Certainly seems like the White House is trolling Kacey Musgraves with this one… Though she’s from Texas, the “Dry Spell” singer has never been shy about voicing her left-leaning political opinions. The state is currently in the middle of a heated Senate election between current Republican attorney general Ken Paxton and Democrat member of the

We’re back for another month of great country albums. As I mentioned last month, we’re still a pretty small team here, and there just isn’t enough time to cover every single album under the country music umbrella every month… it’s a good problem to have. But the goal here is to get the word out

This past weekend, Kacey Musgraves played shows in her home state of Texas, and during a stop at Dallas’ American Airlines Center, she had Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico there as a surprise guest. Talarico, who recently went missing for 12 days on the campaign trail, was recently endorsed by fellow Texan and

Don’t think we’ll be getting any more duets from these two any time soon. Ella Langley and Riley Green were a powerhouse duo in country music for a while, both on the charts and on tour. And of course there was plenty of tabloid fodder and online speculation about a romantic relationship between the two,

Helping younger artists, just like his heroes helped him. Riley Green released his new album That’s Just Me a couple weeks ago, which features a pretty lengthy 19-song tracklist. It also features collaborations with Hannah McFarland, Jake Worthington, Alabama’s Randy Owen, and my personal favorite, Brooks & Dunn. Riley’s career has blown up over the last several years, and while

She’s truly an inspiring woman. Wynonna Judd has been through a LOT in her personal life over the years, notably with her mother, Naomi, the other half of legendary country duo The Judds, who sadly died by suicide in April of 2022. The Judds were one of the most successful country duos of all time, signing

He ended up with five writing credits on Crisco…sounds like he’s a natural. Last Friday, Miranda Lambert released her new disco-inspired album Crisco, which she co-produced with Jesse Frasure. It features 12 tracks as Miranda explores “heartbreak and hope, highways and honky-tonks, rhinestones and reflection, creating a record that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive.” And there’s

He stays true to himself, and that’s what works. Riley Green released his new album That’s Just Me a couple weeks ago, which features a pretty lengthy 19-song tracklist. It also features collaborations with Hannah McFarland, Jake Worthington, Alabama’s Randy Owen, and my personal favorite, Brooks & Dunn. Riley’s career has blown up over the last several years,

Sounds like Tulsa police had everything under control. This evening, Ella Langley’s concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the BOK Center was canceled due to what was described as “a serious security threat.” According to local Tulsa news outlet KOTV, there was a “false bomb threat call,” which was information provided by Tulsa police, and officers

Some major snubs here. With the 60th annual CMA Awards airing live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in just over a month on Wednesday, November 18th, the buzz surrounding the show keeps growing with each passing day. With Ella Langley, Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves leading the way with the most nominations across the

Country music will be well represented at the highly anticipated “Aerosmith & Friends: California Dream On” event in a couple of weeks. The legendary rock band is having a reunion of sorts on October 29 and November 1 at the historic Hollywood Bowl, and they aren’t going in alone. They’ll be joined by the likes

Looks like Morgan will have a big role in Grand Theft Auto VI. It’s hard to imagine an artist having a better year than Morgan Wallen had in 2025. Riding the highs of his fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, the Tennessee native broke all sorts of records. In addition to dethroning Garth Brooks and becoming the

The Red Clay Strays aren’t afraid to praise God with their music, but they also recognize that not everyone in their fanbase is religious. The band from Mobile, Alabama consisting of Drew Nix (electric guitar, vocals, harmonica), Zach Rishel (electric guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass), John Hall (drums), Sevans Henderson (keys), and frontman Brandon Coleman have

Stops you in your tracks. As time passes, it’s become increasingly clear that Shane Smith & the Saints are the most underrated bands not only in the Red Dirt scene but in music in general. Backed by their patented blend of southern rock and stylings from Appalachian country, the Texas band scored early hits with

Want to own a piece of country music history? Then you should consider buying a red 1958 Chevrolet Corvette that used to belong to the “King of Country” himself: George Strait. If you consider yourself a super-fan of the country music icon that’s penned songs like “Amarillo By Morning” and “Check Yes or No,” you’ve

It won’t end. As you likely already know, Stella Lefty is an indie-folk-leaning “country” artist — I put country in quotations, considering it’s incredibly hard to label the Chicago native in the genre — who dropped her first single, “Kiss Me,” back in November 2024. She released a few songs throughout 2025, but her first

Sure, Wheeler Walker Jr. is riding off into the sunset with his latest project – Pullin’ Out – but he wouldn’t mind a parting gift in the form of his own Broadway bar. The “F**k This Job” singer recently sat down on the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast and broke down why now is the right

Extending ‘Crisco,’ but there’s a catch. Other than Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert has remained what can only be described as the female country artist of the 2000s. With 40 ACM Awards, 14 CMA Awards, three Grammys, 11 #1 singles and seven #1 albums, the Texas native has built a legacy few artists in the genre,
