Dale Watson‘s forthcoming new album, The Memphians, is unlike anything he’s done before. The all-instrumental record takes its cues from its title city, Memphis, Tenn., with the Ameripolitan singer-songwriter finding his inspiration in the southern city’s culture and history, and in the guitar greats of decades past. In particular, the song “Deep Eddy” — premiering exclusively

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a thousand times… if you’re still sleeping on Gabe Lee, wake your ass up. His 2020 album, Honkey Tonk Hell, found its way onto our 2020 Albums Of The Year list, but today, we’re taking it back to the beginning. Gabe made a ton of noise in the

Kalie Shorr‘s latest release, “Amy” — a vindictive, hard-rocking missive aimed at an old friend who became an ex’s new love interest — officially arrived on Friday (Feb. 19), after an acoustic snippet of the song went viral on TikTok. Among the 2 million people who saw Shorr’s “Amy” video was Butch Walker, a legendary singer-songwriter and

The six-time Grammy nominee is known for her tear-jerking, melancholy pop music, and is gearing up to release her seventh studio album, Chemtrails Over The Country Club, on March 19th. But on top of that, she has also

Drink like a King. In my opinion (and everybody else’s), King George reigns supreme when it comes to country music, but he ain’t no slouch in the tequila department either. In fact, I’ll be the first in line to go ahead and call him the tequila king as well because his Código 1530 Tequila is

Kenny Chesney‘s “Knowing You” is a reflection on those he’s met along the way. Readers can press play above to hear the reminiscent new single. A simple acoustic guitar line and a bit of pedal steel back Chesney throughout “Knowing You” as he reminisces about a certain someone throughout the verses. He’s nostalgic, but without

Morgan Wallen has officially become the first artist since Drake to top the Billboard 200 albums chart for six weeks.

And as it turns out, Tyler has actually seen it himself. “This first parody “Inside Out” (‘Universal Sound”) was performed at a comedy show in

If you’re familiar with the country music TikTok scene, it leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of dancing, terrible lip synching, and don’t even get me started on the Nashville “Hype House,” but every so often, you come across somebody that catches your attention. Enter Warren Zeiders. As of right now, his various covers

Hard to believe almost a full year has passed since we lost the great Kenny Rogers. Following that terrible news, the internet unearthed a gem from back in 1988 involving Kenny and none other than Michael Jordan. Back in the day, Rogers put on the Kenny Rogers Classic Weekend in Georgia which featured a pickup

Dillon Carmichael is bringing the heat (and the wood) these days. Fresh off the release of his new single, the Jon Pardi-produced “Hot Beer,” the latest great thing out of Kentucky is once again bringing that killer voice and some tongue-in-cheek lyrics to his new release. “Sawin’ Logs” quickly went viral after Dillon gave fans

Loretta Lynn‘s new rendition “One’s on the Way,” featuring Margo Price, proves that, 50 years after its original release, the classic country song remains as relevant as ever. That Lynn’s original lyrics detailing the mundane, yet hectic, life of a pregnant mother in Topeka, Kan., sound as though they were written recently all the more proves her point.

Is there a more underrated guy in mainstream country than Justin Moore? Justin has nine #1 hits over a career that spans 13 years since the release of his first album. In the country music world, that’s some pretty good longevity – especially when he’s still cranking out heaters this far into his career. I

Singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah earned a 2020 Grammy Awards Best American Roots Song nomination for her song “Black Myself,” as originally recorded by Our Native Daughters, a quartet also featuring Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla and Allison Russell.

FINALLY. The wait is over. Ashley Monroe announced she has a new album due out April 30th called Rosegold, and she just released the first single, “Drive.” It’s psychedelic, sexy and pretty pop sounding, compared to what we’re used to seeing from Ashley. It remains to be seen if she might be changing up her

Welp, it’s gonna be a no from Dolly. Last month, Tennessee State Rep John Mark Windle introduced a bill to bring a statue of Dolly Parton to the the state Capitol Building in downtown Nashville.

A while back, Zach shared photos in the studio with Dave, one of the best producers in the word.

The wedding song trifecta. Luke Combs has spent the better part of the past two years melting hearts across the country radio airwaves. And with his next single, he’ll be looking to do it again. A newlywed himself, he’s released “Beautiful Crazy” back in 2018 and it stayed atop the charts for multiple weeks. The
