Willie Nelson goes to a rave, Garth Brooks plays chess, Waylon might be a pedophile and Toby Keith raids his clip art folder.

I can think of no better way to use CMT's online component, Loaded, than for a Big & Rich short film set to the title track from Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace. It opens on Big Kenny holding an empty liquor bottle and a bible, turns out to be a Western and ends with a drunken shootout.

Big Ken, actor you are not. But I'm cool with it as long as he and John Rich have a sense of humor about it. I guess making a little movie isn't too far off from something Cowboy Jack Clement would do after all. Stay tuned to the end for a heroic John Rich leap ... seriously.

Big & Rich have reached the gold mark with their latest album, Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace, with more than 500,000 copies sold.

In fact, he's so serious that he's planning a trip to the region this fall.

Among a huge helping of new programming for CMT, fans of LeAnn Rimes will be treated to the latest episode of CMT Crossroads, which will feature LeAnn alongside Joss Stone.

Boot, scoot and snap yo fingers.

Well we're only half way through the year, but it's already been huge for country music. Toby Keith, Alison Krauss and Big & Rich have all put out albums already while new records from Brad Paisley and Bon Jovi are both hitting shelves next week.

T-Pain, Paul McCartney, the Plain White T's and Rihanna... anna... anna... eh eh eh. Plus, some words of encouragement from Daddy Yankee, and of course, your top ten albums and singles of the week...

Like a lot of fans of traditional or classic country, the AP doesn't know what to make of Big & Rich's "anything goes" style of music.
