WBFF Fox 45 :: Steel Magnolia's Meghan Linsey to Release Solo Project
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - This isn't how we are used to seeing country singer Meghan Linsey, without the other half of her duo "Steel Magnolia" by her side. But the talented musician says it's something she hopes to be doing a lot more of.

"Been working over the past year and a half just writing and recording new music. It's nice to do something different and be able to sing these songs that I've been writing and working on so hard" says Linsey.

Linsey is a little over half way through with writing and picking songs for her first ever solo project.

"I've been through a lot  in last year and a half. To be able to write about it all makes me feel good.The songs are very honest and real" she says.

It's a scary venture, but something she feels passionate about doing.

"Both of us are really doing the solo thing. Just seems to be the right time for us to do separate things" she says.

False rumors started circulating about a year ago that the duo was splitting. Solo projects certainly will only add fuel to that fire, but Lindsey says they are still a duo and have shows booked until the end of the year. While she won't say that this is the beginning of the end for steel magnolia, she does say flying solo feels right.

"Would you say this is you focus" asks Entertainment Reporter Stacy McCloud. "Yes, it's becoming that way" says Linsey. "This is more where my heart is right now. There comes in a time when there are other things you want to do"

Meghan's free showcase is February 20th at 6pm. Doors open at 5:30.

Former Dyer County constable sentenced to prison
May 23, 2013 12:50 GMT

DYERSBURG, Tenn. (AP) -- Former Dyer County Constable Derick Shane Hundley has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison.

The State Gazette (http://bit.ly/14UHydd ) reported Hundley was sentenced Monday after earlier entering a guilty plea to enticement of a minor through electronic means. The government dropped a child pornography count.

Prosecutors said Hundley, who is 30, used a cellphone to try to entice a minor female to have sex with him. Police arrested Hundley last July and found an external hard drive that contained numerous images of minors involved in sex. He resigned from the constable post he had won in 2010 after his arrest.
