  • Kacey Musgraves isn't necessarily the spokesperson for modern country music but her debut album, "Same Trailer Different Park," is powerful enough to shift the direction of the genre.

    This album captures the untamed spirit of Musgraves and has received positive attention from a diverse audience. Released March 19 on Mercury Records, the 12 tracks showcase the 24-year-old's songs that flip around clichés that aren't worried about being patriotic. Musgraves, with just one song, has ended the conventional country music idiom.

  • ABSECON – Two children ages 7 and 9 were airlifted to Cooper University Hospital in Camden Wednesday, May 15 after a head-on crash between two pickup trucks at the intersection of North Shore Road and Faunce Landing Road.

  • Submitted/Clarion Hotel in West Atlantic City to be converted into affordable housing apartments.
