Blake’s new single is here. Debuted on New Year’s Eve, Blake found himself in hot water with the Twitter outrage mob over the content of the lyrics, mostly the glorification of minimum wage. Especially during a pandemic… Granted country music has always told stories of the common man, and even Ronnie Dunn came to Blake’s

Florida Georgia Line‘s “Life Rolls On” is a peppy, feel-good reminder of the circle of life. The country duo shared the new song, the title track of their fifth studio album, on Friday (Jan. 15). “As long as my heart’s beatin’ and these old lungs keep breathin’ / The highs and the lows, yes and

Country, rock and roll, little bit blues… ain’t nothin’ Whiskey Myers can’t do. And if you’ve ever been to a live show, you’re know they’re one of the best in the business. A while back (you know, back when concerts were a thing), they covered “All I Can Do Is Write About It,” by the

Oklahoma-bred singer-songwriter Parker Millsap has announced his next album: Be Here Instead is due out on April 9, just under three years after the artist’s most recent release. Produced by John Agnello, Be Here Instead is Millsap’s fifth career album and was recorded live with his full band. The record finds him exploring an expanded palette of sounds and instruments, and moving

President Trump has about a week until he leaves office, and he’s gonna spend it handing out medals to a couple of country music singers. And the winners? Toby Keith and Ricky Skaggs. Trump is currently in the Oval Office awarding the National Medal of Arts to singers Toby Keith and Ricky Skaggs, minutes after

Ross Cooper is putting his faith in the universe and trying to put his worries out of his mind in his new song “Freewheelin’ Feelin’.” It’s premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. “I haven’t got it all figured out yet, and I know I’m not alone in that. And that’s totally fine,” Cooper

Miranda does not miss. “Bluebird” notched Miranda her first #1 single in 6 years (8 on Billboard). Yes, you heard that correctly, Miranda Lambert, the most decorated artist in the history of the ACMs, and the CMA’s most nominated female artist of all time, hasn’t had a number one single in 8 years on the

Maren Morris and Canadian singer-songwriter JP Saxe sing a songwriter’s love song in “Line By Line,” their new duet, released on Wednesday (Jan. 13). The two co-wrote the song with Jimmy Robbins. In “Line By Line,” Morris and Saxe admit, “There are things that I sing that I’ll never have the confidence to say” — for example,

Here’s a nice little did-you-know about the Entertainer of the Year, Eric Church. He’s written a ton of great songs that may never see the light of day (for an album of his), however, some of those have landed on projects from other artists over the years. I bet you didn’t know Zac Brown has

Takin’ it back to 1987. 34 years ago today, George Strait released Ocean Front Property, his 7th-career studio album featuring hits like “All My Ex’s Live In Texas,” “Am I Blue,” and of course, the title track “Ocean Front Property.” The album would mark its place in the country music record books as the first

Many a country song has served up a much-needed reminder that a new and better day is coming. From Kacey Musgraves‘ “Rainbow” to Maren Morris‘ “Girl” to Thomas Rhett’s “Be a Light,” songs have a way of boosting their listeners emotionally, just when we need it the most. And now, country legend Johnny Lee has given

A new spin on an old classic. Written by written by Roger Murrah and Mark Alan Springer, “Where Corn Don’t Grow” was originally released by Waylon Jennings on his 1990 album, The Eagle. According to Springer, Steve Wariner and Joe Diffie also recorded great versions of it (not released), but when Travis Tritt got a

Noah Schnacky isn’t the type of guy to kiss and tell. The 23-year-old with the movie star looks and massive social media following shares a lot, but he doesn’t share much about his romantic life. But there is one thing the rising country artist knows for sure: He has known love. Of course, love comes

Get famous, get a liquor… that’s pretty much the recipe these days… Just about everybody in country music with a chunk of change has their own alcohol brand. Some are pretty damn good, like George Strait’s Código 1530 tequila, and others are not so good… like Florida Georgia Line’s blended peach pecan whiskey. (We drank

Barry Gibb stays in the cinematic lane with Brandi Carlile on a reimagination of the Bee Gees classic “Run to Me.” The two trade dreamy vocals on the romantic song, re-recorded for Gibb’s new country collaborations album, Greenfields. Carlile and Gibb’s “Run to Me” is drizzled with beautiful harmonies. The twosome honor the original version of

If you were at the Josh Abbott Band show at the legendary Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas last night you were in for a real treat. Not only were you able to see a great Texas country act in that of Josh Abbot Band, but you were treated to an appearance from the legend

Just what the doctor ordered. Zach Bryan, the the young songwriter extraordinaire himself, is officially starting a podcast. Titled “Don’t Be Naïve,” it’s an ode to his song “Flying or Crying.” Zach has always been, by choice, quite an enigmatic artist so this opening of the doors to share his life and thoughts outside of

Dierks Bentley has done a lot of experimenting throughout the course of his career. Whether he was dabbling in bluegrass on his beloved 2010 album, Up On the Ridge or leaning towards a pop-country sound on his 2016 album Black (probably not for the best), Dierks has put together an impressive, yet versatile, career in

Robyn Ottolini brings some serious 2014-Sam Hunt swagger to her heartache during “F-150.” Rare is the song that’s as well written as it is produced, but the Canadian singer’s debut is a true double threat. If she can rock a stage, then get the heck out of her way and let her blow up biggy-big.
