Country music is all about being honest and real — and death is as real and raw as it gets.

Meet the new Diamond Rio!

You know "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise," but did you know Phil Vassar also wrote these country hits for other artists?

CMA winners' acceptance speeches are often the highlights in a show that's full of them.

You know "Carlene" and "Just Another Day in Paradise," but did you know Phil Vassar also wrote these country hits for other artists?

A group of contemporary hitmakers joined '90s country singers to pay tribute to the late singer.

July is National Ice Cream Month, so my Country Throwback this week remembers a Diamond Rio hit that has ice cream as part of the chorus.

Diamond Rio is one those bands you recognize the minute you hear them harmonize with each other.  I remember a 90's review of one of their albums said the group's songs had "more hooks than a tackle box", and it's a hard statement to argue.

I'm a "lady of the 80's" and you will definitely see some 80's hair in THIS video!  I chose Diamond Rio as our "Solid Gold Pick of the Week" with a song I use to call, the ravioli song when I first started in radio, "Meet In The Middle".
