set up a Hurricane Relief Fund to help the music people in the New
Orleans area with shelter, food, utilities and medical expenses.

When Tim McGraw took the stage at the benefit concert for the Second
Harvest Food Bank in Nashville – he made sure it was something special.
Nashville’s newspaper, "The Tennessean," reports that Tim’s wife, Faith
Hill, couldn’t make it, but Tim was still able to perform their hit
duet, "It’s Your Love." His duet partner? A cross-dressed songwriter by
the name of Tony Mullins. Although the duet did stop the show, event
organizer (and "Live Like You Were Dying" tunesmith) Craig Wiseman says
the most memorable moment was getting a chance to perform with Ronnie
Dunn. They debuted the first song they’ve written together, Brooks
& Dunn’s new single, "Believe." Craig said he had to fight back
tears as the song received a standing ovation from the Ryman Auditorium
crowd. The benefit raised well over $60,000 for the Second Harvest Food
Bank, one of the organizations responsible for helping feed the
thousands of evacuees displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST OF FAITH HILL AND TIM MCGRAW’S PREVIOUS DUET HITS?

Of the three previous McGraw-Hill collaborations, "It’s Your Love,"
"Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me," and "Let’s Make Love," …"It’s
Your Love" by far ranks highest. It was the only one of the three to
hit Number One staying on top for six weeks in 1997.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina that brought devastation to parts of
Louisiana, native son Tim McGraw quickly spearheaded A Concert for
Hurricane Relief to help the victims. Tim shares, "Just imagine the
children who are involved, the babies and the children who are
helpless." It made him think of his own family – wife Faith Hill and
their three daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey. Tim and Faith talk
about their roles as parents in this week’s Country Weekly cover story.
Tim explains, "We love our life, we love our kids." Faith adds, "Our
children are just the greatest gift from God. On so many layers and so
many levels, they enrich our lives." In the article Faith also reveals
that she and Tim would like to act in a project together. "It would
have to be something special," she says. "I don’t think it would
necessarily have to be a love story." The couple also talks about the
romantic things they’ve done for each other and the possibility of
having more children.

As if that’s not enough – she appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." And
aside from talking with Oprah about her journey to healing, she also
performed her new single, "Attitude" (which she co-wrote with John
Rich). Why is she letting people in to the private life she guards so
fiercely? Wy tells Westwood One, "I didn’t intend for that to happen,
but you know how things go." Apparently, Wynonna’s previous appearance
on "Oprah" was the catalyst. Oprah encouraged Wy to tell her story, so
she started keeping a journal, and the next thing she knew she was in
New York City meeting with Penguin Books making a deal. Writing her
memoir wasn’t easy for Wy. She offers, "It’s one of the loneliest
things I’ve done because I’m so about people. [When working on the
book] I was sitting in a room with a cup of tea in my pajamas for 15
hours a day – at the end, I was ready to put my stage clothes on and
stand in the driveway and wave to people going by."

Be sure to catch a repeat of the 1 hour premiere of Wynonna: Her Story
on CMT –repeat air through 10/10. The 2 CD set and the DVD were
released Tuesday, 9/27.

Wynonna will be the musical guest on The Tonight Show w/Jay Leno on
Friday, October 7th. She will also appear on Ellen, Monday, October
10th. Her book tour continues through October 14th.

Performers at Farm Aid 2005 Presented by Silk Soymilk urged the
sold-out crowd to support farm families devastated by Hurricane Katrina
and to continue the fight for family farmers and good food that was
launched two decades ago. The nation’s largest family farm advocacy
organization celebrated its 20th anniversary with a benefit concert at
the Tweeter Center in Tinley Park, Ill., outside Chicago, not far from
the site of the first Farm Aid, where the music and the movement began.

"It feels good to bring Farm Aid back to the state where it all
started-and to see the seeds that were planted in Champaign in 1985
take root all over the country," said Farm Aid founder and President
Willie Nelson. "The resilience and perseverance of America’s farm
families are helping to build a new system of agriculture."

The day-long show grossed $1.3 million in ticket sales and played to a
crowd of more than 28,000. The Farm Aid concert was broadcast live on
XM Satellite Radio and Webcast on www.farmaid.org.
