Levi Hummon, Filmore, YA’BOYZ “Good Riddance” If you’re looking for a feel-good summer anthem, look no further than “Good Riddance,” the latest collaboration from Levi Hummon, Filmore and YA’BOYZ. This euphoric song, penned by Hummon, Eric Arjes and Parker Welling, is narrated from the lens of a guy who’s moved on from his lonesome, post-breakup, sorrow-drowning

I grew up listening to “Angel from Montgomery” by John Prine, and as it is a widely covered song, I have thoughts on who has done the song justice over the years. John Prine originally wrote the song that appeared on this 1971 self-titled album. He wrote the song after he wrote: “Hello In There.”

While the last six years have provided much fuel for protest music, few have done it with as much clarity and musicality as Raye Zaragoza. Zaragoza, who is of Japanese, Mexican, and indigenous descent, draws from her identity to write powerful, strident protest songs that are equally at home in coffee shops and the Grey’s

I like rockin’ Carrie Underwood… She’s across the pond right now promoting her new album, Denim & Rhinestones, and surprised unsuspecting fans at a Guns N’ Roses concert in London, England at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday night to sing with them. Just last month at Stagecoach, she brought out frontman Axl Rose for a

Adeem the Artist is having a moment. Earlier this year, they completely funded a new record by inventing a “Redneck Fundraiser.” The idea was not to rely on the assistance of traditional crowdfunding sites, but rather to ask fans to give as little as $1 directly to them. The goal was $15,000, and it worked.

So, I finally got around to listening to Riddy Arman’s self-titled album from 2021 the other day. It had been on my list for a while because I heard her song “Too Late to Write a Lovesong” and fell in love with her twangy voice and honest lyrics. Of course, as I was listening, I

With “Country On,” Luke Bryan is speaking directly to the blue-collar fans who pay to see him live every weekend. The country-rock anthem doesn’t name names, but it calls out under-appreciated professions and gives each a little urging. Farmers, cowboys, truckers, bartenders, fireman, Music City guitar pickers and the men and women of the U.S. military

Zach Bryan is making my dreams come true. Just a few days ago, I wrote a post about a new song he debuted a couple weeks back at Bonnaroo called “Small Town Smokeshow” that I immediately fell in love with. Well, ask and you shall receive, because I asked him on Twitter when we might be

Little Big Town are ushering in the summertime with a charming new love song, “All Summer.” Penned by Fairchild, Sarah Buxton, Ashley Ray, Alysa Vanderheym, Madi Diaz and Savana Santos, the romantic tune narrates the story of a woman soaking up the sun by the beach when she suddenly notices a dashing man and falls

Put it in the hall of fame. We all remember back to the summer of 2020, when a rising young country star named Morgan Wallen was having a grand ol’ time tearing up the town and got a little too rowdy at this little watering hole named Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’

Dustin Lynch is celebrating summer with a buoyant new song, “Fish in the Sea.” The feel-good track is all about having a good time and “bringing party mode to the beach,” as Lynch shares on social media. It opens with the sound of waves crashing and a freshly-cracked-open beer before Lynch sets the beachy backdrop for listeners.

Never a bad day when we get new stuff from Randall King, and this time he’s hitting us with a double dose of good news. Randall has been releasing live acoustic versions of some of the songs from his major-label debut album Shot Glass, starting with the quirky “Roger, Miller Lite and Me.” [embedded content][embedded

Rising singer-songwriter Mya Byrne has shared a new performance of the moving track “Where the Lavender Grows,”  recorded live at South By Southwest 2022 earlier this year. “This song is about feeling free, and finding freedom in really hard times,” Byrne explained of the track, which was released as a studio version by her new

If you aren’t familiar with Kat Hasty yet, you’re missing out big time. She’s one of the best up and coming artists in country music, and it’s just a matter of time until she breaks through to the next stage in her career. Hailing from West Texas, Hasty recently announced her upcoming debut album The

British-Nigerian singer Onyi Moss is adept on acoustic guitar as she is with full studio productions, like her prophetic, mysterious “Lost Sheep.” Moss is based in Manchester, and has garnered a huge social media following and accolades for her photography and fashion blogging. “Lost Sheep” is a sonic representation of her photographic style: striking, colorful,

LAWD have mercy… It’s pretty damn incredible how much talent abounds in the Nelson family. Though they actually just kicked off the Outlaw Music Festival Tour together, they’ve been playing songs as a group for years, and just released the Willie Nelson Family album in 2021. And a few years back, Willie and his sons,

Luke Combs has come a long way in only five short years. From his first smash hit “Hurricane” that put him on the map back in 2016, to releasing number one records, and selling out arenas and practically becoming the face of mainstream country music, it’s safe to say it’s been one helluva ride for

Fast-rising country newcomer Bailey Zimmerman has just unveiled an emotional and all-too-relatable music video for his latest song, “Rock and a Hard Place.” The heart-racing visual vividly depicts what happens when a couple is on the verge of a breakup. Zimmerman, who acts as the fictional protagonist, is still in love with his wife, but

Country music has a rich history of remembering certain objects and their importance to the culture of the genre… George Jones’ lawnmower, anyone? But there may be no object or instrument that has a deeper place in that history than Willie Nelson’s guitar “Trigger.” You can get the details and history behind the iconic guitar

Sometimes when you hit bottom, there’s nothing left to do but open yourself up to anything and everything. That’s where Billy Keane found himself when he wrote his latest song, “It’s Okay to Lose Your Way.” “I wrote the song from a place of significant turmoil and change in my life — an impending divorce,
