Carrie Underwood is a Very Busy ‘Storyteller’

Out at the HAWK Listener Appreciation Concert Saturday night at Binghamton's Magic City Music Hall, I had 3 people tell me how awesome Carrie Underwood's 'Storyteller' album is and how they have played it almost non-stop since it's Friday release.

For all you Carrie Underwood fans that can't get enough of the superstar, Carrie will launch the new music with multiple appearances in New York and Los Angeles before heading back to Music City to co-host 'The 49th Annual CMA Awards' on ABC with Brad Paisley on November 4th where she is a double nominee.

Carrie has already performed on NBC’s 'Today,' last Friday.  That same night she was with Sam Alex on 'Taste of Country Nights,' that you may have heard Friday night on the HAWK.  On Tuesday, October 27th Carrie is set to chat and perform on 'Ellen' as well as make a guest chat appearance and an outdoor concert performance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

This weekend CMT will celebrate Storyteller with a special takeover October 24-25 timed to the release of the album featuring “CMT Instant Jam,” “CMT Crossroads,”.

On Monday, November 2nd Carrie will appear and perform as part of the pre-CMA Awards special, 'Countdown to the CMA Awards: Country’s Greatest Crossover Hits with Robin Roberts,' on ABC. That same evening Carrie will make a special appearance on 'The Late, Late Show with James Corden' on CBS. On November 5th, Carrie will appear on Lifetime’s Emmy-nominated 'Project Runway.' Carrie will join Emmy Award winners Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn along with Nina Garcia and Zac Posen as a guest judge for the season finale.

In addition to the October 23 digital and CD release of Storyteller, a limited-edition version of the album will be released on 150-gram vinyl on December 4th. The vinyl edition will also include special etched artwork featuring Carrie’s name and the album name on one side of the two-LP set.

Fans can read more about Carrie in the recent 'People' magazine cover story, as the cover subject of Shape’s November issue out now, the 'Country Weekly' cover feature on stands this Friday, and the December cover of 'Cosmopolitan' due on stands in a couple of weeks. This Sunday’s 'Parade' magazine cover features Carrie, with her dogs Ace and Penny, on why she loves Halloween and scary movies.

While Carrie was expecting, she really concentrated on writing.  Here is a list of the tunes on 'Storyteller,' including the writers and as you can see, Carrie has a lot of creative input in this new album.
