Rory Feek shares his wife’s life in ‘To Joey, With Love’
Making a documentary has helped restore Rory Feek’s vision of his late wife, Joey Feek. “I mostly am still a little bit in awe of her being gone,“ says Rory, half of the country music duo Joey + Rory. He is finishing “To Joey, With Love,” which will make its debut Sept. 20 in select cities (including Dallas, Nashville, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles) for one night, with an encore Oct. 6.

The Dixie Chicks are back.
Thirteen years after country music blacklisted the top-selling female band in American history, the Dixie Chicks are returning to the town that made them famous.
And when the trio performs Wednesday night at Nashville’s sold-out Bridgestone Arena, they’ll do so unapologetically — with a show featuring the same brand of biting political commentary that most country artists avoid at all costs, and that forced the Chicks into exile more than a decade ago.
Carrie Underwood sa-ang at the CMT Awards and proved that she still reigns. She took home trophies for CMT Female Video of the Year for “Smoke Break” and CMT Performance of the Year.
RIP Guy Charles Clark.
The legendary country singer and songwriter has died at age 74.

Joey Feek has died at the age of 40 after a public battle with cervical cancer. Her goal had been to make it to her daughter’s second birthday, which was in February, and family says she was at peace: “I’ve prayed and prayed and prayed I’d discover I was healed,” Feek said in November. “But I realized I was healed in a different way. I was healed in my relationship with Christ.”
