-
Last night (Saturday 20th April), Multi-Platinum selling country artist Scotty McCreery was officially welcomed into the Grand Ole Opry family by Opry member Josh Turner who was joined by a surprise guest, Country Music Hall of Famer and Opry member, Randy Travis.

Scotty performed his Top 6 and climbing single, Cab in a Solo, Fall of Summer from his upcoming album, Rise and Fall due for release on Friday 10th May as well as Randy Travis’ iconic, Three Wooden Crosses before being joined onstage by his friends and heroes, Josh Turner and Randy Travis.

“I stand here tonight proud of the fact that I bridged the gap between the generation of Randy Travis and Scotty McCreery,” shared Josh Turner. “Only time will tell who will be inspired by Scotty.”

After sharing the chorus of the George Jones classic, Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes, an emotional Josh Turner continued: “Scotty is not only a fine singer and a songwriter but he’s a great man, husband, and now father. I’m proud of him and I’m proud that he is filling the shoes of the artists before him. With artists like him, country music is in great shape.”

Josh then presented the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry with his official Opry Member Award and passed the mic for remarks and reflections from the night’s honoree.

Pointing to his 18-month-old son Avery in the audience and holding back tears, Scotty added: “He might not understand tonight but one day I’ll be able to tell him, ‘Hey buddy, this was your daddy’s dream and it came true.’”

Scotty capped the poignant night with a tender performance of his first No. 1 hit, Five More Minutes which he debuted on the Opry stage in 2016.

Scotty, a The Triple Tigers recording artist who just earned a CMT Music Award for Digital-First Performance of the Year, will release his new album Rise and Fall in May. Scotty wrote 12 of the 13 songs on the album including his current hit, Cab in a Solo.

On Saturday 11th May, Scotty will return to perform at the Opry just one day after he releases his new album Rise and Fall.

During tonight's episode (13th November) of Coronation Street viewers were treated to a series of flashbacks this time in the frame are Lauren Bolton and Max Turner who only recently got back together are the ones I have been most excited to see having said to friends for weeks they definitely have to be involved somehow if they were suspects thinking back to everything she's been through.  However, Monday's episode (11th November) Lauren's body language dramatically change in my opinion, and Max's side eye following Ed Bailey buying him a drink, but it was Sabrina Adetiba's sudden reappearance that left me with even more questions. The opening sequence was brilliant with the level of added dialogue as they recapped at the suspects, but Carla Connor's look towards Lauren Bolton during the flashback which entered to real time was interestingly delivered camera angles. With Lauren's son Frankie set to be discharged viewers saw young mum Lauren became incre...
