The Buffalo News reports organizers of the WYRK Taste of Country concert decided to halt the multi-act show at around 11 p.m. Friday after strong winds threatened the stage at Buffalo's Coca Cola Field.

One of the last things Levon Helm worked on before he died was a collaboration with Glen Hansard, which just may see the light of day soon.

Despite fighting cancer for the last decade and a half of his life, Helm never let his illness stifle his creativity. Unable to tour, the former drummer for the Band spent the past decade hosting the Midnight Ramble at his home studio in Woodstock, NY, often inviting guests up to perform and collaborate. Hansard, the singer-guitarist for the Frames and one-half of Oscar-winning duo the Swell Season, was invited to participate on multiple occasions, the first time being in October 2008.

Every summer blockbuster is preceded in release with a short trailer to give you an idea of what the movie is about, so why shouldn't albums have the same? Josh Turner gives a glimpse into his latest project, Punching Bag, out June 12, in a clip that takes you behind-the-scenes of the recording process. (Watch it below.)

"The word that really sums this record up is confidence," Josh says. "I want the fans to see that I have learned exactly who I am as an artist, as a person ... There's a lot of different kind of songs on this record and within each song you hear a lot of confidence. It's truly my heart, and a lot of different aspects of it."

Naomi Judd can add radio host to her long list of credentials. The Grammy-winning, best-selling author, TV host and motivational speaker will host "Think Twice," a live, call-in interview show on SiriusXM. The new gig will only last six-weeks, but it will allow the songstress to encourage listeners to "think twice" about a slew of topics.

"I'm a communicator," Naomi says. "Whether I'm expressing myself through a book, one of my speaking engagements or chatting one-on-one with a stranger on the street, I have an insatiable curiosity about human behavior and for questioning the status quo, and can't wait to connect with SiriusXM listeners across the country to share both our common and different experiences and take on issues."

Dierks Bentley '5-1-5-0' Video Gets Dirty

YouTube

Dierks Bentley had a whole lot of fun shooting the video for his new single "5-1-5-0." All you had to do was look at his truck, which ended up being totally caked in mud by the time the shoot was over, to know just how much fun! (Watch the video below, followed by a behind-the-scenes clip in the second video player.)

For his latest clip, Dierks and crew traveled to Big Nasty ATV Park outside of Savannah, Ga., to mix and mingle with a group of mud-bogging fanatics. Mud-bogging is an off-road motorsport in which participants drive their vehicle, usually a truck, through a mud pit. The winner is the person who goes the farthest distance in the mud pit. The action fits the song perfectly as the tune has Dierks boarding the "crazy train" of love. Romance can, of course, not only get crazy but also quite messy!

Once an artist hits the third single from an album, it's fairly common in Nashville that they start thinking about their next project. This is most definitely not the case for Eric Church, whose gold-certified third album, Chief, has garnered the Top 15 song, "Homeboy," his first No. 1 hit, "Drink in My Hand," and the current Top 5 tune, "Springsteen."

"I don't like making records," Eric tells Taste of Country. "It's so hard for me, and it's hard on me because of what I go through as a songwriter and what I go through in the recording process. Every time it almost kills me. I never look forward to making a record."
