Zac Brown leads  one of the most successful acts in country music, but he says much of the credit has to goe to his wife, Shelly. Turns out Shelly has recently launched her own jewelry line. “She’s really, really talented, and she’s been raising babies for the last eight years, so now she’s stepping out and really putting her imagination into her work,” he says. “Her jewelry and everything she makes is amazing. I’m her biggest fan.”

 

Brad Paisley was in a state of mild shock when he got the call to open for the stones . “I still think they mis-dialed,” he jokes, he also appreciates what the legendary english rock band have done for country music.

“I like to say they’re the No. 1 rock band in the world, and they’re in the Top 5 in country bands,” Brad says there are  four or five “absolutely, indisputably country” songs the Stones have recorded are as influential as anything. Songs like “Wild Horses,” “Sweet Virginia” and “Honky Tonk Woman” have deep country roots, but Brady says his favorite guitar riff is the opening of the very non-country “Start Me Up.”
