That’s a damn good country song right there. Lukas Nelson and his band The Promise of the Real shared the stage with his dad, the legendary Willie Nelson, to sing “(Forget About) Georgia” at Farm Aid in Hartford, Connecticut back in September. The song itself is absolutely stunning, which is not really a surprise, considering

Hayden Haddock didn’t write his new song, “Wind It Down,” but he knew it was a winner when it mentally took him to his favorite college dive bar. “As soon as I heard it, I thought of all the times me and my buddies end up grabbing a pitcher of beer at the old dive bar,

Zach Bryan’s time as an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy is officially over. He made the announcement in a post on Instagram, saying that he was honorably discharged after eight years of service and some of the best years of his life “to go play some music”: “I joined the Navy as a 17 year

Onoleigh‘s vision became a reality for her “Make It Hurt” music video. The singer-songwriter’s new clip is premiering exclusively via The Boot; press play below to watch. The video finds Onoleigh and her band on a rooftop in downtown Nashville, performing the song, in which the singer asks for a clean — but not painless — break

Man, I need to get to a Zach Bryan concert… Zach had the honor of playing at the University of Texas a few weeks ago after the Longhorns beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders, and while pretty much everyone thinks that’s one of the coolest things an artist can do, let’s hope his grandpa didn’t

In 1984, Stevie Wonder scored his 10th R&B No. 1 single with “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” More than 35 years later, the Bellamy Brothers are putting their own spin on the song for a new covers album. Written, produced and performed by Wonder, “I Just Called to Say I Love You”

If you’re not on the John R. Miller  bandwagon you need to be. Touted as a “well-traveled wordsmith mapping out the world he’s seen, three chords at a time,” by Tyler Childers, it’s no surprise Tyler brought John to open for him at Red Rocks. John’s recently released album Depreciated might be one of my favorite albums

Chris Jones is at the end of his rope in “Everybody’s Got a Line,” his new song with his band the Night Drivers. It’s premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. To The Boot, Jones calls the song “a moody sort of number that ended up with an almost acoustic ’70s Waylon Jennings

Ol’ Chris Stapleton has had some memorable performances over the years. From concerts, to TV show appearances, and even award ceremonies, there aren’t many places the singer/songwriter hasn’t been. As we await the CMT Artists of the Year award tomorrow, CMT blessed us with some of Stapleton’s greatest performances at the ceremony. The first one

Chase Rice tried to make the most out of the abundance of free time he found himself with during the COVID-19 pandemic. As he filled his time with writing, the singer says he went down a path of self-reflection and evaluation that, in turn, delivered him to a more vulnerable place then he’s used to. These

Pardi time. Jon Pardi is officially joining the ranks of well, just about every other country artist in the business with the launch of a signature liquor. I mean, it’s almost as if you haven’t made it in country music until you have your own alcohol brand. And now, Jon Pardi does. Jon has teamed

Don’t let its title fool you: Josh Grider‘s new song “Life’s a Party” is deeper than those three words let on. The sentimental, traditional-leaning love song, built around a unique metaphor, is premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. “Life’s a Party,” written by Grider with Jamie Floyd and Bobby Hamrick, turns

Jon Pardi has been known to kill a country cover or… ten. We’ve seen him cover everything from George Strait to Tom Petty, Dwight Yoakam, and even Metallica. But this time, he’s covering the legend himself, Mr. Randy Travis. Travis is being honored with the CMAs “Artist of a Lifetime” award, and rightfully so. What

Texas mainstay Randy Rogers Band have released a new single, “Picture Frames.” Co-written by band frontman Randy Rogers with singer-songwriter/producer Drew Kennedy, it’s a heartfelt look back on a love story, as told through the pictures hanging on the couple’s wall. The song’s first verse begins at the beginning, recounting an early date in New Orleans. “We

What a sight to behold. George Strait headlined week 2 of Austin City Limits Festival at Zilker Park this past Friday night, and as always, he did not disappoint. At 69 years young, the King hasn’t lost a step. And among his barrage of hit songs, George treated fans to a cover of the Waylon

Jake Owen shelves all his day-to-day worries in favor of a carefree good time in “Drunk on a Boat,” a new song that arrived on Friday (Oct. 8). The singer dropped his new track after a sparse social media tease earlier in the week, in which he shared an image of a wild pig standing

H to the Damn to the D. I’ve had Hannah Dasher’s major-label debut EP, The Half Record, on repeat for awhile now. And we’ve posted a few articles about Hannah lately, and as I look through the comments I always see people who are discovering her for the first time, usually something along the lines

Elijah Ocean is a relatively new Nashville resident, and his new “Born Blue” music video captures some of his final days in Los Angeles, Calif. The clip was one of his final acts before making the cross-country move. To make his “Born Blue” video — which is premiering exclusively on The Boot — Ocean and

Eric Church is having himself one helluva weekend. When a few members of the band got COVID earlier this week, Eric Church had two choices… either cancel his sold out Gather Again Tour shows in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, or step out on that stage alone. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year chose the latter.
