Miranda debuted this new song, Scars at her recent show at City Winery in Nashville. She has actually known the song for 15 years since her longtime bandmate, Scotty Wray, wrote it. Until now, Miranda didn’t feel she could really convey the full emotion in the song’s lyrics. “I was never damaged enough to sing a song called ‘Scars,'” Miranda told the audience before her performance. “It’s something you have to sell and really feel and really live and go through shit to basically execute a song like that. Every time he sings I’ve cried for the last 15 years. So, I’m gonna try to sing it tonight and hopefully put it on a record some day.” The song’s lyrics talk about being open and honest about all the scars you’ve earned over time after facing heartbreak. One standout line says, “I’ve lived enough to know not to hide them anymore.” Source:  Rare Country

If you are a fan of Howard Stern , you know he is NOT a fan of country music except for Willie Nelson . But today he was raving about Chris Stapleton . Let's hope he gets Chris on the show ASAP. Anyway, here is what he had to say about Chris this morning. Howard : Ok I want to mention a guy who I had no idea, now I was watching the John Lennon tribute and like this Charlie Daniels looking (MF) was up there singing with a big belly, big ZZ Top beard, big cowboy hat. You know this guy? I'm talking about Chris Stapleton . Well, you know I was watching it and I said to myself, boy this guy is good. But I never mentioned that he was THAT good because I was like I don't know who this guy is. I've already mentioned like five people from the show. Nobody cares about it. I was like why am I talking about the John Lennon tribute show that no one cares about? Why am I bringing this up? It makes no sense. But this guy with the big belly and the beard and everything, I ...
