This has always kind of bugged me… How in the hell were songs like “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,”  “Swing,” and “Ladies Love Country Boys” written by Jamey Johnson and Chris Stapleton? Back in 2005, Adkins released a powerful song called “Arlington,” a beautiful tribute dedicated to fallen our soldiers. But then… he followed it up with

Flatland Cavalry has grown popular enough that a casual fan of non-mainstream country music has probably come across their music a time or two. There’s a chance they may have even heard of the new Texas supergroup The Panhandlers, or at least heard of members Josh Abbott or William Clark Green. Unfortunately, though, not enough

Taylor Swift is taking country radio for a moody, villainous ride with the mid-tempo “No Body No Crime,” a collaboration with pop outfit Haim off her most recent album, Evermore. Flecked with twangs of mandolin and a story-song written as well as any out of the annals of country music legacy, “No Body No Crime” is a

Man, what a live show. Ask anybody who was there (or happened to stream the replay concert) and they’ll tell you that Cody Jinks’ Red Rocks show was one of the best concerts they’ve ever been to. An artist as good as Cody, in a sold out setting like that… how can it not be

Oh, here we go… If you had Rascal Flatts frontman Gary “The Voice” LeVox being a conspiracy theorist on your 2020 bingo card, then step right up and claim your prize. Whenever something terrible happens, and even when something great happens (hello Moon Landing), there’s an inevitable group of people that somehow seem to have

Russell Dickerson tells an intimate, true-to-life story with “Home Sweet,” his euphorically uptempo new ode to his love story with his wife. Just as he sings in the lyrics of the song, Dickerson and his wife of seven years, Kailey, didn’t have much money between them when they first got married. He describes the song

Randy Montana is the real deal. A veteran in the industry, over the past decade he’s Randy has secured more than his fair share of album cuts from impressively big names in country music. From George Strait to Jon Pardi, Luke Combs to Justin Moore, Randy has written hits for everybody. But this year, his

Ironically the son of a Canadian politician, Colter Wall is as rugged and real as it gets. Hailing from Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Wall is a Canadian cowboy with a knack for telling stories. A talented lyricist, Wall’s captivating stories of the Western Frontier can make one think he really lived on the Western plains over

Singin’ the blues. Written by Roy Hawkins and Rick Darnell in 1951, “The Thrill Is Gone” became a huge hit for blues legend B.B. King in 1970. Quite a few years back, the great Chris Stapleton (who knows his way around the blues more than most) delivered an acoustic cover at Station Inn in Nashville.

As the search continues for the psychopath who set off a bomb in Nashville, residents are coming together to express their emotions and prayers for the horrific event that unfolded yesterday morning Several country stars took to social media yesterday in response to the bombing, as well as professional sports organizations such as the Tennessee

It’s almost that time. We are just a day out from Santa dropping by to bring some presents to all the good little boys and girls around the world, and while that’s all well and good, there are a few things that Santa can’t bring us this year. Things that only country music can offer.

When thinking of Country Christmas songs, so many jump to Willie Nelson’s “Frosty The Snowman,” Faith Hill’s “Where Are You Christmas,” etc… And those well-known songs are great tunes, but sometimes it’s fun to find the unexpected covers that end up really blowing you away. Well, I found the perfect example of that with Jamey

Nobody does Christmas tunes quite like Brett Eldredge. If you want a honky tonk Christmas, sure, you gotta turn on that Alan Jackson, that George Strait, but if you’re more in the mood for a  signature Christmas classic with a touch of that patented Frank Sinatra flavor, look no further than Brett Eldredge’s Glow record. Is

With 2020 coming to a close, we are ending the year much differently than anyone could have ever anticipated. Christmas time is usually filled with many traditions and celebrations, but thanks to the global pandemic and gathering restrictions, a lot of us are sacrificing our fun for the health and safety of our loved ones.

The Chicks have given an internet thumbs up to Taylor Swift‘s “No Body, No Crime,” an enthralling murder-mystery number that finds its place among the tracklist of Swift’s most recent album, Evermore. Swift surprise-released the new set, a spiritual sequel to this summer’s Folklore, on Friday (Dec. 11). As pointed out by Uproxx, the song,

This past Sunday, Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood treated country fans to a live Christmas special dubbed, Garth & Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event. And it wouldn’t be a Christmas special, (or any public appearance from Garth) without a few tears. Three certainties in life: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Garth crying

Andrew Jannakos released his first official music video on Friday (Dec. 11), and the TikTok star-turned-Sony Nashville signee is giving The Boot’s readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new clip.

Tyler Childers is one of those artists that just about every music fan likes, even if they primarily dabble in mainstream country, and even if they’re are not particularly fans of country music at all. Hailing from the coal country of Kentucky, Childers’ years of hard work and heavy touring have culminated in the lyrical
