Anyone at the Ryman last night? If you were, you’d have witnessed a little bit of Zooey Deschanel, who joined Loretta Lynn on stage to announce that Ms. Z will be starring in a new Broadway musical about the coal miner’s daughter called, er, Coal Miner’s Daughter. And somewhere out there, M. Ward sheds a tear.
– Ren Harvieu & Karen Elson have released a beautiful video for their equally beautiful song, The Train Song. Watch the video after the jump. The track is available on Ren’s Open Up Your Arms EP.
– ABC News had some time with Brendan Benson, and asked him about the future of the Raconteurs. Hint: don’t expect much. But after Jack White finally went Jack White, that’s not too much of a shocker.
