charlie gives a horse
Country music legend Charlie Daniels has made a different kind of contribution to a memorial fund honoring fallen soldiers: a horse.
The gelding was raised on Daniels' Twin Pines Ranch. The horse will be auctioned off 9 April 2011 by the organization Let Us Never Forget. Proceeds will fund a scholarship remembering fallen soldier Billy Spencer, who was killed in Iraq in 2006 while trying to rescue his injured commander. Spencer grew up in Paris, Tenn., and was 19 when he died.

aaron lewis of staind - solo tour
Aaron Lewis has announced plans for an acoustic tour, kicking off October 7th in Boston. Lewis is expected to preview tracks from his solo debut album he finished earlier this year while on the tour. Full tour dates are listed below.
Lewis told Billboard in July that the album did not yet have a release date, but would be released by Atlantic Records.
"It's acoustic guitar based," Lewis said of the solo record, "and I recorded it in Nashville with a bunch of country session musicians. So it's kind of somewhere between country and James Taylor and 'It's Been Awhile.'" Adding to the album's country theme, Hank Williams Jr., George Jones and Charlie Daniels will be featured on the album's first single, titled "Country Boy."
Following the tour, Lewis is expected to reunite with the members of Staind to begin work on the band's follow up to The Illusion of Progress.
