Robert Earl Keen Taps Tyler Childers, Miranda Lambert for Massive Texas Flood Benefit
Robert Earl Keen has revealed a heavy-hitting lineup for his Aug. 28 benefit for central Texas flood relief. Tyler Childers will join Keen and his band to cap a day-long bill of artists including Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall, Jack Ingram, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Cody Jinks, Ryan Bingham, and Randy Rogers for the show at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas, dubbed 'REK and Friends: Applause for the Cause.' Keen told Rolling Stone last week when he announced the benefit that he prioritized 'ensuring the musical intent was solid.' Keen's home of Kerrville was in the center of the hardest hit areas of the floods that began on July 4 and have so claimed more than 130 lives. In discussing the impact on Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country, as well as the daunting recovery and relief efforts that lie ahead, he said, 'Do as much as you can, for as long as you can.'

File Photo by John Angelillo | License Photo July 11 (UPI) -- Miranda Lambert is teaming up with Chris Stapleton on new music. The country music singers released the single "A Song to Sing" and its lyric video Friday. "I want you to know, you are a part of me, baby, you're the heart of me," they sing. "Together we can write a song to sing." The song was inspired in part by Stapleton's relationship with his wife and collaborator, Morgane Stapleton. "Chris understands this emotion from the inside out, because he and Morgane have both lived it. To have someone so soulful and willing to go into the heart of the feelings, to share the pull of the road and creative life -- and what that means when you love someone with every bit of your being is next level," Lambert said, per Taste of Country. Lambert and Stapleton previously collaborated on Stapleton's "What Am I Gonna Do," and both are currently touring.
