Clint Black Plans 2015 Christmas Tour

Clint Black Plans 2015 Christmas Tour:

To properly ring in the holiday season, Clint Black will set out on a 12-city Christmas tour beginning Tuesday, December 1st, in the Villages, Florida. The trek will make stops throughout New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma, before wrapping up on Sunday, December 20th, back in Black's home state of Texas.

The tour has become something of an annual tradition for the singer-songwriter, and concertgoers can expect material from Black's Looking for Christmas and Christmas With You albums, which, along with renditions of Christmas standards, feature original tunes like "Milk and Cookies," "Coolest Pair" and "The Kid." He'll also perform songs from On Purpose, his first album of new tunes since Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic a decade ago.

Recorded at his Nashville studio, On Purpose is Black's 10th studio album since the neo-traditional (and now-classic) Killin' Time helped change the country landscape in 1989. With myriad changes to the music business since he scored consecutive chart-toppers with his first four singles, Black didn't worry about pleasing country radio programmers with the material he wrote and recorded for On Purpose.

"I like some of the songs I'm hearing [on radio], but we're going backwards with sounds," he tells Rolling Stone Country. "I don't mind hearing reverb and distortion, but I want to hear the different instruments. The musicians who are playing on this record are Mozarts."

Here's the list of Clint Black's Christmas Tour dates:

December 1 – The Villages, FL @ Sharon L. Morse PAC
December 2 – Clearwater, FL @ The Capitol Theatre
December 4 – Pompano Beach, FL @ Isle Casino
December 5 – Saint Augustine, FL @ Saint Augustine Theater
December 10 – Roswell, NM @ Pearson Auditorium
December 11 – Sante Fe, NM @ Buffalo Thunder Resort
December 12 – Laughlin, NV @ Avi Resort & Casino
December 13 – Wickenburg, AZ @ Del E Webb Center
December 17 – Spencer, IA @ Clay County Events Center
December 18 – St. Louis, MO @ River City Casino
December 19 - Enid, OK @ Chisholm Trail Expo Center
December 20 – The Woodlands, TX @ Dosey Doe

Watch Erykah Badu Scold Audience, Sing 'Phone Down' at Soul Train Awards

Watch Erykah Badu Scold Audience, Sing 'Phone Down' at Soul Train Awards:

Erykah Badu wasn't kidding when she asked us to put our "Phone Down." In an exclusive advance clip from this year's Soul Train Awards, airing Sunday, host Badu demands that several distracted audience members in the front row — including Tyrese Gibson — put away their cells and focus on her.

"Tyrese, you're on your phone?" she asks the singer-actor. "You're in the front row on national TV … and you're on your phone?" This annoyance prompts Badu to perform her soulful new track as she scans the crowd for cell phones, retrieving every one she spots. "I can make you put your phone down/As we cruise through the city," she sings. "You ain't gonna text no one when you wit' me."

The 2015 Soul Train Awards air Sunday, November 29th at 8 p.m. EST on BET and Centric. The event will feature performances from Brandy, Fantasia, Jeremih, Boyz II Men, Jazmine Sullivan, Erica Campbell, V. Bozeman, Cameo and surprise guest Bobby Brown. Jill Scott will be honored with the first-ever Lady of Soul Award, and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds will receive the Legend Award.

Black Sabbath Wrote 'A Whole Load' of Riffs for Abandoned LP

Black Sabbath Wrote 'A Whole Load' of Riffs for Abandoned LP:

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has revealed that the group had a particularly fruitful writing session before deciding not to make a follow-up to 13. "I've got so many riffs," he told Q (via Blabbermouth). "I wrote a whole load of stuff for another album, and we met up in L.A. but the others ... well, Geezer [Butler] didn't particularly want to do another album." News broke last month that the band opted out of recording a new studio record for Universal.

In the new interview, the guitarist explained the ensemble's rationale. "After you've just had a Number One album, where do you go from there?" he said. "For the last LP, we did record 16 songs [but released only 12], so we may still put something out from that. We don't know yet."

Asked if he intended to stop playing, Iommi said no. "It's the touring, really [that's hard]," he said. "I'd love to do something with the guys. But, whatever happens, I will do something."

Last September, Ozzy Osbourne told Metal Hammer that the band intended to head back into the studio. At the time, he said he'd prefer to do it "sooner rather than later" and that they would be writing it around Iommi's treatments for lymphoma. "I don't know if we'll be writing in England or Los Angeles, but I'll fly to the fucking moon for it if I have to," he said.

Rather than make a new album, Black Sabbath are focusing on what they've proclaimed to be their final tour, dubbed "The End." The first leg kicks off in Omaha on January 20th and wraps in late February in New York City. They will return to North America in August and tour through late September for a second leg.

Hear Coldplay's Heartfelt New Ballad 'Everglow'

Hear Coldplay's Heartfelt New Ballad 'Everglow':

Eight days before Coldplay release their new LP A Head Full of Dreams, Chris Martin stopped by Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show to premiere "Everglow," a heartfelt, piano-led ballad from the band's upcoming album. As Martin previously told Rolling Stone, "Everglow" features his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow contributing very subtle background vocals to the track.

As for the inspiration behind the track, Martin told Lowe, "I was in the ocean one day with this surfer guy, who spoke just like you'd imagine a surfer guy to speak … This guy spoke like Sean Penn's character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He was like, 'Yo dude, I was doing this thing the other day man, it gave me this total everglow!'

