new album

Carrie Underwood is nearing completion of her new, yet-to-be-titled fourth album (due out in 2012), and she says the songs she’s chosen were influenced by time spent in studio with Tony Bennett, Steven Tyler and Brad Paisley.

Sony Music Nashville Miranda Lambert unveiled the cover of her new album, ‘Four the Record,’ last week, but she wasn’t finished teasing details of the hotly-anticipated project. One good turn deserves another, after all — so Lambert followed her cover reveal by releasing the ‘Four the Record’ track listing.

She scored a number one duet with Brad Paisley this year, but it’s been a little while since Carrie Underwood released any new music on her ow. After all, her last album, ‘Play On,’ came out way back in 2009. Her fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to hear more from her, though.

Adkins might be riding high on the charts now, with a string of bestselling records and hit singles to his credit, but he still remembers how he felt when he was just starting out — and, as he proved during a recent interview with Taste of Country, he knows how far he’s come.

Saddle up, Toby Keith fans — the country superstar’s next album is just around the corner. It’s been a busy week for Keith, who debuted the video for his latest single, ‘Made in America,’ and revealed that his 15th studio album, ‘Clancy’s Tavern,’ will be released October 25.

Cancer survivor Merle Haggard says he’s “swinging back in full throttle right now,” and his engine is revving thanks in part to his new album, ‘Working in Tennessee,’ which is due Oct. 4 on Vanguard Records. “Music keeps me alive. It makes me breathe better,” says Haggard, who had a cancerous tumor removed from his right lung in November 2008.

You’ll have to wait until Sept. 18 to buy the new Lady Antebellum album, but you can see it — and take a look at the song titles — right now. The band has released the artwork and track listing for its upcoming third album, ‘Own the Night,’ which will contain a dozen songs, including the lead single (and Top 10 hit), ‘Just a Kiss.’

It’s been over two years since Martina McBride has delivered a full-length album of new material — and the wait just got a little longer for her fans. McBride’s upcoming release, which will be her eleventh studio set, was scheduled for August, but Universal Republic has pushed it back a few weeks — to October 18, to be exact. She addressed the change in a recent blog post, calling it “a decision t
