I’ve often dreamed about kicking back in Colorado, watching the sun rset over the Rocky mountains, with an ice cold beer in my hand, listening to some good ol’ country music. I mean, it doesn’t get better than that, right? And while I suppose the sun will being rising over the Rockies here, but I
Yellowstone is BACK… and all is right in the world. A fantastic cast, great storytelling, beautiful scenery… there’s a lot of reasons to watch Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, but the one that hooked me first? The music. The show obviously stars the very talented Ryan Bingham, and his music is featured pretty heavily, but Taylor Sheridan and

And country music also has no shortage of those

It’s been quite the journey for Zach Bryan thus far. From going viral on Twitter, to recording his first album Diane in an Airbnb, to re-recording a song with Dave Cobb for Yellowstone, and now becoming a household name for anybody with moderately good taste in country music, it’s been a ride to say the least.
Amanda Shires has released a new single from her upcoming Christmas album that will connect with anyone who’s separated from a loved one this holiday season. “Home to Me” is a stunning ballad that finds Shires longing for her companion, but only finding desolation in the freezing winter. “Don’t want to talk, it’s too cold to walk /
Hot DAMN. There aren’t many albums that I’ll click “play” on right at the stroke of midnight (or 11 PM here in central time). But as soon as it was released, I couldn’t pull up Charles Wesley Godwin‘s new album, How The Mighty Fall, fast enough. And it didn’t disappoint. But before we get to
