He says “Meanwhile Back At Mama’s” was one of those songs. McGraw’s new album, “Sundown Heaven Town,” is out this week.

KHAZ Country Music News: Merle Haggard on his One Tour Bus Accident
NASHVILLE (AP) – Merle Haggard is fortunate that in all the years he’s been touring, he’s only been in one tour bus accident. He says in 1967, his bus was on a two-lane highway with a truck heading into it and people stopped in front of them. Haggard says their choice was to take the bus into a ditch or kill a bunch of people, so they headed for the ditch. The bus ended up on its side. No one was hurt, the bus wasn’t even scratched. Haggard says they never even got a thank you from the people they saved. He’s got a new, shorter bus now, which means he can do East Coast tours. He says there are a lot of overhangs in the east that would tear the roof off his other bus.

KFIX Rock News: Bon Jovi Photo Book Documenting Tours From 200-’13 Now Available
You may not be able to see Bon Jovi’s Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora together on the same stage anytime soon, but at least you can see them on your coffee table.
Bon Jovi: Work, a book that documents the band’s two world tours from 2010 to 2013, is now available for purchase online.
The 210-page hardcover book features both black-and-white and color images by from the New Jersey rockers’ official tour photographer, David Bergman.
You’ll see the band onstage, backstage, at home and even in the operating room, as Jon receives treatment for a knee injury.
A special section of the book features private photos personally taken by the singer.
“From the happy times to the harrowed, these images let you transcend the frame of the photograph to connect to specific moments whenever you open this book,” Jon writes in the foreword, saying that it captures “what it’s like to travel the world with our band, inviting you to be a part of the action.”
He adds, “They say every picture tells a story. David’s pictures tell our story.”
You can order the book, which costs $60, now at BonJovi.com/work.
