Prior to getting the Grammys' lifetime achievement award in a few days, Glen Campbell stopped by the Grammy Museum's 200-seat theater in downtown L.A. for one of the most intimate shows he's ever done. As small as the venue is, there was still an elephant in the room: Campbell's Alzheimer's, which makes every show a potential adventure.

No one, including the museum director who conducted a brief Q&A, was eager to address that elephant... except, in an offhanded, disarmingly jokey way, Campbell himself.

"I forget a lot lately! Do y'all ever get that?" he playfully asked at one point between songs.

Move over, Blake Shelton! Another country star is set to captivate audiences on the hit talent reality show The Voice.

In Australia, that is. Famous Aussie Keith Urban has signed on for his homeland's version of The Voice as one of the four celeb coaches. He'll be joining fellow countrywoman Delta Goodrem, soul sensation Seal, and rocker Joel Madden from Good Charlotte (whom you might also know as Mr. Nicole Richie).The Voice is coming to Australia!

The show has released a promo video, which includes lots of quotes from Urban on what he considers star material. His number one criteria? "Authenticity."

Hey, congrats, George Strait--we hear that you're a brand-new grandpa this month! Strait, who will turn 60 in May, broke the happy news on Friday night while playing a date in Phoenix. George Strait is a new grandfather!

The parents are Strait's son Bubba--an accomplished songwriter who is credited on more than half the tracks off his dad's latest album--and daughter-in-law Tamara. The babe was born on Thursday, February 2. This is the couple's first child, and also the first grandchild for George and wife Norma Strait.

Sure, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton grabbed the spotlight at Super Bowl XLVI with their sweet pregame duet of "America The Beautiful"...but did you manage to catch another little bit of country music during the telecast? This one wasn't on the field, but rather the other part of the Super Bowl that everyone looks forward to--the commercials!Jennifer Nettles

If you caught the spot for Pepsi Max, which featured (among lots of other things) a cameo from famed talk host Regis Philbin, you probably heard a country classic being played in the intro. It was none other than Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, who recorded a version of Hank Williams Sr.'s "Your Cheatin' Heart" just for the commercial.

Pop music may have ruled the field at Super Bowl XLVI--what with Kelly Clarkson kicking things off with the National Anthem, and Madonna handling halftime duties. But that's not to say country music wasn't well represented at the big game.

It was, and quite nicely indeed, when husband-and-wife team (aka Nashville's it couple) Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert took to the field to perform a stirring pre-game rendition of "America The Beautiful."

Reception to the performance was across-the-board positive, with country stars including Reba McEntire, Dierks Bentley, and Martina McBride tweeting congratulations to the pair for their stellar performance. Industry publication Billboard even tweeted praise, with hashtag "adorable."

Taylor Swift is a country girl at heart, but she's been known to flirt with other genres way out of that ballpark (her Speak Now tour last year included duets with T.I., Nicki Minaj, and B.o.B, among others). However, there's one vocal style that we haven't heard her do yet.

In a spot for the upcoming 2012 Grammy Awards, Swift joins legendary rapper and NCIS actor LL Cool J to try her hand--er, pipes--at beatboxing.

When Lee Brice sits down with his guitar in the Ram Country studios and belts out a flawless rendition of the Eli Young Band's hit "Crazy Girl"--one might think, gee, this song sounds like he was made to sing it.

The truth of the matter? The song was made for him...or, by him, to be more exact. Brice, who started out his path to stardom as a Nashville songwriter, is the original composer of the tune--one of many he's penned that have ended up being hits for other artists such as Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw.

Guess what? Carrie Underwood's eagerly anticipated fourth album still does not have a title. But--it finally has a release date!

Underwood's new record will drop on May 1. As reported last month, the first single "Good Girl" is set to hit radio on February 23. The album will be produced by Mark Bright, who is credited on Underwood's first three albums as well. New music from Carrie on the way
