The singer, whose debut single "Heads California, Tails Carolina," made her a country star, was a regular fixture on country radio for a decade. But even though her 2005 album "Delicious Surprise," included the No. 1 song "My Give a Damn's Busted," Messina's record company has kept a follow-up album in limbo.

He writes story songs. He sounds like a old-fashioned honky-tonker and looks like a fella who might whallop you upside the head in a bar fight. And he can't help but get a little rankled over the criticism he sometimes gets from co-authoring the Trace Adkins hit "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."

A balance of past and present, frills and substance, guitar ballads and synth, The Protomen’s two full-length albums, “Act I” and its prequel “Act II: The Father of Death” are pieces of a rock opera, presented on stage by a cadre of silver-clad spacemen. The group’s current tour will land it in Austin for four separate gigs at the South by Southwest festival before a stop in Knoxville. jer.cole@gmail.com (Jer Cole)Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:46:00 -0000urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-207225-733849music/newsJer ColeKnoxville, TNBand scene: Nashville's Protomen deliver futuristic rock furyKnoxville.comband-scene-nashvilles-protomen-deliver-futuristic-urn:publicid:www.knoxville.com:news-Story-207225-733849Change733849Usablehttp://www.knoxville.com/news/2010/mar/18/memphis-music-loses-big-star-singer-songwriter-ale/?partner=RSSAlex Chilton, the pop hitmaker, cult icon and Memphis rock iconoclast best known as a member of 1960s pop-soul act the Box Tops and the 1970s power-pop act Big Star, died Wednesday at a hospital in New Orleans.
