Tugging at the heartstrings of all pet owners. Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows how that pet hardly ever stays as a pet. They become family. And just like you do with actual family, you feel pain when they are hurting or ill and grieve them heavily when it’s their time to cross

Never met her friend’s husband? That’s definitely different… Of course, Dolly Parton and Reba have been friends for decades, and a few years ago, they recorded a song for the very first time together as a new rendition of Reba’s 1993 duet with Linda Davis, “Does He Love You.” It’s well known that Dolly only communicates via fax,

Nothing spookier than the “Red Headed Stranger” singing about undertakers, am I right? I’ve been doing my best to get people into the Halloween spirit here at Whiskey Riff as of late. I’m a big fan of “Spooky Season,” so that might help to explain my deep dive on the ghost of Hank Williams haunting

Heading across the pond. Of course, most of the news surrounding Zach Bryan this week has been about his breakup with Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry. But amid all of the drama and news about what really wend down between them, it was announced that Bryan would headline London’s BST Hyde Park, which is an iconic

Charley Crockett knows how to handle a cover of a country music classic. The Texas native has always done things his own way, mixing the stylings of country and blues to craft a very signature sound. And the man stays busy. Since 2015, Crockett has released twelve studio albums, with his most recent projects being $10

Beyonce is evidently a BIG Willie Nelson fan. And who isn’t really? The 91-year-old living legend just keeps plugging along, releasing new music, and being one of the best country music icons in the business. If anyone is seeking out longevity in the music industry, just look towards Willie Nelson for guidance. Beyonce is one

The Red Clay Strays really know how to bring it. That’s never really been a doubt since the band from Mobile, Alabama burst onto the scene in 2022 after forming some six years prior. The group stayed true to themselves, continuing to lean on stellar songwriting and lead man Brandon Coleman’s powerful voice, and it

Dolly stepping up once again. Of course, over the weekend, Luke Combs and Eric Church hosted their massive Concert for Carolina benefit show, which raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Much of their native western North Carolina was devastated by catastrophic flooding at the end of September. It was an amazing night full of great music

What a guy. Wyatt Flores often shares that he is in awe that his fans and listeners are making his wildest dreams come true, and now Flores is making a fan’s wildest dreams come true. Over the weekend, before the show, Wyatt Flores was approached by a fan and an aspiring artist and decided he

This is one of the best series on the internet. With the CMA Awards around the corner, taking place next month on November 20th, Ashley McBryde is tipping her hat to her fellow Female Vocalist of the Year nominees by covering their songs. Talk about a class act, first of all. McBryde has always been

Wasn’t expecting that one. Eric Church and Luke Combs are hosting their Concert for Carolina tonight, an all-star benefit show at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte to raise money for those in North Carolina who were devastated by Hurricane Helene last month. The North Carolina natives put together a massive lineup including James Taylor (who Eric

Sturgill Simpson was working double duty last night in Nashville: face-melting performer and crowd control. It’s really no surprise that “Johnny Blue Skies” brought the energy for his Nashville stop on his Why Not? Tour. The artist formerly known as Sturgill Simpson (and still known as him, to be frank) has been on a tear

Reba McEntire made her highly anticipated return to sitcom television last week. If you are expecting her new show Happy’s Place to catch lightning in a bottle like her iconic 2000’s sitcom Reba, you might want to pump the brakes a bit. Sure, the new NBC sitcom returns some of the cast members from the

Jamey Johnson is transporting you to Bourbon Street. The Big Easy is known for the jazz that fills the streets, the rich history, and the musicians that line the cobblestone roads busking for money, hoping they get noticed one day and make it big. New Orleans is a city unlike any other, and Jamey Johnson is

The house that George Jones built… literally. Want to live in the house the legendary George Jones designed himself? You could make that dream come true if you 1) are interested living near Nashville and 2) have just shy of $6 million laying around. Jones was known as a country music great, but if he

Watch out, Duck, this man is coming for your woman. Nothing is better than a fan’s sign being recognized during a concert, and no one makes a point to read signs more than Lainey Wilson. She scans the crowd during each of her shows, often finding signs that help make little girls’ dreams come true, like helping

With love songs like “The Painter” and “With You I Am,” you’d think that being romantic would be second nature for Cody Johnson. However, it’s actually not that simple for the Texas native. He may be able to craft a wedding song like no other country artist, but in reality, he hasn’t always been the

Stripping it back. Koe Wetzel recently headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison Colorado, and he took some time while he was there to record a special acoustic performance of “Good Times.” Written by Koe alongside Steph Jones, Charlie Handsome, Josh Serrato and producer Gabe Simon, it’s Koe’s most recent release, which he put out as

Would you have guessed that Riley Green’s country career could have started just by listening to one Merle Haggard song? The “Jesus Saves” singer recently sat down with Apple Music to talk about his new project Don’t Mind If I Do – his third studio album. Besides touching on he and Ella Langley’s “You Look
