Hailey Whitters got a big break from Brent Cobb in the fall of 2019, when he asked her to open his Sucker for a Good Time Tour. Now that she’s “living the dream” — finding acclaim with her newest album — she simply had to enlist her fellow singer-songwriter for a song. Cobb joins Whitters

Kentucky substance, Oklahoma style. I’m admittedly fairly new to Read Southall Band, but if you can pull off a southern rock cover of Tyler Childers, you have my attention. Way back in 2017, the Read Southall Band performed in Stillwater during Oklahoma State’s Homecoming Week (must have been a hell of a time) and busted

Impatience got the best of Morgan Wallen, so he dropped two bonus tracks off his wildly popular new album, Dangerous: The Double Album on Friday (Jan. 29). Wallen shared “Bandaid on a Bullet Hole” and “This Side of a Dust Cloud,” which were previously offered only as Target-exclusive tracks, adding to his collection of 30 songs on

Welp, so much for Target… Remember how Walmart accidentally leaked Morgan’s album a week early? And you remember how Morgan basically said fuck Walmart, buy the album at Target and you’ll get a couple bonus tracks? Welp, those two bonus tracks, “Bandaid On A Bullet Hole” and “This Side Of A Dust Cloud” are now

Country singer Kelsey Lamb is unapologetically going back to an ex in her new song “Come Here to Talk.” Lamb pitched the title “Come Here to Talk” to co-writers Taylor Goyette and Joe Tounge during a Zoom-based writing session early in the COVID-19 pandemic. “[I] immediately fell in love with what we started. We wrote the

It just might be. When it comes to playlists, good luck finding something this good. Just not possible – 120 songs of ’90s country gold for your bad days, your good days, your drinking days, any day really. Grab a 30 rack, a bottle of whiskey, a joint, and turn it up. Follow Whiskey Riff

Nickel Creek and I’m With Her member Sara Watkins‘ forthcoming new album is for families. Under the Pepper Tree finds the Grammy-winning musician revisiting the music of her childhood and reimagining it in her own way. Due out on March 26, Watkins’ new record features 15 songs for listeners of all ages. In addition to two

Chris Stapleton… offend people? Chris might be one of the nicest guys in all of country music, but even nice guys like Chris can accidentally piss people off from time to time. People like… Katy Perry. According to WKML, Chris met Katy Perry for the first time at the Grammys a couple years back while

Sara Petite‘s “The Misfits” music video embraces an old-school aesthetic. Press play above to watch the new clip, premiering exclusively on The Boot. Petite’s new video opens with a distinctly retro graphic: “Sara Petite Presents The Misfits” it reads in an ’80s style, on the screen of an old television set. Throughout the song, the

Do you ever wish you were born a decade earlier? Cause damn I do. The ‘90s looked like a rowdy time down in the south. The “business in the front, party in the back” mullet was at its peak. Big billed trucker hats were the headwear of choice. People were cutting the sleeves off their

Jake Hoot — Season 17 champ of NBC’s The Voice — is teaming up with his former coach, Kelly Clarkson, for his new song “I Would’ve Loved You.” The rising star wrote the song alongside Lonestar keyboardist Dean Sams and Jamie Floyd. Hoot says he knew instantly that Clarkson’s powerhouse vocals would take his ballad’s emotional message to soaring new heights. “”I Would’ve Loved

Heartbreak and country songs… they go together like George Jones and not showing up for work. The perfect combination. A solemn guitar riff accompanied with slow, deep lyrics are the cornerstones to a textbook depressing country song. Unless of course you’re Mr. Luke Combs, who has shattered this traditional mold and made the country break up

Grab your partner and hit the dancefloor! Jake Hoot‘s “Something We Can Slow Dance To” is a traditional-sounding song just waiting for such an occasion. The song is premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. Written by Hoot with producer Danny Myrick and Olivia Rudeen, “Something We Can Slow Dance To” is the

What a guy that Darius Rucker is. I’m more of a Waffle House guy myself, more of a Cracker Barrel guy, more of a Bob Evans guy… IHOP is pretty much last on my list when it comes to reasonably priced breakfast chains, but hey, you gotta work with what you got, right? Although, when

Mason Lively is brokenhearted and, okay, maybe a little bitter in his new song “Love Ain’t Done a Damn Thing.” It’s exclusively premiering on The Boot; press play below to listen. Co-written with friend and fellow Texan Ben Danaher, “Love Ain’t Done a Damn Thing” relies on Lively’s plaintive voice to drive it. Its melody stays

First things first… Yellowstone is a badass show and Kevin Costner (AKA John Dutton) has GREAT taste in music as he recently shared a knockout country playlist loaded with incredible artists. (By the way, Costner also has an insane ranch in Colorado you can rent) Shockingly, some folks still don’t know Costner has his own

Hardy‘s ”Give Heaven Some Hell” serves as a stirring tribute from the musician to anyone who’s lost a loved one. “Give Heaven Some Hell” is the latest single culled from the singer-songwriter’s debut album, A Rock, which dropped in September via Big Loud Records. The song follows ”One Beer,” a No. 1 single — Hardy’s first as an

“Damn GURRRL.” Get rid of it. Back in 2019, the always gracious Carrie Underwood did an interview with The Guardian, but she didn’t hold back when it came to the current state of country radio, and more specifically, the lack of depth in the songwriting. “There’s a lot of songs that aren’t actually saying too
