Bri Bagwell reveals her true country heart during her new song “Heroes,” and a new music video finds the Texan finally letting her hair out, literally. The clip shows how creators keep creating, even amid a pandemic. The song is a pleasing, traditional country bop that leaves room for each string of the acoustic guitar to

Trisha Yearwood‘s new song “I Dare You to Love” might sound familiar. In April of 2020, Kelly Clarkson released the same song as a multilingual collaboration; in fact, by the time Yearwood heard the demo of the song, the pop and sometimes-country star had already claimed it. “What happened is, publishers play you songs, and when I

Dan + Shay‘s new single “Steal My Love” is a country original that’s all too easy to imagine playing on pop radio 15-20 years ago. A harmonic wall at critical points adds oomph to an acoustic vocal exercise that finds Shay Mooney doting on his lover. Dan Smyers helped write “Steal My Love” with Andy Albert,

It’s no secret that Eric Church is is a BIG Bob Seger guy. He even opened up for him back in the day (shortly after he got kicked off of the Rascal Flatts tour for playing too long and loud). And is latest single, “Heart On Fire,” is even reminiscent of Bob’s hit single “Night Moves.”

Joshua Ray Walker has announced a new album, set for release this fall, and if its lead single is any indication, it’s going to be a fun one. “Sexy After Dark” arrived on Friday (Aug. 13), and is available to hear below. “There’s a deep history of sexy-crooner country songs played by dudes who were

Riley Green, an old music hall, an acoustic guitar and some fantastic singer/songwriters… It doesn’t get any better than that. It’s exactly what you get on his Golden Saw Music Hall Series, which was started last year at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to financially help struggling musicians who were out

Tim McGraw‘s daughter, Audrey McGraw, plays the lead in his new music video for the song “7500 OBO.” The just-released clip is about a truck, but it’s so much more than that. While in the song “7500 OBO” the truck is up for sale became it reminds the protagonist too much of an ex, the

Brace yourselves, folks. Joshua Ray Walker is gearing up to release his third studio album, and according to him, it’s going to align perfectly with his first two albums, Wish You Were Here, and Glad You Made It. The new album is slated for October 8, via State Fair Records. Dubbed See You Next Time, the album

It was yet another random conversation on yet another random night that gave Caleb Lee Hutchinson the extraordinary idea to write a song called “Slot Machine Syndrome.” Essentially, the term refers to someone who keeps going back for more, even though they know what they are going back for isn’t worth it in the first

There has been a ton of good music coming out recently. For the past few months, New Music Friday has actually been something to look forward to, with new singles, EPs, and albums coming out from everyone’s favorite artists each week. Albums from Parker McCollum, Flatland Cavalry, Vincent Neil Emerson, and more highlights of the

Jordan Davis‘ collaboration with Luke Bryan on ”Buy Dirt” makes for a perfectly-country, down-home-comfortable music video, too. The video, much like the songs advises, keeps it simple and focuses on the important things in life: family, the guys (Davis and Bryan) and a guitar. It opens with a black-and-white shot of Davis standing in a field with just

What do you get when you bring a bunch of country artists to a Metallica cover album party? Believe it or not, you get some damn good covers. We’ve heard Jason Isbell’s rendition of “Sad But True,” and Jon Pardi’s cover of “Wherever I May Roam,” and while Isbell masterfully reimagined his into a swampy blues

Betty Reed‘s new single “Happy” sounds upbeat and empowering — and it is, but with a twist. The singer-songwriter penned the song about living with depression, as a reminder that those emotions and moments will not last forever. “One of the things I’ve learned (thanks to my wonderful therapist) is that it’s important to convince yourself

Dolly Parton can officially add novel author to her long list of career accomplishments. She penned an autobiography back in 1994 called Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, and released Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics last year, which dives deep into her songs and the real-life stories behind them She announced today,

When Callie Twisselman thinks about cowboys, she thinks about her father. “I’d get up every morning at 4AM when I was about eight years old and go with him to haul the grain,” the country artist with the authentic-sounding voice remembers. “I remember being really excited just to have the chance to go with my

If you thought Mike and the Moonpies were fixin’ to do some damage after “Paycheck to Paycheck” came out, just wait until you hear the rest of this thing. It’s hard to find a country group who does it quite like Mike and the Moonpies. Their classic country sound, boot-stompin’ honky-tonk jams, and silky smooth

Zach Pietrini and McKenna Bray‘s new song is tender and honest about love, and its accompanying music video matches that tone. There’s no grand gestures, no loud, dramatic moments — just two people living side by side and supporting each other. Directed by Josiah Weiss, the new video — premiering exclusively on The Boot — stars Sierra Peterson and Andy

Prayers up for Josh Ward. He was involved in a horse accident this past weekend that resulted in a pretty serious injury. Surgery was needed to stop internal bleeding, and effectually save his life, however the surgery was a success and Josh is now recovering. Unfortunately, internal bleeding will force even the toughest of cowboys

Without fanfare or advanced warning, Billy Currington dropped his seventh studio project, Intuition, on Friday (Aug. 6). The album is the first full-length project Currington has released in six years, following his June 2015 record, Summer Forever. That project included a number of straight-ahead country tracks, like the No. 1 hits “Do I Make You Wanna”

I’ve been waiting to hear what they were going to do with this song. There’s a good chance you’ve never heard it before, but if you’re familiar with Morgan Wallen, you probably are familiar with his good buddy and songwriting partner Ernest. After digging into the vault of classic sad country songs, some George Jones
