Things got a little crazy for me throughout January and February. We had a week of snow and ice in my hometown (and if you're from the South you know that means the whole world shut down), then I had the flu, my grandmother was in the hospital for a week, and then I had to get a new car. During that time Dolly stayed busy like always, releasing several singles and contributing to some other albums as well. To make a long story short, I got a little overwhelmed and lost track of posting about the new releases. I'm finally catching up on posting about these as I sit in my hotel in Pigeon Forge anticipating seeing Dolly at the media event at Dollywood's Season Passholder Preview Day tomorrow. We'll get started with the most recent release first and work our way back!
