"I loved this song from the moment I heard it," admits Clay. "I love it when men are able to let their women be in control, because, to me, that's a sign of strength. I also love the lyrics. My favorite line is, "She likes chocolate about as much as she likes me.' In my case, that's probably true!" If you would like to send Clay a birthday card or gift through the Crazy4Clay Gang, please contact me. 07-23-99: Don't forget that Clay's birthday is August 19th!! He will be 30 years old!!! Clay's next single is confirmed to be "Live Laugh Love". Even though there has been radio response to "Once In A Lifetime Love", the title track is the next spin-off. Look for a video soon. This song goes for Airplay on August 9th, but you may hear it sooner on your local country station; start requesting it now!!! During Clay's performance during the 1999 ACM awards show this year, some CMA reps were in the audience watching and guess what? They are considering Clay for an Entertainer of the Year nomination for next year! 07-20-99: Clay's new single is more than likely going to be "Once In A Lifetime Love". As a matter of fact, it debuted at #74 on the Billboard charts for the week of 7/24. Clay co-wrote this song along with M. Jason Greene. You may remember that Clay paired up with Jason on a past hit, "Rumor Has It". I believe this is a winning combo! Start requesting this song now, even if your local country station doesn't have the single! 07-13-99: Just to make you aware, a new website is under construction. It will be for the Nashville branch of Giant Records, Clay's label. You can see for yourself with this link, www.giantnashville.com.

Keith recently signed to Giant Records in June and is currently in the recording studio working on his next album with producers Doug Johnson & John Hobbs. 07-12-99: The new album will definitely be out on August 24th; not August 10th. So, be looking to wait 2 more weeks. But as we all know, Clay is worth the wait. And I'll tell ya, this album is awesome!!! 07-07-99: I am hearing a lot of fans tellings me their local radio stations are reporting that Clay's new album will be released on August 24th. So, for now, I'll keep the 10th posted (as the Fan Club reported), but don't be surprised if it does in fact turn out to be the 24th; but let's hope not! Clay has made the 2nd cut for the nominees for Entertainer of the Year for the CMA's this year. The list includes 23 other stars, so it looks like there will be more cuts; so keep your fingers crossed! Vote for the CMT LABOR DAY COUNTDOWN!!!

Cast your votes and cast them as many times as possible! 06-21-99: Here's the latest on the Clayman: Most of you know that Clay did not appear on PrimeTime Country on the 16th. I do not know of a rescheduling date. Clay also did not participate in Fan Fair this year. He also did not put up a Fan Fair booth in his normal spot in the "G" Hall this year. This was all because of the new arrival of Skylor and Clay wanting to be home with his family. As of next year, Clay plans to be there. Correction: I had earlier reported that Gene Johnson was Clay's new Tour Manager; however, the Fan Club is reporting that Darrell Russell is now the new tour manager; taking over for Kyle Fredrick. So, welcome aboard Darrell, we hope to see you on the road sometime! Thanks for keeping up with Clay! As I have heard it, Clay and Lori plan to enroll MaClay into a Christian school once she is old enough to attend. She is now 3 and a half years old. Her birthday is January 14, 1996. Clay welcomed his girls home in banners and bows. When Lori came home with new Baby Skylor last month, Clay was ready. He had the bridge leading to their home decorated with a banner that read "Welcome Home Daddy's Girls: Lori, MaClay and Baby Sky". The banner had pink bows and streamers attached! Happy Father's Day Clay, now it's twice as sweet! Clay performed to a packed "outdoor house" this past Saturday in Monroe NC. Almost all of the crowd stayed through the preceeding 4 other artists (The Kinleys, Mark Wills, Ty Herndon & Joe Diffie) to see Clay, despite it raining nearly the entire time. Clay still wowed the fans with his entertaining ways and was amazed that so many people stayed to watch the shows through the rainy weather. Clay performed four songs off his new album, "She's Always Right", "Cold-Hearted", "Holding Her & Loving You" and "Live Laugh Love". As always with Clay's concerts (and even through a downpour), Clay was right on the money. Those of you who were familiar with Clay's past steel guitarist, Tim Sergent, have probably wondered where on earth he is; since we miss seeing him in concert with the rest of the guys...well, guess you can say he's found some wide open spaces to place in. He's the new steel guitarist for the Dixie Chicks. Good Luck Tim, we miss ya! 06-02-99: According to PrimeTime Country, Clay is still scheduled to appear on the show on June 16th. Still no word if the June 12th Grand Ole Opry appearance has definitely been cancelled. But as of now, your PrimeTime tickets are still good. More later. Kyle Fredrick is no longer Clay's tour manager. Kyle has been with Clay for a long time and we hate to see him go and we sure will miss him. Kyle wanted to pursue other avenues and be with his family. Taking over the job with be Gene Johnson (known to some as "Mean Gene The Dancing Machine"). Gene has been with Clay's crew for a while too and he's a great man for the job. Congrats to Gene! I'm hearing Clay's album is great! (Of course, didn't we all kinda figure that would be the case!) Come on August!! 06-01-99: Thanks to Lori for the following info. Clay has officially changed management companies. Clay was previously managed by the elite Erv Woolsey Company, but has since changed. The new managers are Titley, Spaulding & Associates. They manage such stars as Brooks & Dunn and Kathy Mattea. I want to say thanks to Erv Woolsey & the gang for all their past work and efforts in helping to manage Clay. Job well done. And now I welcome the newcomers; You're managing the best! If you haven't emailed or wrote already, please take the time to write to the Academy of Country Music and Buddy Lee Attractions. Buddy Lee is Clay's booking agent which booked his performance on the May Academy of Country Music Awards show. Please take the time to write a letter (even if you've already emailed the ACMs) and let them both know how much we appreciate it. The addresses for both are listed for you. (Please write the ACM's and thank them for having Clay on this year!) Academy of Country Music 6255 West Sunset Blvd. #923 Los Angeles, CA 90028 (Please write to Buddy Lee and thank them for booking Clay on the ACMs!) Buddy Lee Attractions Attn.: Joey Lee & Tony Conway 38 Music Square East #300 Nashville, TN 37203 The reason for the August delay for the new album was because the photo shoot for the album photos wasn't complete. Clay was scheduled to complete this the last days of May, so everything should be cleared up for the album to be releaased on the current August date of either the 10th or the 17th without additional delays! I've heard that Clay's apprearance on the Grand Ole Opry & Primetime Country have been rescheduled for different dates. Soon as I find out the new dates, I'll post them. If you've already gotten tickets for the Grand Ole Opry, I believe you can get your money back up until the day before the show was to be held. Thanks! 05-24-99: I was hearing different dates circulating about Clay's album release date, so I faxed the Fan Club to ask for myself. Cindy with the Fan Club has told me that Clay's album has again been pushed back. It will release around August 10th, if not on that date. The reason for the delay is the new Walker arrival. Photos could not be taken of Clay for the album and the album could not be finished in time for the earlier given dates. The good news is this gives Clay more rest time so that when he's out in the public eye he will look even more refreshed. We hate the delay, buy hey, Clay's music is worth waiting for! 05-21-99: You can vote for Clay's songs each week for the Roughstock Country Countdown. Your vote determines this chart! So, take the time each week to vote for Clay's current song by clicking HERE. I will also put this link on my main page under "REMINDERS" so that you won't forget week to week! "She's Always Right" is currently #22 on this chart for the week of 5/23/99, moving up 2 spots from last week!

