Country music and patriotism have always gone hand in hand.

Many of our favorite country stars have been in the public eye for multiple decades, which means that some of them have changed a lot since when they first hit the stage.

Billy Ray Cyrus is headed back to television this June with the lead role in a new show on CMT called Still the King.

We echo Billy Ray Cyrus when we say that this is the best thing ever. The '90s hitmaker's most famous work of art, "Achy Breaky Heart," has always been a line-dancing favorite, but it's usually humans doing the foot-stompin'. Not at a recent rodeo, however.

The 1990s changed everything about country music.

Country music is a very supportive genre, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few artists who just can't get along. Sometimes it's professional, sometimes it's personal. For country's most well-known feudsters, it was both.

Oh Billy Ray, what have you done? Some 20 years after Billy Ray Cyrus unleashed "Achy Breaky Heart" on the world, he has decided to break out part two. It's a rap song called "Achy Breaky 2" by some guy named Buck 22. The song and video features Billy Ray singing the chorus. Ugh! And we’re being nice when we say that.

It's been almost 22 years since Billy Ray Cyrus' hit 'Achy Breaky Heart' was unleashed to country radio, but the singer may be bringing the song back ... in a decidedly non-country way.

Miley Cyrus caught a lot of flak on Twitter for her performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (Aug. 25), which saw the singer gyrating on Robin Thicke, twerking and demonstrating the wrong way to use a giant foam finger. The uproar led to fans of her famous father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, showing their support on Twitter with the hashtag, #StayStrongBillyRayCyrus.

While country stars' reviews of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards were mixed, artists were nearly unanimous in critiquing Miley Cyrus' performance with Robin Thicke on Sunday night (Aug. 25).

Billy Ray Cyrus' pending divorce from wife Tish took a turn for the sensational on Monday (June 24).

Hurricane Sandy crashed into the east coast on Monday night, and Trace Adkins was among a handful of country singers trying to stay safe in the Big Apple. Chely Wright and Billy Ray Cyrus also took to Twitter to describe what was happening as the 100-year storm flooded the New Jersey and New York coastline.
