That Nashville Sound Saturday Newsbytes - Chris Stapleton, Chris Roberts, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Michael Peterson & More

That Nashville Sound has been on the road this week and is just now catching up on lots of news over the last couple days. Here's lots of country music tidbits in case you missed them.

- For the better part of a decade, I have been privileged to be included in an illustrious group of music critics whom I admire more than they know- and contribute to Nashville Scene's Music Critic's Poll.  The 18th annual issue came out this week and as it has done in previous years, highlighted the truly great in country music more so than any awards show.  Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton and Lee Ann Womack were among the top vote-getters. It's a really solid read and I'd encourage you to check out the links below.
