THIS is what we need. Start diggin’ into those archives and let’s get some concerts going. With concerts coming at a premium these days (mostly in Texas), and the live acoustic shows from artists’ living rooms going a bit stale now that we’re nearly a year into this thing, I think Luke is on to

Fretland‘s new song “Too Much” is full of insecurities laid bare. The band is premiering the brand-new track exclusively with The Boot; press play below to listen. “I am uncertain sometimes if I’m ahead or I am behind / If I’m a fool or I’m too wise for my own good,” begins “Too Good.” The song
She’s doin’ it. It’s no secret that Taylor is setting out to rerecord her first six albums in an attempt to regain control of her masters, but after she released two albums this past year, Folklore and Evermore, her fans got to wondering… when?

Morgan speaks. It’s been roughly a week since video surfaced of Morgan Wallen dropping the n-word outside of his house in the middle of the night.

The protagonist of Restless Road’s
You can’t tease us like that, Clint. The great Travis Tritt celebrated his 58th birthday recently, and the well-wishes were pouring in on Twitter all day. But this one from Clint Black definitely caught my attention. Wishing a Happy Birthday to my buddy, @Travistritt! We’ve had a lot of laughs and even wrote a cool
Jameson Rodgers and Luke Combs know how to let the good times roll. The country singers deliver the party right to your backyard in their fun new video for their new collaboration, “Cold Beer Calling My Name.” The clip premiered via YouTube on Tuesday night (Feb. 9), starring the two country singers as beer truck
Driving the ol’ beer truck. For the new “Cold Beer Calling My Name” music video, Jameson Rodgers teamed up with Luke Combs (and apparently the good people are Miller Lite) to make sure these cold cans get delivered on time. A modern day Smokey & the Bandit… you know, without Bandit, the Trans-Am, the cops…
After a snippet of the song was featured in a Super Bowl ad for the upcoming CBS series Clarice, Brandi Carlile has released the full version of her “Take Me Home, Country Roads” cover.

Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan delivered a pretty killer take on the national anthem during the Super Bowl this past weekend.

Brooke Eden has weathered her fair share of storms, but these days, it’s nothing but blue skies ahead.

Sheesh, 1994 was special y’all. But first… Chief and Jazmine should’ve also done the halftime show. Fuck it.#SuperBowl — Whiskey Riff (@WhiskeyRiff) February 8, 2021 I mean, right? They crushed the Anthem. Now if you go on Twitter, many folks weren’t crazy about The Weeknd’s performance, saying it made them dizzy among other things. So,
What a night for Parker McCollum. Arguably the most-promising young star in the mainstream right now, Parker stepped into that iconic Opry circle last night for the very first time. Mom and dad were in the crowd, some other family members, and even Koe Wetzel was somewhere around there. My man @ParkerMcCollum just killed his
Eric Church‘s “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones” turns country music’s story-song tradition on its head. The country star dropped the new, Casey Beathard-penned track on Friday (Feb. 5). Much like Johnny Cash’s boy named Sue, Church’s protagonist is a young man from Gadsden, Ala., with a unique name (“spelled with all four Ys,” the lyrics quickly point
Since the Morgan Wallen news first broke this past Tuesday, everybody and their mother has weighed in with their opinions on the matter, and most recently, we heard from someone very close to Morgan… his sister. Sharing the post to Instagram, Morgan’s sister Ashlyne condemned his behavior, but like Jimmie Allen, called for forgiveness and
