Dale Watson‘s forthcoming new album, The Memphians, is unlike anything he’s done before.

In particular, the song “Deep Eddy” — premiering exclusively

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
