After Dolly's headlining set at the festival, organizers discovered a stray dog at the festival site. It quickly became known as "Doggy Parton," and Dolly offered to adopt the dog if the owners weren't found.

Thankfully, the pup's owners have come forward and been reunited with the dog. In a conference call, Dolly revealed the dog was 15 years old and unable to travel across the ocean anyway.

PRNewsFoto/Wynn Las Vegas, Mark TuckerGarth Brooks is moving into the second phase of his career with some big news.  At a Nashville press conference, Sony Music CEO Doug Morris announced that Brooks will be recording for the label, with Brooks himself later clarifying that it'll be for RCA Nashville. 

And yes, that does mean there will be new music from Garth later this year. He expects to release a new album around Black Friday to coincide with the holiday shopping season. When asked when we'll get a first taste of the new music, Garth said, "I know that but I can't tell you that."  After being gently pressed, he declared, "Sometime in the next two months."

As for how new Garth music will sound, Brooks joked you won't be hearing "bro country" or "hick-hop" from him.  He said fans will be getting "Garth music…it's ever-evolving and it stands the test of time." Garth added the project will be a double-album due to the amount of songs he's been recording.

Brooks also revealed that he'll no longer be a holdout when it comes to offering his music digitally.  However, it'll be only through Garth's website, GarthBooks.com. A countdown on the website suggests Garth's digital catalog could be available for purchase by early next week.

Garth will support his new album with a world tour, and details on tour dates and cities are expected to be announced next week. He addressed social media as well, saying he'll be doing something there, but "our stance on social media is not quantity, but quality."

The last thing Garth addressed before opening the floor to questions was the recently-canceled series of shows in Ireland.  Brooks spoke at length, essentially saying he thought the five shows were a go until he heard that only three had been green-lighted.  As for what happened, Garth said he had no idea, and that at no time during the arrangements or press for the shows did anyone say, as he put it, "Whoa, whoa, wait."  He also said all the powers that be have to do is say "yes," and he'll be there.  "It's a simple 'yes' is all it is," he said repeatedly.

In an interview with Rolling Stone Country, Wynonna says she loves the humor in Brad Paisley's music and considers Blake Shelton to be "the brother I never wanted but I'm so glad I have."

As for today's current country female acts, Wy says, "I love Kacey Musgraves and the fact that at her age she's doing stuff that I didn't have the guts to do. I love that she's controversial and she's, oh my goodness, singing about what? I couldn't do stuff like that because my mother would have said no!"

Wynonna is also a fan of Lady Antebellum because of Charles Kelley's voice. She adds, "Little Big Town is still my favorite in terms of harmony."

As for her own music, Wy recently released a song called "Follow Me" from the film The Hornet's Nest. She's currently working on a full-length project with her band, The Big Noise.

Image Courtesy Jeremy Cowart/Republic NashvilleFlorida Georgia Line's brand-new single, "Dirt," finds the duo taking a step back from the party anthems that shot them to fame to deliver a sentimental, straight-ahead country song. The lyrics speak to the whole of life from falling in love to welcoming a child to saying goodbye to a loved one.

FGL's Brian Kelley tells ABC News Radio, "It feels like country music. It feels like the natural progression. Sixth single leading after Here's to the Good Times, it kinda continues -- shows a little maturity, a little different side."

Brian also sings lead on the second verse of "Dirt" -- something he's never done before on an FGL single. Since his duo partner, Tyler Hubbard, has taken lead vocals on every hit so far, Brian doesn't see a reason to mess with that winning formula too much.

"That's kind of the way we've branded the thing, and that's the way it sounds the best, to be honest with you," Brian says. "This is one of those things we kind of like switching off. We did that back in the day, and two is always better than one."

Plus, trading vocals on a love song like "Stay" or "Get Your Shine On" just wouldn't sound right.

Says Brian, "If you're coming in singing about a girl in the second verse, it can be a little weird if there's two guys and it's a duo."

"Dirt" is the lead single from Florida Georgia Line's upcoming album, which will feature more of the duo's classic, rocking sound.

Brian adds, "We can promise you that after this single, the party's coming."

Look for Florida Georgia Line's sophomore album to come out this fall.

Image Courtesy RCA RecordsChris Young was looking for a love song to round out his latest album, A.M., when a friend of his sent over "Who I Am with You." Once he heard the track, Chris knew immediately he'd found the right song to fit that slot.

He says, "It's something you wanted to [do the] first dance at a wedding to. That's kind of what I heard the first time I heard this. I was like, 'God, this is such a cool song.'"

"Who I Am with You" is the follow-up to "Aw Naw," the rocking lead single from A.M.

"I'm so glad this is the second single, because it does give you a little bit of a look at the different things that are on this album," Chris explains. "We led with a big, uptempo party rock song. This song, it is a love song from start to finish."

Chris thinks everyone can relate to the song's lyrics about that special someone who makes you become a better person.

He adds with a laugh, "I wish I had written it."

Chris will perform "Who I Am with You" at Dierks Bentley's Miles & Music for Kids benefit concert September 28 in Nashville.
