There’s one thing for certain about Luke Combs… Ya know, besides the fact that he’s probably the biggest star in country music right now. He’s a man of the people. He ain’t afraid to go out of his way and help out his friends, family, and his fans… and his openers. Ashley McBryde just wrapped

Two country music legends, one legendary country music song. Throughout the entire history of country music, there are few songs as iconic as “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” Penned by the great singer/songwriter and Highwaymen member, Kris Kristofferson, “Sunday Morning Coming Down” was originally released in 1969 by Ray Stevens.

DAMN. Miley Cyrus and Brandi Carlile make one hell of a pair. They performed together on Miley’s New Year’s Eve last night and those two can SING. I don’t think I was expecting to enjoy them as a duo as much as I did, especially because performances on these types of New Year’s Eve shows tend to

THIS is the kind of thing I want to see as we ring in the New Year. If there’s a better way to start 2022 than hearing Lukas Nelson sing a little Luke Combs, I don’t know what it is. Lukas posted a video of himself doing a little acoustic performance of Luke’s current single, “Doin’ This”, and

It’s New Year’s Eve weekend. With the work day already winding down, and some of you not even working at all, we’re staring down a real good time for the next few days. A little Friday happy hour oughta kick things off the right way, a couple lunch beers, or if you’re like us here

Since the early ’80s, the iconic country music venue in Fort Worth, Texas, the great Billy Bob’s, has brought in legends like George Jones, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, and continues to be a part of country music history with some really cool moments in 2021 that included Miranda Lambert and Hank Williams, Jr. The

Two of the best voices in country music on one incredible song? Sign me up. Way back in 2006, a couple Carolina boys, Randy Travis and Josh Turner, got together for a performance of Josh’s hit “Your Man,” and hell if it isn’t just perfection. Seriously though, they really are two of the most distinctive

Sturgill Simpson has always eluded to the fact that he only planned on making five albums, all inspired by different emotions we feel throughout certain seasons of life.

There’s a reason why Turnpike Troubadours will go down as one of the best country bands to ever do it. When you combine the incredible songwriting by Evan Felker and R.C. Edwards, the fiddle of Kyle Nix, and the gorgeous steel guitar from Hank Early, it’s a recipe for perfection. And as great as their
