Little Jimmy Dickens' Identity Stolen!

A man who claims to be related to Elvis Presley has been caught also claiming to be Little Jimmy Dickens and Stonewall Jackson, allegedly opening credit cards in the Grand Ole Opry legends' names.

Johnny Lee Presley, who also goes by Alvin Roiland, was arrested last week in Murfreesboro, Tenn. According to Nashville's NewsChannel 5, the 59-year-old culprit was found with several drivers' licenses with different names and different looks in each photo. Detectives tell the news station that Presley had just enough information on several people to be able to get credit cards in their names. He then had the cards shipped to various P.O. Boxes in Hendersonville, Tenn.

"I couldn't believe that someone would do a thing like that," the 91-year-old Dickens tells NewsChannel 5. "Regardless of how smart he thinks he is there are a few people smarter than him. That's a proven fact."

Dustin Lynch Fun Facts: 25 Things You May Not Know About the Country Newcomer

Broken Bow Records

Any time a new artist arrives on the country music scene, there are countless things to learn about them. One thing we already know about Dustin Lynch is that he has scored a major hit with the beautiful "Cowboys and Angels." The song is currently thisclose to becoming a No. 1 hit for the Tullahoma, Tenn. native (now there are two things you know about him), and his Broken Bow Records debut makes him a label mate of one Jason Aldean, whose "Take a Little Ride" raced ahead of "Cowboys" into the No. 1 spot (but he's a big Jason fan, so we're sure he's not bitter.) And that's maybe four or five more things you now know about him. Since we're on a roll, The Boot uncovers a plethora of tidbits from the hitmaker himself.

The first celebrity I ever met was ...

Vince Gill. It was an inner-city children's golf tournament. I was there to help out and Vince was there to be the celebrity guy. I told him I was in town to write songs and he kind of took me under his arm and he said, "I'm glad you're here," and he took me over to his car and showed me some new golf clubs that nobody had yet, that weren't even on the market.

My first celebrity crush was ...

Reba McEntire. The Queen.

For the third year, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles will host the "CMA Country Christmas" special. The concert event will be taped in front of a live audience at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 3, to air later this year on ABC. In addition to the pregnant songstress, Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Scotty McCreery, the Band Perry and Keith Urban will be on hand to perform and share their favorite tales of the season.

"I am so excited to be hosting this year and I love inviting the audience to get into the spirit of the season by bringing a toy for donation!" Jennifer says, announcing that for the first time, audience members are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy to benefit less fortunate children. "It is such a joy to watch this holiday special grow -- in not only its talent roster, but moreover in its charitable celebration of the season."

Jason Aldean, 'Night Train': Take a Ride Inside Hot New Album

James Minchin III

Jason Aldean's long-awaited album, Night Train, rolls into stores today (Oct. 16). In an industry where 10 or 11 songs is standard, the new CD boasts 15 tracks, and the country superstar says there actually could have been even more.

"We cut 19 songs," Jason told The Boot and other reporters at a press event for the new CD. "This is the first album that I've ever over-cut. I've recorded five albums, and every one of them has been on an album or on iTunes or whatever, except for four, and that was on this record. We cut the record, we felt like we had what was the complete album and then, all of a sudden, we started getting other songs that we felt were better than some of the things we had cut, which were '1994,' 'Talk,' 'Stare at the Sun' and 'When She Says Baby.' Those four came in really late in the process. To have those four songs sitting there, it was like, 'Man, we've got to go back in and cut, because all it's going to do is make the record better." So really, that was it. We just felt like these were a little stronger, and things that we actually needed more for the album."

Miranda Lambert Good Housekeeping Cover: Songstress Talks Family, Fame and Turkey

Good Housekeeping

Miranda Lambert exudes domestic bliss on the November issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. In the accompanying article, the songstress talks about her first year-and-a-half of marriage to Blake Shelton, how success plays a part in their relationship and their holiday plans. The "Over You" singer also gets candid on learning to live with the inevitable criticism that comes with fame.

"People always look for a reason to hammer you for something, whether it's your weight or your marriage," she tells the mag. "Blake and I have reached that point, and I hate that, but we need to be thankful to be out there living our dream, playing music for a living. If I complain about being apart, I think about military families and realize I have an amazing life. I'm so grateful for the people in my life: my family, my husband, my team around me, and my friends. The rest is icing on the cake."

Martina McBride Book: Singer Turns Party Planner for Potential Project

Martina McBride's talents stretch way beyond the stage, and may one day stretch all the way to your coffee table! "I'm working on a book about entertaining," the singing superstar tells Country Weekly. "It's a book that's going to have tips on entertaining at home and cooking. I love to entertain and throw dinner parties. If I wasn't doing this, I'd probably be a party planner."

The wife and mom of three is known for being a gracious hostess and a great cook, proving her culinary chops on an episode of "The Chew" earlier this year. She does admit, however, that she's not a multi-tasker in the kitchen. "They gave me the list of questions (the host) was going to ask me ... wait ... I have to answer questions and chop things with a very sharp knife?" Martina told The Boot with a laugh, admitting her fears of being on the show.

Brad Paisley's 'Southern Comfort Zone' Stays Down on the Farm

Arista

Brad Paisley wanted to get out of his own comfort zone while recording his latest single, "Southern Comfort Zone," so he made some pretty radical changes to shake things up. He basically tore down the whole recording process and started from scratch, leaving his longtime producer Frank Rogers so that he could produce the project on his own.

Relinquishing the Nashville studio system altogether on this album, Brad instead built his own recording studio on his farm. He also abandoned ProTools and other studio trickery usually used to enhance recordings. A special sign was hung outside the door to remind him how immediate and special the recording process should really be if you want to create sonic magic. It read: "This place on earth, this moment in time, has never been recorded before and will never happen again."
