Deadwood Returns: It's the spring of 1877, and major changes are coming to Deadwood.

John Prine on Tour: "It's when you take these songs out and play them for people that you really get to know'em," says the Chicago-born and -raised John Prine, who's about to go on tour. "And it's funny – when we went in to make this record, some of the songs, because we'd been doing them live already, were just so comfortable to record. They were like old buddies almost. That's what I like about performing beyond the actual performing."

"We're gonna have Keb Mo on some of the shows," says Prine of his musical companions on tour. "And we're gonna bring Leon Redbone out for a bunch of the other shows. That's all part of what we're trying to figure out. It's just a matter of making the details work."

"I don't know what exactly I've been doing all this time, though I have been out playing dates. There's something about the road -- you start doing it, sometimes, and you forget about making records. This year, though, I'm gonna do both. I can't wait.”

Tina Turner's Best: Tina Turner launched the release of her new double-CD anthology, All The Best with six national television appearances, performing her brand new single "Open Arms," one of three new songs she recorded especially for the collection. 121,493 copies of All The Best were sold, resulting in its debut at #2 on the Billboard 200. All The Best is both her highest debut on the Billboard 200 and her highest-charting album ever in the U.S.(Private Dancer peaked at #3.) The ensuing momentum has snowballed at radio, turning "Open Arms" into a Top 20 hit at the Adult Contemporary format after three weeks of airplay.

She’ll perform on "The View" on Friday, February 18, 2005. In the past week, she has performed "Open Arms," as well as classic hits from her vast repertoire, on NBC's "Today Show" (in a two-day segment), "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Live With Regis and Kelly," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and CBS' "The Early Show."

All The Best, two discs and 33 songs, features the songs she made famous in the 1960's with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, reviews two decades of solo recordings and brings the story right up to date with a trio of newly-recorded songs: "Open Arms," produced by Jimmy Hogarth, "Complicated Disaster," produced by Steve Robson, and "Something Special," produced by Trevor Horn.
