Update: Michael, Dee, T Partridge, Paul Dennis, Chris, and Annie are the randomly selected winners of this give away. Congratulations. I will be contacting each of you for your addresses. Thank you all for your participation. Check in later this week for another give away. If you haven’t already, be sure to comb through the Tanya Tucker spotlight at My Kind of Country (linked below).
Thanks to the good people at Gigante Media, Country Universe is pleased to announce that we’re giving away five copies of the anticipated Tanya Tucker album, My Turn, which will be officially released on June 30.
My Turn is an album of covers sung by one of country music’s finest vocal interpreters, which will surely be a wonderful tribute to songs of country music’s past.
To get an idea of what to expect, you can listen to some tracks from the upcoming album here. You can also visit our friends at My Kind of Country to read their excellent and thorough coverage of Tanya Tucker who happens to be their spotlight artist for the month and, incidentally, are giving away copies of the album as well.
Any comment regarding Tanya Tucker will enter you into the random drawing, but if you’re looking for some direction, you can either tell us how a certain song of Tanya’s personally effects you in the form of a Tanya Tucker Testimonial or come up with a cool sentence or phrase about Tanya that involves clever alliteration.
You have until Friday, June 26 to enter the drawing, which will close at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, which should increase the chances of getting the album to you by release day.

Congratulations to Steve from Boston, the winner of our Toby Keith autographed CD contest! Steve’s comment was randomly chosen among all eligible entries using the Random Integer Generator.
Steve’s winning entry was about his favorite Toby Keith song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue”, which was also chosen by other readers as their favorite. Other popular entries included “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, “Rock You Baby” and “He Ain’t Worth Missin’.”
Not getting quite as much love were my favorite Keith songs, specifically “As Good as I Once Was”, “Getcha Some”, “Wish I Didn’t Know Now” and “Burnin’ Moonlight.”
Look for more contests soon. Happy Thanksgiving!

We’re feeling like good guys here at Country Universe, so we’re giving away an autographed copy of Toby Keith’s latest CD, That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy. You can read Blake’s review of the album here.
That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy is Keith’s twelfth studio album, a self-produced set anchored by the #1 hit “She Never Cried in Front of Me” and its follow-up, “God Love Her.” Since releasing his debut album in 1993, Keith has been a mainstay on country radio, with dozens of hits to his credit.
With this distinguished history in mind, here’s the question you need to answer in the comments to be eligible for this giveaway:
What is Toby Keith’s best song, and why?
A winner will be randomly chosen from all eligible entries, which must include a valid e-mail address. We’ll pick the winner on Wednesday, November 26 at 8:00 p.m Eastern. You have until then to submit your entry.
