January 21, 2014 What is country music, today? It seems like such a simple question.
Just when you think this little dude is through with his interpretation of the 'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers, he breaks into the next verse and another round of the chorus. That's pretty good for a kid so young. There are a lot of life lessons to be learned from this hit, and little Liam seems to have a handle on them at a young age.
There's an art to giving a great interview, and not every country star has mastered it.

Kenny Rogers' new album 'You Can't Make Old Friends' is a collection of songs as diverse as this legend's career.

Intense displays of love, hope, anger and patriotism keep the listener pulled forward to hear what will come next.
Kenny Rogers has been a country music superstar for decades, enjoying the kind of longevity that most artists would sever a limb for. As an icon and a legend in his genre, he doesn't need to resort to pulling publicity stunts like Miley Cyrus, daughter of fellow country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, in order to grab (and hold on to) people's attention. So don't expect him to.
