Country singer Joe Nichols recorded the classic Roger Miller Christmas song "Old Toy Trains" and released it as a free download today. Nichols doesn't stray too far from the original recording and that's a good thing. It's a simple song and one that is perfectly suited to Nichols more traditional country voice. 

You can listen to "Old Toy Trains" below or you can download the song directly by following this link.

 

In my opinion, "An Old Friend Of Mine" is one of the finest songs to be released this year. You can download it from iTunes or AmazonMP3.

"Rarely does a song come along that accurately describes the pain and the power of addiction. In a lot of ways, saying goodbye to an addiction is like saying goodbye to an old friend; someone who has been there for you in good times and in bad times. I'm thankful I have something worth living for and fighting for, and I'm thankful for this song." -- Joe Nichols

Keith Urban was performing his hit song "Kiss a Girl" when he invited 8-year old Matthew Pinkham on stage to play along side him (skip ahead to 3:05 to see Matthew's appearance on stage).

Matthew was diagnosed with a rare bone disorder when he was 4. He also made an appearance in Randy Houser's "Boots On" video earlier this year.
