Country music celebrity houses being auctioned
Other country music performers participating include Trace Adkins, Clint Black, Sara Evans, Little Big Town, Josh Turner, The Wreckers and Wynonna.
"It's a great country when doing something fun with my daughter helps others," said Black, who made decorating his birdhouse a family affair with daughter Lily and wife Lisa Hartman Black helping out. "We worked on the birdhouse on a cold winter's day, which is why there's snow on the roof. It was truly a family effort, with Lisa providing the 'love birds.' And to think it will benefit future songbirds makes the snow on the roof more like icing on the cake!"
Bidding for the auction on www.opry.com ends Sunday, March 18. All proceeds benefit the W.O. Smith Nashville Community Music School, a non-profit organization that has provided music education to thousands of low-income children who otherwise would not have been able to afford such instruction.

These 12 songs - many written with Steve Wariner - prove Black is still quite the sharp songsmith.
Whether he's performing something strongly bluegrass instrumental-ed ("With Love") or pulling out his harmonica for the ...
Clint Black must sometimes feel like an alien fallen to earth when comparing his music -- such as the many fine new songs found on his latest "On Purpose" album - with what's in vogue on the mainstream country charts. Rather than partying till he pukes, as so many of his younger brethren are doing these days, Black oftentimes waxes philosophical. "Not everything's gonna go my way," he admits during the sometimes funny reflections found in "Better and Worse. ...
This is a four-song teaser from Clint Black, including a few covers of chestnuts. He countrifies The Hollies' "Long Cool Woman" and maintains a bouncy feel with the vocal chops to pull the classic off.
