At the suggestion of friends, Joey+Rory decided to enter CMT's "Can You Duet" despite never really actively singing together.  The husband-and-wife team wound up in the Top 3 of the show and gained a lot of loyal fans in the process. "The Life Of A Song" is their debut album and it showcases the suparstar vocals of Joey paired with her husband's wonderful songwriting.  It sounds perfect but do they have the songs to break through?

Have you ever just met someone and felt like you were long-time friends with them? That's what it felt like when I recently met Joey Martin and Rory Feek, the husband and wife duo known as Joey+Rory. In the first part of a two-part interview, we learn about the reasons behind trying out for the show "Can You Duet." 

Outside of talk stations, country music is the radio format with the most stations dedicated to it.  Country radio charts (which determine what a number one hit is) are split up into two levels: Major markets and everybody else.  Is this right?  Is it another example of corporate consolidation gone awry? Is it good for the country music industry?

In part two of the Roughstock Interview, Joey discusses their album, how her relationship with Rory was formed and briefly about another passion, cooking and baking.

Rebecca Lynn Howard has been the part of two Grammy-winning projects in her career and shuffled from record label to record label.  Most of those labels tried to change her into something she really wasn't.  Now signed to an indie label, Rebecca Lynn went in and cut the album she always wanted to make.  But is it any good?

Here's a track from Rebecca Lynn Howard's new record "No Rules." She co-wrote it with Jason Matthews.
