Well, this’ll be wrapping up April blogs! Wow…this month has flown by. Lots of exciting stuff has happened, album release being the main thing!

If you haven’t gotten it yet, please do so. Not a ton of stuff has happened this past week- kinda got to relax this last week while we figure out the next steps in my career…(which ya’ll will be VERY excited about, once I’m able to let them out of the bag). Can’t give away details, but last weekend was the best weekend of my life so far. Let’s just say this next record might have more positive love songs. haha.

So I will be writing & recording this next month, with a few shows here and there and more popping up all the time. So just keep a check on my tour dates on my website whitneyduncan.com. I’m particularly excited about May 19th in San Diego, since I’m also going to make it into a semi-vacation. I haven’t had one of those in a while. I will see you all at the CMA Fest, I hope. More details to come…  We’re trying to figure everything out and so much is pending right now. This is a good thing!

I just wanna say that I love ya’ll & wanna thank you for sticking with me and supporting my music!! I couldn’t ask for more dedicated fans. Check out whitneyduncanfans.com if you haven’t already…they do a great job at keeping you updated.

Whitney Duncan is CMTT’s Celebrity Tattle Tale this month and she is sharing all of the juicy details about what she has been up to, what fans can expect in the upcoming months and some of her plans for CMA Fest.

Wow! A week has just flown by! I got to spend a relaxing weekend at home with my family & my dog, Duchess. I got a new iPhone 3GS, so if you follow me on Twitter, I posted a little video of Duchess. I’m going to enjoy that new feature on my phone for sure:)

On Monday, I shot “5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me” for GAC (ya’ll should enjoy that one, it’s gonna be pretty funny) & also did an interview with the lovely Suzanne Alexander about MY ALBUM RELEASE!! Suzanne told me that she actually runs to my music…that’s pretty cool! I know I have a little exercise mix to get me going, it’s nice to know I made someone else’s mix.

SOOO sorry about all the confusion about Whit’s Wit chat this week. I had it on my calendar for next week April 20th to celebrate the release of the album, but I saw on Facebook where it said April 13th. No biggie, just a mix up. I was just gonna tell ya’ll about the new music video that came out today, Thursday, April 15th on AOL’s theboot.com. It’s a video for the song & title track “Right Road Now.”

We shot this video the day before we shot the “When I Said I Would” video, so I’m very excited for ya’ll to finally get it! I watched yesterday for the first time in a long time, and I really like this video. Also, next week you will be able to purchase it on iTunes the same day as the album April 20th. YAY!! Let me know what ya’ll think of the video when you get to see it tomorrow.

Yesterday my bass player, Michael, took my phone & made a picture of me right before I got my new tattoo (this makes 3 for me) and posted it on Twitter. Ever since I was a little girl, I have LOVED tattoos. I don’t want a lot – I will probably stop after 4 or 5. Before I’ve gotten each of my tattoos, I ask myself, “Will this still pertain to my life when I’m 80 (God willing I live that long)?” If I answer yes, then it’s a GO! I only get things that really mean something to me. Now I know there are some people that are totally against tattoos (So Sorry Mama, ha), but you can’t live your life afraid of what someone else may think. I’m not gonna show ya’ll just yet what I got…gonna let it heal up a bit & will be sporting it on the red carpet this weekend at the ACMs!!!

Speaking of the ACMs… Can’t wait for ya’ll to see my dress! I will give 1 hint: it’s short. I wore a long dress at the CMAs, so decided to pick a really different dress for Vegas. It’s always fun to go to events where I have to get my hair and makeup done and dress up! I’m going in today to figure out what shoes I will be wearing with my awesome dress. I still have to figure out what jewelry I’m going to wear too. I was in Walgreen’s yesterday & ran into Crystal Hoyt from Trailer Choir, and she didn’t have her wardrobe quite figured out yet either. We both bought a Country Weekly (actually I bought 3) & chatted for a bit. Pick up your copy this week, there is a 2 page article about “Right Road Now”.

It’s less than a week before ya’ll will be hopefully listening to my ALBUM!!!!! I’m so freaking excited I can hardly stand it!! Thank ya’ll for all your continued support of my music. Without you, this record would not be coming out. Thank you for spreading the word about my album…keep at it, tell everyone!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO,

Hey everybody! So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged…well, that’s because I’ve been so dang busy. I just got back from Kuwait & Iraq last week. I think my body is still getting used to our time zone. We were there for 2 weeks and played 5 shows for the troops. It was the coolest trip I’ve ever been on, hands down. The soldiers were so receptive & happy that we were there. Some of them have been there for a while, and some of them are going home soon. It was really cool to hear some of the stories from the guys. All of them said the hardest thing about what they do is being away from family, and I know it’s just as hard on the families. But I tell you what, being over there with them kinda made us (me & the band guys) all want to sign up:) Now obviously that’s not an option since my album is coming out APRIL 20th!!!!!!

But anyway, we got to do some really cool things…like shoot a machine gun, which was my favorite. We got to stay in one of Saddam’s palaces a few nights, other nights our lodging wasn’t quite as nice. I guess the weirdest thing was seeing all these lakes in Baghdad, of course they were man-made, actually Saddam-made so he could swim or perhaps skinny dip, I’m not sure. lol We got to tour the Victory over Iran palace & Victory over America palace (in which there was no victory, especially since we were the ones to bomb the thing). One room in the Victory over America palace was the size of a football field – too bad we didn’t have a football. Another thing that was very interesting was Saddam’s love of pastel colors. They were everywhere! It looked like Easter had thrown up on everything! Interesting. And very beautiful too. The band & I got to be a part of a soldier’s reenlistment, and it was very emotional & inspiring. Soldiers can choose to do their reenlistment ceremony anywhere, anytime, and for him to choose to do it with us was very cool. All the shows went great, and it was good to spend some time with the guys afterwards at the meet and greets. At the very last show at Camp Slayer, it rained on us, but we stuck it out and finished the show. I’ve never played in the rain before. It was kinda fun except for the part where my mouth was filling up with water while I was singing. Hahaha! We were very well taken care of over there. I literally felt like the President riding around in our SUVs & wearing our bulletproof vests & helmets. I will remember this experience forever.

After I got back, I realized I had gained a few pounds from all the good eats on the military bases (ice cream at every meal will do that), and had to get ready for a bathing suit photo shoot in Malibu, CA. So I ran, did some hot yoga, & tried to eat healthy before I left. We landed in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon to find out there had been an earthquake. I’ve never been in an earthquake, and I’d like to keep it that way. We woke up Monday morning (day of shoot) to rainy, cold weather. Ugh!! I was supposed to shoot the cover of First magazine on the beach in the sun. There was NO SUN!! So after we got our Jamba Juice (which is the 1st thing I get when I’m on the west coast), God decided to clear it up for us. Sun came out, rain went away, the wind continued, & it did not get any warmer. So I was on the beach in my bathing suit shivering, teeth chattering, while trying to smile. It was pretty funny! I think we got some great shots though! I guess I’ll find out when I get to see the pictures back. What’s the first thing I eat after I get back into real clothes? PINKBERRY!! SOOO good. Also, pizza & onion rings were to follow. I figured I deserved it after being out in the cold all afternoon. We had to fly back to Nashville Tuesday morning, and it was nice to come home to gorgeous weather! Let’s just hope it lasts.

Talk to ya’ll next week…or you can follow me on Twitter.com/whitneyduncan to find out my every move in life. Hahaha!
