Schedule Changes

Jason Michael Carroll's tour schedule has been shuffled and shifted due to Trace Adkins rescheduling his December dates. Please check the schedule ---> to see if any of the changes affect you. Also February 21st is currently showing two places, one Jason! From what I can see on my end, he is booked for both Las Vegas and Wichita Falls, TX. As that gets hammered out, I will update the schedule with where he will REALLY be on February 21st! Stay tuned for updates, news - and more.

Stuck in Bed with JMC?

Star 96.3's morning DJ team John Flint and Tammy Lee spent the week in Nashville doing the CMA thing and if you were wondering about yesterday's shower picture of Jason Michael Carroll - that is them and that was last year. Not to be outdone by last years pics, this year they upped the ante to a photo taken of them in bed with artists. You can check out the photo gallery at Gallery - In bed with....

Lions, Tigers & Radio Interviews Oh My!

Truth in advertising - you will find no lions nor tigers in today's post. You will however find some fantastic links to interviews with Jason Michael Carroll from yesterdays Country Music Awards.

Leading off is a great video clip with Blair Garner. Jason discusses this past Halloween, studio time and the upcoming album, and of course the light(s) of his life, his children. Check out After Midnite - Media Manager and look for the CMA link. Jason's clip on page 3 and is well worth checking out.

Thanks to Jessica over on the JMC Official website (linky over ---->) for the following links, visit WBUL's Mooo Crew Media Player and be sure and check out WQDR's video at
YouTube - Jason Michael Carroll

And here are a couple more from my local stations, check picture #2 from last years CMA interviews from WMAD Madison Gallery - In The Shower With...
and take a peek at WWQM's video clip with Jason WWQM Jason Michael Carroll

Aside from that - not much going on. One of the interviews states March or April for the sophomore CD release. It sounds like he has one more song to either cut or recut, but otherwise it is coming together well. I can quite honestly say that I have never looked forward to a CD as much as I am looking forward to this one. With hot songs like Barnburner and the newly released "Where I'm From" and the sentimental "Tears", it is going to be awesome and I look forward to buying a few copies to share as well as my personal "stash".

Thanks Cayce for sharing this great video too - one can only hope ;)

"Where I'm From" Release!

Today is the big day, the day "Where I'm From", Jason Michael Carroll's newest single hits the airwaves. The CD should be in the hands of DJ's from sea to shining sea, and added to playlists in the upcoming days. Be sure and hit up your local DJ's with a request or 3 so we can get a little airplay, but remember some stations will play new stuff and let it hit the floor running, others are more traditional and wait until "but everyone else is doing it". So if you hear it on your local station - fantastic! If you don't, be patient - call them and request it a couple times a day on different shifts and let them know the fans are waiting. Oh - and if you hear your DJ spin it - call them and tell them THANKS! This song has all the makings of a #1 hit, we just need to help it get there.

Lots of internet buzz about the new single - check out Jason Michael Carroll 'Where I'm From' music video - MusicRemedy and here is a board that could use a little love if you can get registered... Pulse Music Board - Jason Michael Carroll - "Where I'm From"

Lastly - today I am sharing "Only Lyrics" version of the WIF lyrics...no promises on accuracy, but here they are ;)


On a 3 hour flight from Memphis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots beside those high dollar shoes and armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
So if you'd like the first one can be on me
He said im heading back from Memphis, in New York and Iran
Tell me son where do you call home

I said im from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames and
Gave there children Grandmothers maiden name
Yes, it may not sound like much
But its where im from

so we Drink that around and then another
There wasnt a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when i was barley 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
and i said im flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said i think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends

Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
the trucks a ford and the tractors green
and amazing grace is what we sing
theres a county fair every fall
and your friends are there no matter when you call
it may not sound like much but its where im from

and it was through the claim the bags we checked
he said ill pray for your brother and did i mention that
italian suits havent always been my style
See i was the quarter back of my high school team
We took state back in 63 and my wife yeah she is still my homecoming queen

Cuz im from the front pew of the wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames
Gave there children Grandmothers maiden name
Yes, it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much
But its where im from

Its where im from

its where im from

November 10th, bring it on!

We have a date, a real date! Jason Michael Carroll's new single, "Where I'm From" is set to hit the airwaves on November 11th, so get your requesting fingers ready. You know what to do, we did it with Livin' Our Lovesong, Alyssa Lies and I Can Sleep When I'm Dead. Call, call again - tell the DJ you love hearing the new song. Request it if you haven't heard it, and keep requesting until you do. If you hear it on the air, give your local DJ a shout and tell them THANKS! and let them know you love that song. Top 10 here we come - and Number 1, you better watch out too. We are bringing JMC's new song, and we are headed for the top.

Found a couple of neat links while wandering about the other night. One lists Jason's "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead" as part of a sugar-free Halloween. Visit Wifezilla's Way: Sugar-free Halloween and take a look, it is a very neat blog post. You can also take a peek over at Fortmann Family: Our kind of love! and read how "Livin' Our Love Song" touches them personally.

Not alot on the tour front yet - hopefully that means the boys are getting in some valuable studio time. We are anxiously awaiting the sophomore CD as the rumors float around about what will and won't be on the CD. What song would you like to see on it?
