Brent Cobb has some big news coming our way… We all know the man’s an incredible singer, songwriter, and all-around musician. But now, he’s trying add even more diversity to his music career, as he’s gearing up to drop his first ever gospel album, And Now, Let’s Turn To Page…. The project is slated for January 28th,

Pop-country duo SixForty1 know what it feels like to have your heart broken. They channeled those experiences into their new song “Me and Your Memory,” premiering exclusively on The Boot. “We all have the ‘one that got away,’ whose memory we still live with,” SixForty1 tell The Boot. “We just wanted to shed some light on

If you were hoping to catch the great Chris Stapleton this week in Nashville or Cincinnati, you’re gonna have to wait. Chris has been battling some laryngitis, putting him on the shelf for a show in Sioux Falls this past Saturday. And unfortunately, it looks like the battle will continue this week, forcing Chris to

In his new music video for “Heart on Fire,” Eric Church travels back in time for a journey through his own impressive career. Directed by Reid Long, the clip shows Church inserting a VHS tape labeled “2006-2019,” which then flashes a warning that reads: “DO NOT MANIPULATE COPYRIGHTED MUSIC VIDEOS.” As the video progresses, fans can see that those words were

When you think southern rock, one of the first bands you think of is probably Lynyrd Skynyrd. The legendary band founded by Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns and Gary Rossington in Jacksonville, Florida popularized the southern rock genre after the release of their 1973 debut album, (Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd), when they landed a spot opening

The narrator of Jason Scott & the High Heat‘s “Suffering Eyes” is perpetually unlucky in love — but he’s certainly not blameless in the situation. Scott wrote the newly released song, which is premiering exclusively on The Boot, after a conversation with a patron at a bar he was playing. The man “was wasted and lamenting about

Anytime you make a “Best Of” list for Zach Bryan, a lot is going to be left out. But when it’s a list of his best lyrics, it’s actually impossible to get them all… Zach has quite literally not put out a bad song. Sure, you can argue one is better than another, you can

Scotty McCreery‘s complaint about George Strait songs sound more like a compliment during “Damn Strait,” the younger singer’s new radio single. He just can’t listen to the famous Texan anymore, he says in this commercial ballad. With “Damn Strait,” McCreery is sure to extend his streak of No. 1 hits to five. Right now, he

It’s been about a week and a half since Cody Johnson dropped his much anticipated Human double-album, and I’ve finally gotten a chance to process it all. We kind of had an idea of what we were getting from the project beforehand, as CoJo dropped several heaters before the release. Whenever you have a double-album (or triple

Can ya smell what The Rock is cookin? Dwayne Johnson is a former collegiate football player, professional wrestler, A-list actor, and has even made a little music. There’s a reason why he’s one of the most likeable celebrities in the game right now. However, did you know the guy is a fan of country music?

How is Keith Whitley not in the Country Music Hall of Fame already? Every year, the Hall of Fame selects inductees from three categories: Modern Era, Veterans Era, and Non-Performer, Songwriter, or Recording and/or Touring Musician active prior to 1980. A Modern Era artist is eligible for the Hall of Fame 20 years after they

35 number ones. Two Grammy awards. 16 CMA awards. 17 ACM awards. Alan Jackson is a legend. And today, that legend turns 63 years old. You probably already know how much we here at Whiskey Riff love AJ – I mean, let’s take a quick look inside Whiskey Riff HQ. From “Chattahoochee” to “Chasin’ That

Is the “Mistress Named Music” medley going to make a permanent return to Eric Church‘s setlist? God I hope so. Last week, when a few members of Eric’s band came down with COVID and he was forced to perform the weekend’s shows solo (well, kind of…), he opened his show in Pittsburgh with an incredible

I’ve been blaring “Dispatch to 16th Ave” by Muscadine Bloodline All. Week. Long. First off, you’ve gotta respect what ol’ Gary and Charlie are doing right now. They refuse to bow down to big time Nashville labels and sign their lives away, and they’re making whatever kind of country music they want. They came to Nashville

Riley Green has been on the road and playing hard the last few months as part of the “Beers On Me” tour with Dierks Bentley. In August, he kicked off season two of his much-acclaimed Golden Saw Music Hall video series and debuted episodes with musical acts like Jonathan Singleton and Muscadine Bloodline. Preparations are also underway for his recently announced

Chris Stapleton joins forces with iconic guitarist Carlos Santana for a groovy new track, “Joy.” Written and recorded as a part of Santana’s upcoming album, Blessings and Miracles, out Friday (Oct. 15), “Joy” finds the pair trying to free themselves from the heaviness of the modern world. “Rattling the chains untangled / I see me from a different angle / Now I

I don’t know if I would’ve ever put Midland and Marty Stuart together, but it works. The two acts teamed up for the sixth track from Hardy’s Hixtape Vol. 2 record on a good old fashioned honky tonkin’ song called “Break Your Own Damn Heart.” On first listen, it’s easy to tell it was written

Miranda Lambert is longing for life in the wild West in her new single, “If I Was a Cowboy.” The country star offered a teaser of the song on Friday (Oct. 8), also revealing that the full track will be out on Oct. 15. “If I was a cowboy, I’d be wild and free /

Man, Billy Strings has some serious talent. Billy played at the Mempho Music Festival in Memphis, Tennessee earlier this month and brought out a classic, and I’d say underrated, song about the great city of Memphis. “Train, Train” was released by Blackfoot on their platinum 1979 album Strikes. And while Blackfoot’s version is the most popular rendition of the
