Alabama‘s Randy Owen and Jeff Cook told a great Merle Haggard story ahead of CMT Giants: Alabama. In a sense, they told two of them. The pair — along with the late Jeff Cook — started a group called Young Country in 1969 and played throughout the southeast until they were signed to RCA in the late 1970s. “Tennessee River” would become their first No. 1 hit in 1980, and dozens more would follow. Talking to Taste of Country, the men recalled that transition from regional act to national superstars.

Alabama will appear on television a man down Thursday night (Aug. 15). CMT Giants: Alabama is an all-star tribute to the group that includes a performance from Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry. Jeff Cook died in November 2022 after battling Parkinson’s disease. He’d retired from the group several years earlier, but that didn’t soften the blow for the trio’s remaining members and their fans. “It’s like your right arm being gone,” Teddy Gentry tells Taste of Country.

For Roderick Givens, a radiation oncologist, the expansion of Medicaid isn’t just a policy issue. He practices medicine in a rural area in the Mississippi Delta and he sees daily how Medicaid coverage could help his uninsured patients. “I can’t tell you the number of patients who I see who come in with advanced disease, who have full-time jobs,” Givens said. “They haven’t seen a physician in years. They can’t afford it. They don’t have coverage.” This spring, the Mississippi Legislature considered but ultimately failed to expand Medicaid, which would have extended coverage to around 200,000 lo...

Just after lunchtime on June 18, Massachusetts’ leaders discovered that the statewide 911 system was down. A scramble to handle the crisis was on. Police texted out administrative numbers that callers could use, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu gave outage updates at a press conference outlining plans for the Celtics’ championship parade, and local officials urged people to summon help by pulling red fire alarm boxes. About 7 million people went roughly two hours with no 911 service. Such crashes have become more of a feature than a bug in the nation’s fragmented emergency response system. Outages hav...
