NASHVILLE - Jackson County's Dustin Wilkes has been told to "Hit the Bricks" and is no longer a part of Nashville Star - country music's answer to American Idol.
Wilkes was voted off the second show of the season as week ago.
"I think I would be probably lying if I said I wasn't disappointed and it didn't work out that I would at least go on to the next show," Wilkes said in a backstage interview with Nashville Star last week after he had been booted. "If I want to be successful in this business...this is not the end. If anything, its a beginning."
Wilkes, the son of Luther Wilkes of Jefferson, now lives in Nashville but still calls Jefferson home. He was one of ten contestants when Nashville Star opened its fifth season on USA Network Jan. 11. He survived the first round cut only to see the experience come to an end last Thursday.
