What the Hell is Going on? With Paul Thorn

A new album that comes out May 8, is the answer.

What The Hell is Goin On? Is exactly the question that many fans of songwriter and Billboard-charting recording artist Paul Thorn will be asking when they hear he s releasing an album made up entirely of cover songs.

Yes, these are cover songs, but most are obscure songs that we haven't heard.

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Thorn about his new release.

"The songs I chose are probably songs you've never heard," Thorn admitted. "These songs inspire me and my own writings, and it gives some exposure to these great songwriters."

For my piece on Thorn, you can go here:

It's a great new album not only for fans of Thorn, but people that might not know about this Tupelo, MS native or the Americana genre of music.

Dial Global Says 20.6 Million Listened to Final Four on Radio

Dial Global: 20.6 million heard Final Four.

Proving the power of sports on radio, nearly as many people heard a broadcast of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four on broadcast radio as heard the Super Bowl. Dial Global says radio’s Final Four audience was an estimated 20.6 million, nearly as large as the 23.1 million who tuned-in to hear the New York Giants defeat of the New England Patriots.

512 affiliates carried Final Four programming between March 31 and April 2.  “We are pleased that our previous research findings still hold true, people desire play-by-play sports on radio in a big way,” Dial Global co-CEO David Landau says.  The network came up with the audience estimates by commissioning Edison Research to conduct a national telephone survey on Tuesday, the day after the University of Kentucky Wildcats’ victory over the University of Kansas Jayhawks.
