John Rich sues former Nashville Star contestant
Sunday, April 12, 2009 – John Rich sued a former Nashville Star contestant, accusing the aspiring singer of defaming him by claiming Rich hit him in the face, according to the Associated Press.
Rich filed the suit last Monday against Jared Ashley, who was on during the fourth year of the show. Rich alleged Ashley entered his private club without permission and was removed by security on March 13. The singer, who just released a solo album, also claimed Ashley made a false claim during a radio interview that Rich hit him that night.
Last week, Ashley said Rich's claims were false.

You have to question John Rich's motives when he opens a CD titled "Rich Rocks" with a track titled Country Done Come To Town. What is he: A rocker or a country boy? Well, it turns out, like most popular country stars these days, he's a little of both. (Oh, and he also thinks he's a little rap, too).
Texas features Cowboy Troy, a longtime friend of Big & Rich. The song is not really rap, however, as it mostly speaks about how you take the boy out of Texas, but ...
A better title for this six-song John Rich album is "For Parents of Kids" because these tracks aren't really directed at kid listeners. There are no tunes about animals or toys. Rich never sings in a silly voice. Heck, he doesn't even tell a corny joke.
The most telling song on this collection is Thank God for Kids, once a big hit for The Oak Ridge Boys. The former is significant because all these songs express thankfulness for the little ones in our lives. ...
