The Marfa Tapes trio hit the stage at Austin City Limits this past Saturday night for an absolute power hour of music, singing songs from their recent collaborative record. Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall and Jack Ingram took the stage for a songwriters special at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas for the first episode of the 47th season

“P.S. If this is Austin, I still love you.” It was Blake Shelton’s first single, and it’s still one of his biggest hits. It’s hard to believe that the song is 20 years old – and how much has changed since it first came out. I mean, have you ever stopped to think how different

The Wild Feathers‘ “Out on the Road” — a brand-new song premiering exclusively via The Boot — is a shuffling, blues-tinged look at tour life. It’s ironic, then, that band member Taylor Burns penned the “all autobiographical” song while holed up at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think it was me missing those times, and getting a chance to

We all know how it goes once you get a few drinks in you: Money means nothing anymore. $15 for a warm beer at a concert? Why not. $75 to get McDonald’s delivered to your house? Sure. Spend $100 on Amazon and get a surprise at your doorstep a few days later when you can’t

It’s been a banner year for Justin Moore. From dropping his sixth studio album, Straight Outta the Country, in April to notching his 10th No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with his hit single “We Didn’t Have Much,” the singer has emerged from an era of shutdowns and cancellations busier than ever. Now back on

At one point, we’ve all known or been this couple. When it’s good, it’s great… but when it’s bad, it’s ugly. Fights get personal, tears are shed and promises get broken. When you both realize what’s going on, you stop, and things are back to normal. Until they’re not again… Hayes Carll and Brandy Clark

Not everyone can be the total package, and in their newest duet, “Huntin’ Land,” Dustin Lynch and Riley Green describe a relationship with a girl who’s downright incompatible with them in just about every way. However, there’s one important thing about this relationship that’ll keep the two singers invested — at least until hunting season

Nobody does a love song like Luke Combs. He’s got The Trilogy, featuring “Beautiful Crazy,” “Better Together” and “Forever After All” and dedicated to his wife, Nicole. Together, those may be three of the biggest wedding songs of the past couple of years at this point. But Luke just dropped a preview of one that may

Kane Brown and Grammy-winning R&B singer H.E.R. have released a new song, “Blessed & Free,” as well as an accompanying music video. “Blessed & Free” is a mid-tempo self-affirmation anthem incorporating aspects from both of the musical genres each artist represents. “As long as my eyes still see / As long as my heart still beats /

Growing up, you experience it all… The highs feel like the top of the mountaintop, and the lows can feel like the depths of Hell sometimes, but when you reach a certain age, you know it’s all worth it because it shapes you into the person you are today. Cliché? Yes, I know, but you

Trace Adkins has released the official music video for his new song “Where The Country Girls At.” The song features Luke Bryan and hip-hop artist Pitbull, both of whom show up in the video. The pop-country tune has the feel of an updated version of Adkins 2005 hit “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” and the videos bear

Much like the rest of the country, there seems to be a growing amount of division among country music fans, and even the artists themselves. You have some who are more vocal than others about where their allegiances lie. I mean, it’s no secret which side of the aisle you can find artists like Willie

Eddie Montgomery‘s powerful new song, “My Son,” has served as a catharsis for some of the old pain that the singer’s been carrying around for “a long time,” and he believes it happened that way for a reason. The Montgomery Gentry singer has seen what seems like more than one man’s fair share of tragedy.

When you think of rock ‘n roll, what’s the first name that comes to mind? Many would definitely say Elvis Presley. Dubbed The King of Rock and Roll, the man changed the music world forever, although some of reasons he changed the game (shaking those hips like a madman), was the reason a lot of

We’re all important to someone. Logan Mize‘s new song “I Need Mike” is a reminder that, even when life feels heavy and our troubles feel insurmountable, we’ve got someone there to help — someone who needs us, too. Written by Blake Chaffin, Mize’s frequent collaborator and friend, “I Need Mike” comes from Mike’s friend’s perspective. Mike, the

Talk about two legends. I can’t imagine the amount of unreleased recordings of Johnny Cash that are tucked away in various places, but I love when we get to hear some. Just today, a performance of Johnny covering Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” was released and I’m loving it. It was recorded at

Folk-rock band Goodnight, Texas are in “decision purgatory” in their new song “Dead Middle.” The melancholy track is premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. “Dead Middle” paints a picture of a couple stuck in a broken-down car, “32 miles from something.” Whether it’s their literal location or part of a larger metaphor for their sputtering

The news of Sturgill Simpson‘s vocal cord hemorrhage has hit the music world pretty hard. And while the fans are devastated, I’m sure nobody is hurting more than Sturgill himself right now. We knew something was up when he wasn’t able to perform at his Charlotte, North Carolina concert, and had to cancel the remainder

Pistol Annies announced their first Christmas album, Hell of a Holiday, on Thursday (Sept. 30), and they didn’t make fans wait long to hear the first song from the project. The country trio released “Snow Globe” on Friday (Oct. 1), previewing the collection with a jolly love song. The dazzling, festive tune opens with euphoric
