tour, and is on display alongside the trailer she named “Wanda the Wanderer.” This weekend, Miranda and her convoy stop in Knoxville, Tennessee and Charleston, West Virginia.

Blake Shelton Admits He Hasn’t Actually Seen “American Sniper”

Image Courtesy Warner Music NashvilleBlake Shelton tells TMZ even though he hasn’t actually seen American Sniper, he has no problem speaking out against the film’s critics.

“I defend our military,” Blake told a paparazzo as he got into a limo outside 30 Rock, where he’ll host Saturday Night Live this weekend. “I don’t like people that talk some sh*t about our military, no matter what arm or leg it is.”

Earlier this week, The Voice star tweeted it “Sickens me to see celebrities or anybody slam the very people who protect their right to talk sh*t,” adding the hashtag #truecowards. Blake was responding to actor Seth Rogen’s post saying the film about the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history reminded him of a fake Nazi propaganda movie in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Rogen has since clarified that he’s actually a fan of the movie and didn’t mean any disrespect.

“I want to see the movie real bad,” Blake told the photographer, between signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans.

Zac Brown Says It’s All About the People

Image Courtesy Southern GroundZac Brown Band's new single, "Homegrown," is the first venture in the band's partnership between their own Southern Ground Records, fashion designer John Varvatos' record label and Nashville-based Big Machine Records. Zac believes the kind of people he surrounds himself with has been crucial to the band's success.

“It’s all about the people," he reflects. "It’s all about the help that I have, and I’ve got brilliant, passionate people that I try to instill the way that I would answer or to do things. We have our philosophy behind it, but that’s the only way it gets done, with all of our people.”

The new album from Zac Brown Band is due in stores and online this spring.

Blake Shelton Taunts Adam Levine in SNL Promo

Image Courtesy Warner Music NashvilleIt appears that Blake Shelton is taking his rivalry with Voice co-star Adam Levine to Saturday Night Live. Blake shot several SNL promos ahead of his appearance on the show this weekend, taking the opportunity to taunt his fellow Voice coach and Maroon 5 front-man.

In one of the promos, SNL cast member Cecily Strong asks Blake if his rivalry with Adam on The Voice is real or fake. “It’s real,” he says. “I mean, it’s so real. In fact, that guy is such a punk.”

Blake then looks directly into the camera and says, “I actually have a message for you Adam. Hey Adam, look who’s hosting SNL now, pretty boy? Hot shot!” He stops himself when he realizes he can’t cuss on TV. “Oh, well I’m done then,” he says. To which Cecily adds, “Me too. Levine.”

Blake will be the host and the musical guest on Saturday night’s edition. Adam hosted SNL back in 2013.

Vince Gill Hits the Road with Ashley Monroe and Charlie Worsham

Image Courtesy CMAVince Gill and Ashley Monroe will take a break from working on her new CD to set out on a unique mini-tour in March. Charlie Worsham and Vince's daughter Jenny will join them for four "Vince Gill & Friends" shows, which the Country Music Hall of Famer says may not be what you'd expect.

“This won’t be a ‘guitar pull,' where one person sings while the others listen and wait for their turn," Vince explains. "We’ll all be pitching in, picking and singing harmony for each other and doing each other’s songs. It will be a musical collaboration -- not a headliner with opening acts.”

Vince produced Ashley's current album, Like a Rose, and the two are collaborating on the follow-up, as Ashley enjoys the top 10 success of "Lonely Tonight," her duet with Blake Shelton.

Here are the dates for the Vince Gill & Friends tour:

3/19 -- El Dorado, AR, El Dorado Municipal Auditorium
3/20 -- St. Louis, MO. River City Casino
3/21 -- Cincinnati, OH, Taft Theatre
3/22 -- Milwaukee, WI, Milwaukee Theatre
