EARL DIBBLES IS THE COUNTRY BOY

If you don’t know Earl Dibbles, Jr., well you’ve been living under a rock!  Earl Dibbles, Jr. is Granger Smith’s alter ego.  And last summer Granger did a video called "Earl Dibbles, Jr.," a hilariously funny video about country boys.  The video has taken off, and with its viral success of over 419,000 views, fans have been clamoring for more.  There is more!  Earl Dibbles Jr. has his own song, “The Country Boy Song” and music video.  I literally laughed out loud watching it.  Watch it here: http://youtu.be/Vx5A6WMFzig

THE HENHOUSE

The Pistol Annies have launched a new online community dubbed The Henhouse, which features Henhouse Radio and the Live From The Henhouse series, offering what Miranda Lambert calls "advice your momma won't give you." Users can build their own "Annie" or "Andy" Henhouse profiles via Facebook.
