"With this new site, our first complete redesign since 1996, we have created unique and compelling content and programming which is why so many people come back to Roughstock and why it has been country music's premier on-line destination for nearly 13 years."

"I am excited about the new content focus and the continued growth of the Countdown show," said Don Steel, Roughstock's spokesperson and host.
