Billy Dean

Singer, songwriter, actor and animal rescuer — that’s what you can refer to Billy Dean as after his life-saving attempts recently. While vacationing on the Gulf Coast with his family in April, Dean spotted a Great Blue Heron tangled in an abandoned fishing line, trapped.

Early ’90s hitmaker Billy Dean received horrible news while on tour with Kenny Rogers shortly before Christmas. His 1,500-square foot barn burned to the ground after a fire started on Dean Acres, his farm in Smithville, Tenn., a small town located 65 miles east of Nashville.

AND it was to see the Kenny Rogers Christmas and Hits special featuring Billy Dean at the Horseshoe Riverdome in Bossier Saturday night.  Since I had interviewed Billy Dean on the KWKH Morning Show last week, his record reps kindly offered me 2 tickets and meet and greet passes as Billy's guest to go backstage and  meet Billy and Kenny.

Each morning this week,  you'll have a chance to win tickets to see legend Kenny Rogers and his Christmas and Hits Special at the Horseshoe Riverdome this Saturday night.   In fact, the special event also features country artist Billy Dean.

It’s been awhile since Billy Dean released some new music — and even longer since he tasted the kind of chart success he enjoyed with his first few albums in the early ’90s — but he’s making plans to change all that.
