KEITH URBAN: Home Boy

Keith Urban has been on the road with his Escape Together World Tour since early May, but he's managed to keep his time away from home to a minimum. He tells Nashville's Tennessean, "I wanted not to be out for more than three nights in a row away from my family. I've been able to put our daughter to bed and have dinner with my wife and have breakfast at home. I think the shows have been better for it."

Keith's tour is on hiatus until he picks it up again in Australia in December.

GRETCHEN WILSON: Playing Harder

Gretchen Wilson has released a video for her next single, "Work Hard, Play Harder."

"Work Hard, Play Harder" was used last year by TV network TNT in promos for Saving Grace, before the Black Crowes claimed the song was a copy of their song, "Jealous Again." A copyright infringement suit is still pending.
