A man in Orange County is claiming he’s the late country legend Eddy Arnold’s illegitimate son and wants the singer’s body exhumed for a DNA test to prove it. Arnold, the crooner who brought us ‘You Don’t Know Me’ and ‘I Want to Go with You’, died last May 8 but Christopher Edward Tanner just recently filed a petition in Davidson County, Tennessee to have DNA testing done on Arnold’s remains. The late singer’s lawyer says that his client has always denied having fathered Tanner. And if you wanted to know, Tanner is already 47 years old. Why did he have to wait so long to file a petition?

The house Johnny Cash’s parents lived in until their death is for sale on eBay. The seller claims that by buying the house you are buying a piece of country music history.
According to the eBay blurb, “The beautiful sprawling home with 310 feet of frontage facing Old Hickory Lake has lighted stone pillars with four rail thoroughbred fencing. A horseshoe drive leads up to the estate.
There is also an additional driveway for RV/Bus Parking. The home sits across the street from the lot of the famous Johnny and June Carter Cash mansion, which is now owned by Barry Gibb of the world renowned Bee Gees. Neighboring the home is the former home place of the legendary Roy Orbison, which is next door to entertainers Marty Stuart and Connie Smith.
This four bedroom, three bath home overlooks the spectacular Old Hickory Lake. The home also contains a small recording studio. Other features include a beamed vaulted ceiling in the living room and a huge stone fireplace. The large kitchen still has the built in unique appliances that Mama Cash cooked on. The large two car carport is also used as a patio overlooking the gorgeous lake”.

Dolly Parton – now that’s a star who needs no introduction or any grace of tongue to be described. The diva and country music legend is back with a new album called ‘Backwoods Barbie’. On that album, she has a cover of the 80s classic ‘Drives Me Crazy’ by the Fine Young Cannibals. And like I said, it’s Dolly. Her cover rules! Her cover still has the 80s feel which made the song really enjoyable in the first place but then she adds her own country flavor and it became even better. I never knew I would be into country as much as this and again I have to say – it’s Dolly Parton! How could anyone not like her?
