Joseph Edward "Joe" Nichols (born November 26, 1976) is an American country music artist. Between 1996 and 2001, Nichols held recording contracts with the Intersound and Giant labels. In 2002, he signed with Universal South Records, now known as Show Dog-Universal Music.
Joe Nichols was born and raised in Rogers, Arkansas. He was the second son born to Michael Curtis Nichols (May 29, 1956 - July 16, 2002) and Robin Larson Nichols. Joe has an older brother Michael Curtis Jr. and a younger sister Kelli Francis. His father, who worked as a trucker, also played bass guitar in local country bands; eventually, Nichols himself found work in a local rock band, before taking a job as a country disc jockey. Nichols is part Cherokee.
Giuseppe Fappiano (July 16, 1905 – December 23, 1984), known as Joseph C. "Joe" Nichols was an American sports journalist. A columnist for the The New York Times, he won the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award in 1984 and is a member of the media section of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He joined the Times in 1923 originally as a copy boy and became a reporter in 1925. Besides hockey, he also covered boxing and thoroughbred racing. He retired in 1975 and died of a heart attack in 1984.
Joe Nichols is the self-titled debut album of American country music artist Joe Nichols. Released in 1996 on Intersound Records, it produced the singles "Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other", "I Hate the Way I Love You", "To Tell You the Truth, I Lied", and "Wal-Mart Parking Lot Social Club". None of these singles charted on the BillboardHot Country Songs charts in the U.S., but "Six of One, Half a Dozen (Of the Other)" reached number 74 on the RPM Top Country Tracks charts in Canada. "She Could Care Less" was previously recorded by Shenandoah on their 1994 album In the Vicinity of the Heart.
Release history
The album was re-issued twice: first in 2002 as Six of One, Half Dozen of the Other on Row Music Group, and again in 2003 as The Early Years on Infinity Nashville. The 2003 re-issue featured the tracks in a different order, as well as a bonus DVD featuring four videos.
Track listing (Joe Nichols and Six of One, Half Dozen of the Other)
"The Christmas Song" (commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" or, as it was originally subtitled, "Merry Christmas to You") is a classic Christmas song written in 1945 by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé.
According to Tormé, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed (according to BMI) Christmas song was born. "I saw a spiral pad on his (Wells') piano with four lines written in pencil", Tormé recalled. "They started, 'Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off. Forty minutes later that song was written. I wrote all the music and some of the lyrics."
The Nat King Cole Trio first recorded the song early in 1946. At Cole's behest–and over the objections of his label, Capitol Records–a second recording was made later the same year utilizing a small string section, this version becoming a massive hit on both the pop and R&B charts. Cole again recorded the song in 1953, using the same arrangement with a full orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle, and once more in 1961, in a stereophonic version with orchestra conducted by Ralph Carmichael. Cole's 1961 version is generally regarded as definitive, and in 2004 was the most-loved seasonal song with women aged 30–49, while the original 1946 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1974.
The Christmas Song is an EP by American country artist Jamey Johnson. It was released on November 19, 2014 as the first release by Johnson's own label, Big Gassed Records.
The album features four covers of Christmas- and holiday-themed songs, in addition to an original composition by Johnson, "South Alabam Christmas". The song is the first new original composition by Johnson since The Guitar Song was released in 2010.
The EP is intended be a lead-in to more new music from Johnson, expected to be released in 2015.

You got me walkin' up on air And I'm afraid of heights You fill my days w/ thoughts of you That rock my sleep at night I see another side of me When you come into view I hate the way I love you But I do I hate the way I miss you Everytime you're not around And the way you got me thinkin' It's time to settle down I tried to fight the feeling But this time there's no use I hate the way I love you But I do I always used to pride myself I never lost control When I felt I was in too deep I'd pack my heart and go Now I fall all to pieces At the thought of losing you I hate the way I love you But I do I hate the way I miss you Everytime you're not around And the way you got me thinkin' It's time to settle down I tried to fight the feeling But this time there's no use I hate the way I love you But I do I tried to fight the feeling But this time there's no use I hate the way I love you But I do Oh I hate the way I love you
