Of all the unsung heroes in country and folk music world, Townes Van Zandt may just be the most unheralded. And with the first Sturgill Simpson release in 3 years coming later this week, I feel there’s no better time to listen to some wisdom straight from the mouth of one of the outlaw originals

Just precious. This past weekend, the legend himself Willie Nelson returned to the stage and the 2024 edition of his Outlaw Music Festival tour after missing the first couple of weeks due to an (undisclosed) illness. During his absence, Willie’s son Lukas ddi an amazing job filling in for him and singing all of his

You know how that Alabama song goes… I can already tell this is going to be red dirt goodness. Muscadine Bloodline just announced their next single, “Tickets to Turnpike,” which is slated to release this Friday. They’ve teased the song here and there over the past couple months, but the wait is almost over. Appropriately,

Zach Bryan pulling back the curtain on “Better Days.” For those who call themselves fans of both Zach Bryan and John Mayer (just me?), The Great American Bar Scene featured one song with the musical styling of both artists intertwined with one another – and it worked. Not only did it work, it’s the best

While Johnny Cash was breaking out as one of the best young country artists in the genre, he was also dealing with a lot of demons. The Man in Black’s drug addiction and all the troubles and struggles that came along with it are very well documented. But it was interesting to hear his side

If you’re a fan of classic honky tonk sound, let us introduce you to your next favorite artist: Cory Cross. Cory Cross is a Texas native who carries on the sound of pioneers like Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Jeff Walker, and the living legend Willie Nelson while intertwining the poetic songwriting of those like John

Live from London. Yesterday, while Americans were downing beers and shoving their faces with hot dogs across the pond in London, England, Europeans enjoyed a little slice of America with a country music concert. Morgan Wallen’s Hyde Park show sold 50,000 tickets and set the record for the largest country concert held in the U.K.

A moment little Miranda will remember forever. Last night, Miranda Lambert headlined Grand Casino MN in Hinckley, Minnesota, where she spotted a cute little cowgirl wearing hot pink boots in the crowd, and wanted to say hello and give her a hug: “The cutest little cowgirl is wearing her hot pink boots, I just gotta

Absolutely beautiful. Of course, Johnny and June Carter Cash are an iconic country couple, and have inspired generations with their endearing relationship and timeless love story. The two first met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in 1956, but were both married to different people at the time. Eventually, over 10 years later, they would marry in

Zach Bryan getting some high praise from the great John Mayer. Please don’t roll your eyes when I say “the great” John Mayer. If you still know him as a pop star who sang “Daughters,” do yourself and favor and dive into some of his latest work, where’s he proven himself as one of the

A new fan-favorite. Today, Morgan Wallen released “Lies Lies Lies,” a song he previously debuted as part of his live Abbey Road Sessions, which were recorded in London in Studio Two of the iconic Abbey Road Studios and posted on his Youtube in March. Like pretty much everything he teases, fans were immediately begging Morgan to

Time really does heal all wounds, I guess… Ernest is currently over in London performing at Hyde Park, opening for Morgan Wallen as he headlines the iconic park tonight, which is the largest of the parks and green spaces that form a chain from Kensington Palace through Kensington Gardens. Artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi,

Sturgill Simpson can absolutely blow the roof off of any venue he plays. That includes the historic Studio 8H at Rockefeller Plaza in New York, New York. When the country artist was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live back in 2017, he laid down one of the most memorable musical performances the sketch comedy

Toby Keith and the 4th of July, is there a better combination? The country music legend was well known for his support of the United States military and his patriotic country songs, including hits like “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue,” “American Soldier,” and “Made In America.” In fact, his daughter Krystal recently said

Chase Elliott is here. We battled some audio issues at Nashville Superspeedway ahead of the Ally 400 this past weekend to discuss NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Elliott’s driving style and approach to racing, how his dad, the great Bill Elliott, influenced his love for racing, his favorite kind of country music, what it’s like

I don’t know, Miranda… kinda feels like asking for more trouble. Over the weekend, Miranda Lambert headlined a show at Momentum Bank Ballpark in Midland, Texas, and she had to play referee when she noticed a girl fight breaking out during “Tin Man,” which is typically (and supposed to be) a very stripped-back and powerful

Should I call him Sturgill Simpson or Johnny Blue Skies? I guess back when this interview took place in 2017, he was still universally known as Sturgill. Though around that time, there was somewhat of a teaser hidden inside the art of his 2016 album A Sailor’s Guide To Earth that read: “Beware the dreaded

Two young artists paying tribute to a legend. If you don’t know who Johnny Paycheck is, I feel sorry for you. I can’t begin to describe how much better your day-to-day and overall life would be if you cued up a little Paycheck periodically. Johnny, whose real name was Donald Eugene Lytle, was a huge

Kacey Musgraves joins Zach Bryan again on the Quittin’ Time Tour, but it’s a stadium this time. Last night, Zach Bryan burned down Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, with special guest the Turnpike Troubadours. While the lineup alone was stellar, in typical ZB fashion, he had to take advantage of being in Music City and pull

Getting Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Kathy Mattea and Lorrie Morgan all in the same room for an interview must have been quite the feat back in the 1990’s. Somehow, the late, great Burt Reynolds was able to get the four female stars of country together for an interview on his short-lived TV show Burt Reynolds
