It has been one hell of a great year in the music department for Rusty Knuckles. Not only have we been working with the best damn bands, but we also get to promote music from a cadre of individuals that refuse to be categorized or put in a corner. As a group, we kick some damn ass and will only continue to further instill this trend into the future.
Huge shout out to the one and only Billy Don Burns for his track "Stranger", which is on the list for best song on Saving Country Music. We should also let the cat out of the bag on another front. Billy Don Burns also made the cut, for the final round of voting, to be Grammy Nominated for 2013. Although we didn't make the top five list, which then goes out to the public, we were noticed by the larger powers that be and that is an honor itself. Muchos gracias to Aaron Rodgers for all of his efforts.
Support Real Country Music and buy albums from artists such as Billy Don Burns, Jay Berndt, Hellbound Glory, Carolina Still, Kara Clark, Husky Burnette, Fifth On The Floor, Stevie Tombstone, J.B. Beverley and many more.

| Billy Don Burns, Nights When I'm Sober... Portrait Of A Honky Tonk Singer |
They’re songs that make you change the way you see the world, or change the way you see yourself. This year, I may put out a list of “singles” that would better represent the lighter side of the music. But the Song of the Year is reserved for those few compositions that have the ability to change lives and to change the world.
Some of the songs that find themselves on the outside looking in, but are still excellent and worth your ear include virtually any track on both Chris Knight’s Little Victories album and Corb Lund’s Cabin Fever. The problem with putting out an album where every song is great is trying to pick the best one. If it wasn’t for Tom Morello’s guitar solo, Shooter Jennings’ “The Long Road Ahead” would have made it, and the only reason why Shooter’s”Daddy’s Hands” didn’t is because of this year’s strength of the competition.
A couple of other oddball considerations that almost made it were T. Junior’s “Man in Gray” and Sara Watkins’ song of epic sadness, “When It Pleases You”.
Normally I’d gab a little bit about each song, but this year the songs are so strong and remarkably each has an excellent video. So except for a few quick notes, I think I will sit back and let the music speak for itself. Vote for your favorite(s) below, and comment feedback will be taken into consideration for the winner."
