CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY: WIN "ON THE ROAD WITH THE OAK RIDGE BOYS" BY JOE BONSALL

It's almost Christmas and since we can't afford to do the 12 Days giveaway this year like we did in the past, we wanted to give one of you something that has meaning to it, something that isn't the typical signed CD, tshirt, blah blah blah. We looked around at some of the items we have and decided on something that most closely resembles the meaning of Christmas and also has a connection to one of our best memories of 2015. We decided on a copy of the latest, best selling book from Oak Ridge Boy, Joe Bonsall - "On the Road With The Oak Ridge Boys".

The Oak Ridge Boys, who were finally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year, are about love, generosity, faith, giving back, friendship, family and fan connection and this book is a collection of memories of all of those things.What sums up Christmas better than memories written from the heart? This book has gone over so well with readers that the publishers have come to Joe for a Volume 2.

If you want to enter to win the book, all you have do is tell us your favorite memory of 2015 and tweet it to @lovinlyrics, leave it in a comment on our Facebook page or on our Instagram and use hashtag #BestMemories2015. We'll choose a winner on Christmas Day!

You can only enter once so get your name in there and good luck!

Merry Christmas!

CD GIVEAWAY: WIN A SIGNED COPY OF "PAIN KILLER" BY LITTLE BIG TOWN AND "PAGEANT MATERIAL" BY KACEY MUSGRAVES

** THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED **

KACEY MUSGRAVES CD WINNERS

Max Straub (@TheMaxStraub on Twitter) 

Dawn Corts Mikkelsen

LITTLE BIG TOWN CD WINNERS

Phil Chandler (@PhilChandler13 on Twitter)

Lynn Wagner (@QueenoftheBB on Twitter)

I'll be contacting the winners directly for their mailing information! Thanks for helping us ‪#‎CelebrateSuccess‬!

We're celebrating the success of Little Big Town and Kacey Musgraves with a chance to win a signed copy of their latest CD's, "Pain Killer" and "Pageant Material".

Little Big Town made country music history last week with their controversial single "Girl Crush" being in the #1 position for the most consective weeks, eleven! After much heated debate as to the meaning behind the song, the song soared and is now a record breaking beast!

Kacey Musgraves is one of few artists to make such a huge impact of country music right out of the gate. Having written several hits for other artists, she made a name for herself with her debut CD, "Same Trailer Different Park" and caused a stir with songs such as "Follow Your Arrow" and "Blowin' Smoke". Her follow up release, "Pageant Material" is a more toned down collection of songs that discuss small town life and it seems to be more personal this time around. 

We have a few signed copies of each CD that we'd like to share with you:

3 copies of Kacey Musgraves "Pageant Material"

2 copies of Little Big Town "Pain Killer"

To enter:

Tweet us at @lovinlyrics letting us know which you want to win and hashtag #CelebrateSuccess. 

You can also go to our Facebook page and leave a comment similar to the tweet. Please leave your comment in the original post thread about the giveaway so it doesn't get overlooked!

Don't do both though, you can only enter via one or the other and you can only enter once.

We'll choose a winner on Monday, July 20!

Good luck and thank you for supporting both of these great artists!

We're celebrating the year of the Oak Ridge Boys by giving one lucky winner a copy of the new book penned by Joe Bonsall, "On the Road with The Oak Ridge Boys". 

As someone who's been lucky enough to have known these guys for a few years now on a personal level and has seen and heard things that have gone on while on the road, trust me, this is a book you will want to have and one that any Oak Ridge Boys fan needs to have. 

It's been a great year for the Oak Ridge Boys with their long anticipated nomination for induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. 40 years of singing, traveling, giving back, praise and faith has finally led them to the pinnacle of any country music artist's career. What a storied and colorful career it's been. 

They've had so many career achievements including:

- Being the  first country group to tour the Soviet Union

- Performing for Princess Caroline of Monaco

- Playing Royal Albert Hall in London with Johnny Mathis

- Involvement with Feed the Children, the American Legion and others

- Multiple Grammy, ACM, CMA, Dove and other awards

- Induction into the Grand Ole Opry

- Nomination for Induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame

Joe Bonsall tells the stories like no one else could. He's one of country's most heralded and entertaining storytellers and he's written this book from his own experiences and "situations". This could get interesting! You never know what you're gonna read in a Joe Bonsall book, but you can always bet it's gonna be insightful, candid, honest, meaningful and at times, comical.

We believe the start of any great music career is educating yourself, whether it be as an artist, a musician, an industry professional or even a blogger. You need to hear the honest truth from people that know what they're talking about. That's why we're giving you a chance to win a copy of a fantastic book on the industry from one of the best, Dave Rose. Dave is the co-founder and co-owner of Deep South Entertainment, a record label, artist management, music publishing, merchandising, and concert event production company, with offices in Raleigh, N.C., and Nashville, TN. He is also the business manager of Parmalee, one of the managers of Jason Michael Carroll, and he manages rock bands such as Stryper. For more background on Dave, check out this link - http://www.celebrityaccess.com/news/profile.html?id=319. Dave is not only a kick ass industry professional, he's also a great guy, very down to earth and always willing to lend a hand not only to artists but to anyone interested in learning about the business. He's very well respected, has been a huge positive influence with Lovin' Lyrics and we think the world of him and value his opinion on everything we do. We want to share some of his knowledge with you.

His new book, "Everything I Know About the Music Business I Learned from My Cousin Rick" is an honest, humble look at the industry and is a great read for anyone. His first printing sold out and they've had to go into a second printing! I have a copy from that second printing for one lucky winner.

All you have to do to enter is follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRose9811 and tweet the following "Hey @LovinLyrics! I Want to Learn About Music from @DaveRose9811 #cousinrick". We'll pick one winner at random this Friday!