"I was like, 'What an amazing word.' Then the song came completely out, and to me, it's about – whether it's a loved one or a situation or a friend or a relationship that's finished or someone's passed away – I was really thinking about, after you've been through the sadness of something, you also get this everglow. That's what it's about."

Martin previously revealed "Everglow" was "about a relationship's enduring spark." As for Paltrow's involvement on the farewell song, Martin told Rolling Stone, "We just did it in the studio one day. It was just a friendly kind of thing."

Martin's ex-wife isn't the only unlikely guest to feature on A Head Full of Dreams: Noel Gallagher, Beyoncé, Blue Ivy Carter, Tove Lo, Martin's children and a sample of President Barack Obama singing "Amazing Grace" will also appear on the album.

Lil Wayne Drops 'No Ceilings 2' Mixtape

Lil Wayne Drops 'No Ceilings 2' Mixtape:

Lil Wayne is making it a habit of dropping mammoth mixtapes on national holidays: After the Free Weezy Album arrived on July 4th, the rapper's No Ceilings 2 appeared just as fans were sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner. The latest mixtape is the sequel to Wayne's 2009 mixtape that helped bridge the gap between 2008's Tha Carter III and 2010's Rebirth. Download No Ceilings 2 over at Live Mixtapes.

No Ceilings 2 doesn't have much in common with its predecessor other than its overall scope: While the original mixtape had 21 songs, Wayne ups that on the sequel, as No Ceilings 2 runs through 24 songs over the span of almost 100 minutes. Of the mixtape's 24 tracks, one-third of them find Wayne rapping on beats previously employed by Drake ("Hotline Bling," "Back to Back"), Future ("Where Ya At") or Drake and Future (five songs from What a Time to Be Alive). The Weeknd's "The Hills," Eminem's "My Name Is," Post Malone's "White Iverson" and Bryson Tiller's "Don't" are also among the songs reimagined by Wayne.

Future himself appears alongside Wayne and Yo Gotti on one of No Ceilings 2's original productions, "Cross Me." Other guests on the mixtape include Curren$y, Mannie Fresh, Jae Millz, Los, Gudda Gudda, Baby E, Young Money singer Shanell and Wayne's fellow Hot Boys member Turk.

Wayne's Tha Carter V remains tied up in the rapper's legal battle with Cash Money.

1. "Fresh (Feat. Mannie Fresh)"
2. "Back 2 Back"
3. "My Name Is"

Hear Waylon Jennings Sing 'Outlaw Bit' on Tour in 1979

Hear Waylon Jennings Sing 'Outlaw Bit' on Tour in 1979:

In 1976, Wanted! The Outlaws assembled the best of the Outlaw Movement in the studio, with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Jessi Colter and Tompall Glaser lending some of their best material to the compilation. But a new recording of Jennings on tour in 1979 captures the outlaw attitude live onstage. An exclusive release for Black Friday Record Store Day (November 27th), the special 12" vinyl is a full Jennings concert from Omaha and includes a barnstorming version of "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand." (Listen to the track below).

Assembled by Jennings and Colter's son, Shooter Jennings, for his Black Country Rock boutique label, Waylon Jennings Live in Concert: Volume 2 was recorded the year the younger Jennings was born.

"It's from Omaha in '79 and I just feel like he had an energy and attitude that was so badass," Jennings tells Rolling Stone Country. "It also is probably the best showcase of his guitar playing on a live record to date. . . This was the peak of the Outlaw Movement and the peak of his popularity and it really shows it."

Along with the Waylon Jennings Live album, Jennings is releasing two other discs for Record Store Day: a recording by Internet personality the Angry Grandpa, and "A Civilized Hell," a collaboration between Jennings and another son of a seminal outlaw, Lukas Nelson. In March, Jennings will release his new album Countach (For Giorgio), a tribute to electronic-music visionary Giorgio Moroder.

MICHAEL JACKSON NEWS Michael Jackson Estate Sued Over 'Messages to Michael'

Michael Jackson Estate Sued Over 'Messages to Michael':

Michael Jackson's estate is being sued by Sharad Chandra Patel, a producer for the tribute film Messages to Michael, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In the suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Patel alleges his deceased son and friend of Jackson, producer Raju Patel, had a film company with Jackson called Neverland Entertainment and that a 2002 contract details that all proceeds from their films were to be split equally.

Messages to Michael is said to have been a film Jackson wanted to make for his dedicated fans that stuck by him after he was charged with child molestation in 2003; he was acquitted two years later. A 2005 contract signed three months before Raju died of cancer stated that Raju and Jackson would make the film, which was "a tribute to Michael and his loyal fans." The contract specifies that Raju could appoint a nominee to make the film with Jackson "or his nominee," and allegedly Sharad was granted the designation by his son before he died.

Sharad alleges he's been requesting access to Jackson's music and other items to make the film, but that estate executors John Branca and John McClain, have not allowed it. The estate instead made the 2009 documentary, This Is It, in partnership with Sony Pictures.

Patel filed a creditor's claim in 2010 against the state, which was denied on September 3. Per THR, the new suit states "Sharad is seeking access to pre-existing materials, including music rights and home video footage, promised under the agreement now owned by Michael's estate for use in the film."

Jackson's estate has also recently been in the news due to its discussions with Sony ATV, the music catalog that Jackson bought in 1985. The parties are working out terms for whether the catalog will belong fully to the estate or if the estate will sell its own half back to Sony Corp.
