Kid Rock is brewing up some big plans for the 4th of July. His American Badass Beer Company will start filling kegs this Friday for the first time with the rocker's signature suds, said to be an "American-style lager."

We'll have to wait a few weeks to taste Kid's beer, however, as he doesn't plan to introduce it to consumers until a July 17 concert in his hometown of Detroit. The beer company is reporting that the new brew is already a success, based on all of the pre-orders they've received.

When you go to a Luke Bryan concert, you're guaranteed to hear the Georgia native perform his down home country hits like 'All My Friends Say,' 'We Rode in Trucks' and 'Country Man.' But you also might do a little headbanging.

Luke has been known to throw a taste of metal into his live show, surprising his audience with a cover of Metallica's 'Enter Sandman.'

"It's a little out there! I hope [Metallica's] James Hetfield doesn't gun me down one day," Luke told The Boot with a laugh, after we saw him perform 'Sandman' at a recent show in Nashville. "I think it adds excitement to the show. The fans seem to love it, and they're singing right along."

Watch Luke perform 'All My Friends Say' and 'Enter Sandman' after the jump.

It didn't take much for Darius Rucker to convince Dierks Bentley to perform with him at the upcoming Homegrown Concert in his hometown of Charleston, S.C.

"He's one of my best friends in country music and one of the nicest people in the world ... We text all the time," Darius told Charleston's WEZL radio of buddy Dierks. "I asked him about this concert and he said, without hesitation, yes. We even changed the date on him and he said he didn't care. He's just the best."

The morning show guys at WEZL poked fun at Darius for gushing so much about his Capitol Records labelmate. And it turns out, they're not the only ones laughing at the singers' friendship.

Ray Price has stopped cancer in its tracks. The country legend is resting at his home in Texas, recuperating from surgery to remove polyps from his colon. Price had the surgery last week, after a colonoscopy revealed numerous polyps in the pre-cancerous stage. The surgery was said to be successful, and the 83-year-old entertainer expects to resume his touring schedule in a few weeks.

The iconic singer of songs like 'Crazy Arms,' 'Heartaches By the Number' and 'City Lights,' Price made a name for himself in Nashville in the early '50s when he took over Hank Williams' band, the Drifting Cowboys, after Williams' death. He then formed his own band, the Cherokee Cowboys, with friends Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Bush and Darrell McCall.

It's another boy for Josh Turner and his wife, Jennifer. The couple welcomed their second son, Colby Lynch Turner, on Friday (June 26). Colby joins 2-year-old big brother Hampton.

"I'm just a proud daddy right now," Josh gushes. "Jennifer gave birth to another healthy baby boy. Hampton loves being a big brother, and we're just one big happy family."

Also last week, Josh wrapped up recording his fourth album. The timing, he explains, was a little eerie!

New music from Tim McGraw is finally headed our way. The country superstar is set to release his first album in more than two years this fall. Titled 'Southern Voice,' the CD is said to be a little different than anything Tim has done before, pushing the boundaries of country music.

The album's first single, 'It's a Business Doing Pleasure With You,' hits radio today. It was written by famed country tunesmith Brett James and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. The song is a humorous jab at the price of love.
