A Country Salute Carrie Underwood, Jake Owen, John Rich, Rodney Atkins and Hank Williams, Jr. gave a star-studded thank-you this weekend to thousands of soldiers who have returned to Ft. Campbell, KY from multiple Middle Eastern deployments. More than 75,000 soldiers, families and well-wishers turned out for the free Salute To The Troops concerts as some of country music’s finest honored some of our country’s finest, the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division. A large Sony/Nashville contingent attended the proceedings, with RCA VP/Promotion Keith Gale calling the event a “top 10 career highlight for me.” On the bus prior to Owen’s performance, the two discussed the singer’s high school friends still serving overseas and the honor it was to be asked to perform. Owen told Gale he didn’t have any special words for
Parr To Voice Jerry Lewis Telethon KKGO/Los Angeles morning personality Shawn Parr has been chosen to be the new voice of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. The 44th annual entertainment extravaganza is set for Sept. 6-7 from the South Pointe Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas. Parr succeeds the late Ed McMahon, who served as the voice of the telethon and as Lewis’ co-host for 41 years. “They don’t want to replace Ed this year, they just want to have someone there to carry the torch for whatever they might need in terms of announcing,” Parr told CA, describing his role on the telethon. “Not having Ed is unfamiliar territory, and they’re not quite sure exactly what my role will be. I’ll be the voice guy doing the ins and outs, opens and closes for all the breaks and I’ll be up for over 20 hours with Jerry, ready to go. With a tux on!” Parr said he went through four separate auditions/interviews before being told by the executive producers, “everyone here loves you, but there is one more person you have to impress.” That nod, of course, had to come from Jerry Lewis, himself. “The very next day I got a call from the producer who told me, ‘Jerry wants you. Jerry said ‘Do you hear the passion in that guy’s voice? Do not let him get away.’” Parr has been the voice of the Academy of Country Music Awards for the last 19 years, and for the past 18 he’s been the

the crowd and was just hoping to put on a good show. “During his hit ‘Starting With Me,’ many held up their cell phones as the crowd sang back every word of the song,” Gale says. “You could see that Jake was moved. As the song was coming to an end, the band actually stopped playing. Jake stepped forward and continued acoustically, singing a verse I had never heard before. This new version ended with lyrics that caused an explosion of applause and emotion: ‘To all my friends out there tonight looking at me, I’ve got to thank ya’ll, personally, for keeping us free.’ When Jake came off stage I confronted him about that moment. ’Did you plan that?’ I asked. His reply was classic Jake. ‘Nope,’ he said. ‘It kind of just happened up there.’”

My Tunes: Music ThaT shaped My Life Montgomery Gentry’s Troy Gentry discusses his most important songs, artists or concerts: 1) Jim Croce/Have To Say I Love You In A Song: It was the first song I ever got paid to perform. I think I was 16, and a friend of my father’s asked me to sing it for his gal.2) Charlie Daniels: A concert well worth seeing if you want to be entertained. As a performer, I love to see how he interacts
with his fans. It’s a must-see show.3) Kiss: This was my first concert and I loved the theatrics. They’re very eye-catching and keep your attention. It’s highly entertaining for all the obvious reasons.4) Kiss, Alive: After seeing them in concert, I bought this album and listened to it for weeks non-stop. My brother, a couple of neighbors and I would dress up like Kiss and put on concerts in the yard to this album.5) Aerosmith: Another great must-see show, one of my all-time favorites. I have always been a fan and love to see them live. It is intense rock ‘n’ roll from start to finish, full of high energy. • A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: The Wall by Pink Floyd. Although, I have heard and know the title track, I’ve never heard the whole album.• An album you played or listened to incessantly: Nickleback’s new album, Dark Horse. It’s just a great album to rock out to.
