Kip Moore‘s new song “Good Life” comes with more grit than fans are used to, and that’s saying something. Hard-earned stories and raw arrangements are nothing new for the “She’s Mine” singer. With Jay Joyce on board as producer (and with Dan Couch as Moore’s co-writer), however, Moore’s country-rock becomes country-grunge. ”Good Life” presents a soulful, distorted sound that

I don’t know if you’ve ever caught a redfish, but I’m willing to bet that this redfish that Walker Montgomery recently caught was probably bigger than yours. Montgomery is back on the road again, recently joining up with Travis Denning for a series of concerts down in Georgia, and more on the way. While Denning

Brett Young backs away from his personal narrative to offer “Not Yet,” his new radio single from an upcoming album. Sure, this is a love song, and he credits an experience shared with wife Taylor for his parts of the lyrics, but their romance doesn’t saturate the song. The singer’s last single, “Lady,” “Catch” —

The Steel Woods are gearing up to release their third studio album, All Of Your Stones, and they have us all on the edge of our seat, as they’ve released their third track from the album today. After releasing the title track “All Of Your Stones” and “Run on Ahead,” song number three is titled

Alan Jackson puts his heart on the screen in his just-released ”You’ll Always Be My Baby” lyric video. The song is for his daughters, Mattie, Alexandra and Dani Grace, and this video makes them the stars. It’s a walk down memory lane — Jackson sings as snapshots of his three girls through the years roll across

Miller, The Steel Woods, Reba, and more. Turn it up, tell

Reba McEntire‘s “Somehow You Do” is a reminder that we’re far stronger than we know. The song comes from the soundtrack for a new movie starring Glenn Close and Mila Kunis. Written by Diane Warren — who also wrote McEntire’s songs “I’ll Be” and “What If” — and produced by Tony Brown, “Somehow You Do”

Let me tell y’all something… Eric Church did NOT name this album Soul for nothing. I’ve had Heart on repeat for the last week, and now, the third installment of the long-awaited triple album is finally here. Of course, we’ve been loving tracks from the first release like “Russian Roulette” and “Bunch Of Nothing” (which

Easy Eye Sound Yola will release her sophomore album this summer. Stand for Myself reunites the British singer-songwriter with Black Keys member and producer Dan Auerbach and his Easy Eye Sound label. A press release teases that Stand for Myself will find Yola making “a sonic shift” from her debut album, 2019’s Walk Through Fire. Indeed, the first

Dammit Jamey Johnson, the list of what we wouldn’t do for a new album is shorter than what we would do… In a catalogue of pretty much nothing but great songs, it’s easy for a few to be overshadowed, even though they check all the boxes of a hit. I present to you, “Mowin’ Down

Charlie Worsham sings a story plenty of musicians will relate to in his new song “Fist Through This Town.” The new track harnesses the frustrations that come with working in music, and an accompanying music video offers a look at Worsham’s own career trajectory. Worsham co-wrote “Fist Through This Town” with Jeremy Spillman and Travis Meadows.

Seems like Ol’ Wheeler’s pushing back against cancel culture. The last time we heard from Wheeler Walker, Jr. he was releasing his own “apology” video, a parody of the apology that Morgan Wallen issued after his racial slur incident. [embedded content] Well now he’s back with his response to the #CancelWheeler movement. Now you may

If the world hadn’t stopped, JP Harris might not have a new album to share. He might not have had enough trust in himself to return to the place where he found solace in the music of old. He might not have rolled the dice of his career in order for the chance to follow

Caylee Hammack is bringing out the big guns on the new version of her song “Small Town Hypocrite”. And by big guns, I mean Chris Stapleton. I already liked the song before, but throw a little Chris on the background vocals, and I’m kind of obsessed with it at the moment. Everything he touches seemingly

Jenny Tolman enlisted country great Jeannie Seely for “Who’ll Be Your Fool” a sweetly retro new song from the deluxe edition of her debut album, There Goes the Neighborhood. The doo-wop-y waltz is just the thing to play out of the jukebox in the malt shop of Jennyville — the fictional town in which Tolman’s songs

As if have your truck stolen isn’t bad enough. But to have it stolen with your dog inside? I’d be ready to go to war if somebody stole my dog. Well that’s what happened to Shane Smith of Shane Smith & The Saints, who had posted on social media earlier today that he was offering
