A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with Ricky Skaggs about his new album Country Hits Bluegrass Style. Over the course of our discussion, we also talked about many other topics, including his live show, a special guitar and more.

We've collected 40 of the biggest hits of this summer and we're asking you - our loyal readers - to select the song you think deserves the title as "2011 Song of the Summer". Read on to find out how to choose your favorite song of 2011!

Sara Evans has come back to country music radio and video networks with this single from the Country Strong official soundtrack.

After a short hiatus, Fresh Music Friday is back this week with "Somebody Like You" from California-based singer Erica Nicole.  The artist has been working with multi-platinum producer Michael Lloyd for her upcoming album.  Get the song mp3 here, for free.

After taking quite a bit of time off to recharge and just live her life, Sara Evans is back in the spotlight with this new single.  A lead-single from both her upcoming album and the Country Strong film soundtrack, does it have enough to remind radio of her considerable talent?

"Free," the last single from The Foundation, is #1 the very same week that this song is the Zac Brown Band's lead single from You Get What You Give.  This song is a true duet with Alan Jackson.  How does the song sound? Will it be the band's sixth consecutive #1 hit?
