From the TV set to local music stores, "King of the Hill" continues to find new ways to infiltrate American lives. The soundtrack to Mike Judge's Texas-based animated series includes artists such as the Barenaked Ladies, Travis Tritt with George Thorogood, Brooks and Dunn and Faith Hill. While I'm admittedly not a big fan of the show, the album has a nice blend of country and rock that gives the album both a kick and a relaxing groove at the same time. Despite the combination of artists, the music in the album still manages to flows nicely...
...first single off the album, the Barenaked Ladies' "Get In Line," is still good despite being hyped up endlessly on the show. The soundtrack also includes Tritt and Thorogood's "Move It On Over," which can be heard over country radio stations.

The unlikely twosome have been communing since Gingrich's opening-day speech to the House, where...
...accident that Travis Tritt sang, in the convention's closing hymn, "I wish I could turn the clock back/to the way my daddy said it was before." Nor that the most powerful moment of Bob Dole's acceptance speech came when he invoked the honor of the father he loved, standing all the way on the train from Kansas to Michigan to visit the son he thought was dying in the hospital. For months the campaign has been played as a custody fight--who would be the better father of our country; whom would you trust, Clinton or Dole...
Stations hardly need a true-life drama, however, to concoct a bogus news tie-in. Last week's Academy of Country Music Awards on NBC gave Atlanta's WXIA-TV a chance to interview singers Travis Tritt and Doug Stone on the urgent subject of "why country music is so popular." New York's WABC-TV used a Kathie Lee Gifford special on motherhood as the pretext for a feature on her TV partner Regis Philbin's exercise regimen...
