Credit to Debra (Bybee) James: Twitter

The most endearing  James family has  heart, passion and soul, what more can you say of Debra James, mother of musicians Billy Cole (B.C) and Casey James. Debra's voice serves a comfort and joy to listeners. Vocally a star herself, humbled in her ways Debra's musicality conveys truth and authenticity. One could compare Debra to the likes of Emmylou Harris and Alison Krauss. To most Casey James fans Debra is known as Bybee on the social networking site Twitter soon to be a Facebook user but don't count her out of showing up daily on the networking site. Among her musical abilities  Debra has her full time day job among  music and performing. Debra's first released full album Cross That Line in 2006 under the direction of Debra herself Cross That Line reminiscences of music and craft men ship of real Americana traditional sound. The stories told paint a picture that ring true to the all American person. The 12 track album is available for purchase and download on Amazon and iTunes

In my own daily accounts with Debra I continue to feel, see and hear conviction, honesty, spirituality and a whole lot of love.  One says the power and passion of one's voice can move mountains and I truly believe it, it is a rare form in country music today. Debra who is currently working on a brand new album soon to be released will cross that bridge and I for one am looking forward to it. It's all in the family, Debra's youngest Casey is remembered from American Idol season 9. The alum went on to release his self titled debut album in March of 2012 gained a large fan base, toured the country and had a couple hit singles "Let's Don't Call It A Night" and "Crying On A Suitcase". Since then Casey continues to perform and tour and began work on a follow up, the highly anticipated sophomore album due out later this year. Fans can expect a fall release.

What more could there be?, Debra's oldest Billy Cole (BC) has the artistry touch who launched James Bands earlier this year, the bands began during the year Casey spent on American Idol and through out that time every band of all leather hand designed and crafted by Billy himself comes down to the stitch,every band has it uniqueness. You will get that and more from the maker himself. Aside of a designer himself BC is as well a musician, it sure is all in the family.

The tight knit James family may as well have had their ups and downs through the years though one thing for certain God and music keep them moving forward.

Kellie Pickler Readies To Release 4th Coming Album The Woman I Am November 11th

Photo Credited to Black River Entertainment

With any indication Kellie Pickler has seen 2013 fly by, after winning season 16's Dancing With The Stars, touring across the country she was hard at work creating new music, she released her first single "Someone Somewhere Tonight" in May, two months  later released a follow up single "Little Bit Gypsy" currently climbing the charts. Where does that leave Pickler for downtime, on the road or back in her Nashville home throughout the holiday season. Pickler better known as (Mrs. Jacobs) has found herself over the past 7 years, seeking closure and coming to terms  as the woman she is. Perfectly fitting the new album titled The Woman I Am shows Pickler's true colors, the woman she's grown into. The material enough as we've heard live is indication where Kellie has been and is and continues to be.

Live on Good Morning America Tuesday October 1st Kellie revealed the cover art for "The Woman I Am", and with her husband and songwriter Kyle Jacobs and her best friend Summer Miller who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last year went pink as GMA began their campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pickler performed "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" and "Someone Somewhere Tonight" before loosing her composure embracing Summer. These two faced the struggle together this past year when Kellie shaved her head in support of Summer.

In weeks ahead Kellie Pickler will campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness across North East Ohio visiting the Akron area October 15th and Loraine area October 9th  to Benefit 94.9 FM WQMX Your Station Your Country Bosom Buddies Benefit and 99.5 WGAR Guitars For Girls A Benefit Fundraiser Concert for The Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, education, screening and treatment.
"Together we can make a difference one day at a time", Shellie at Country Music City Promotions explains. "I've been in this position since 1993 when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time and again in 2005. A high school friend was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer this past May". I feel as if I've had to remain strong and really stand up for Breast Cancer Awareness for most of my life".
Along with Kellie Pickler, Summer and so many in this world continue to fight for a cause.