He was announced by Top New Female Vocalist Jo Dee Messina. And once Clay hit the stage, he let 'er rip! He was just awesome singing "Cold Hearted", a song I hope will be his next single. You may have also caught Clay sitting behind Garth Brooks when Garth was awarded the Entertainer of the Year award. Clay gave Garth a congrats squeeze on the shoulder before Garth headed up on the stage. Hopefully next time, we'll see Clay walking up on the stage to accept an award! 05-05-99: Clay will be performing "Cold-Hearted" on the ACMs tonight. Thanks to Sharity for the info.

The album is due out on May 25th. 04-16-99: April Fool's? Yep,Clay pulled off a very great April Fool's Joke. For the entire day of April 1, 1999, Clay and Aggie 96 fm had the entire listening area of College Station, TX fooled. They were made to believe that Clay had bought Aggie 96 and rename is KLAY 96. And that Clay songs were played every few minutes or so. Clay got on the air himself that day and said, "Hi folks, this is Clay Walker and you're listening to the station which plays the most Clay, Clay Radio, KLAY 96". The station actually played Clay songs throughout the day as part of the "new format". The station assumed normal airplay on April 2nd after the joke was over. Boy was a lot of people fooled. I can still hear Clay laughing.... I'm hearing that Clay will be appearing on the Grand Ole Opry on June 12th. More to come later. 03-31-99: Clay will not be a Fan Fair 1999. He is taking time off for the new arrival on the way. The Fan Club will, however, have a fan club booth in the exhibits hall. Also, Clay will not be having a Fan Club party at Fan Fair.

He played in the "Celebrity Shootout" participating right along side other stars including Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, Bill Murray, Michael Bolton and Samuel L. Jackson. Clay's was only one of two sold out performances during the Houston Livestock Show in Houston TX back on March 7th. Only Shania Twain shared the same feat selling out the Astrodome. Clay will be featured in the April issue of "Cowboy Sports and Entertainment Magazine". This is a Houston TX based magazine sold regionally.

Don't miss it! Clay is doing a new song live in concert called "Cold Hearted". The chorus goes like this, "I feel the heat, and it's getting harder and harder to breathe, I feel the sweat, rollin' down the knap of my neck, It's burning me up, Just look at this raging fire you started, don't stop now, Baby that's cold hearted". It's an awesome song that Clay co-wrote. And hopefully it will be on his new album. Clay said he wanted to write a rocking country song that made him think of "Sweet Home Alabama" and songs like that. This one will definitely get you on your feet and tapping your toes, and short of passing out if you see Clay dancing to it! Clay has a new steel guitarist. I'm not sure if he's permenant or temporary, but Ray Wiseman is up on the stage for right now. If I hear of any news on what happened to Tim Sergent, I'll pass it on. If you've seen Clay perform "Then What" in concert in the past, you may have seen some flying beach balls in the crowd. Well, I've recently seen those balls being autographed, so catch one next time one bounces your way. Also, there's a new addition to the stage show when Clay performs this song live. You'll be seeing some giant palm trees take shape on both sides of the stage. They inflate and deflate at a fast pace and sway like they're dancing right along with Clay! 03-22-99: The world premiere of Clay's new video for "She's Always Right" will be on CMT's Delivery Room Wednesday, March 24th.

The 34th annual Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM's) will broadcast on CBS-TV on May 5th. Clay didn't receive any nominations, but we'll be looking to see if he's a presenter. The 1999 TNN Country Music Awards will broadcast from the Nashville Arena in downtown Nashville on June 14th; the week of Fan Fair. Jeff Foxworthy will host this year.
