THE WOMAN WITH YOU (Items on Kenny Chesney, George Jones, Michael Martin Murphey, Marty Stuart, Tracy Byrd)

Is Kenny Chesney dating Miss Tennessee USA 2005 Amy Colley?
SF Gate says that The Star says that friends say the couple have been a couple for the past four months. And Kenny's already been introduced to Amy's parents. And vacationed in one of those tropical locales that Kenny is so fond of singing about.
Meanwhile, Kenny flew in from his tropical Batcave to help his former publicist celebrate the country hit she co-wrote.

Keeping Up with the Joneses: After a "pear scare" threatened George and Nancy Jones' annual Christmas decoration display, Nancy decided she couldn't be a Scrooge and figured out a way to go all Clark Griswold at their Tennessee spread this year.
Not so fortunate though: The spring semester at George Jones University, a victim of the economy.

Talkin' to the Right Man: Michael Martin Murphey has new set ready to go for '09.
"Buckaroo Blue Grass" is due February 10 and will include his son doin' some chores; Ryan Murphey produced the album, wrote all arrangements, sang harmony vocals and played rhythm guitar.
The set includes new music and several MMM classics performed with a guest list that ain't too shabby: Sam Bush, Rob Ickes, Ronnie McCoury, Andy Leftwich, Pat Flynn, Charlie Cushman play and Rhonda Vincent contributes bckground vocals.

Literary Reviewed: Marty Stuart was featured this morning on NPR's "All Things Considered," mostly talking about his book, "Country Music: The Music."

Cybergrass also sprouts a view at the book, literally, with video.
Meanwhile, a chap at New West digs back into Tracy Byrd's years-old cookbook and even shares his recipe for butterscotch brownies
