Get famous, get a liquor… that’s pretty much the recipe these days… Just about everybody in country music with a chunk of change has their own alcohol brand. Some are pretty damn good, like George Strait’s Código 1530 tequila, and others are not so good… like Florida Georgia Line’s blended peach pecan whiskey. (We drank

Just what the doctor ordered. Zach Bryan, the the young songwriter extraordinaire himself, is officially starting a podcast. Titled “Don’t Be Naïve,” it’s an ode to his song “Flying or Crying.” Zach has always been, by choice, quite an enigmatic artist so this opening of the doors to share his life and thoughts outside of

Dierks Bentley has done a lot of experimenting throughout the course of his career. Whether he was dabbling in bluegrass on his beloved 2010 album, Up On the Ridge or leaning towards a pop-country sound on his 2016 album Black (probably not for the best), Dierks has put together an impressive, yet versatile, career in

Robyn Ottolini brings some serious 2014-Sam Hunt swagger to her heartache during “F-150.” Rare is the song that’s as well written as it is produced, but the Canadian singer’s debut is a true double threat. If she can rock a stage, then get the heck out of her way and let her blow up biggy-big.

After the brutal year the country music community endured in 2020, it appears as though 2021 is picking up right where we left off. Famous country music singer/songwriter Ed Bruce passed away last night at the age of 81 due to natural causes in Clarksville, Tennessee. Bruce was a highly touted songwriter in the 1970s

Miranda Lambert gets a little groovy with Barry Gibb and Rival Sons member Jay Buchanan on a new version of “Jive Talkin’,” a 1970s hit from Gibb’s band the Bee Gees. Lambert leads a number of lines in the collaboration, though she also offers harmonies throughout the track. Her voice is instantly recognizable and lends a new

Strange times we’re living in… We all are well aware of the absolute shitstorm that 2020 was, and now that we’re just a few days into the new year, it doesn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon. But in the face of the storm, at minimum, we can look to country music for a

Barry Gibb and Keith Urban meet on a cinematic rendition of the Bee Gees’ hit “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You.” The song is one of a dozen new collaborations between the sole living Gibb brother and country, Americana and bluegrass artists. Urban’s voice is the first to greet listeners in this new version

Ok, let me just say this… Kelly Clarkson can sing her ASS off. We’ve seen her cover everything from Travis Tritt and Deana Carter, to Johnny Cash, Chris Stapleton and she even started tearing up singing with Garth Brooks on her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Recently, she had a go at Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow”

Florida Georgia Line surprised fans with the release of a new song from their upcoming album early Friday morning (Jan. 8).

The track features the same kind of light, fun energy that characterized

Any of you kids remember 867-5309/Jenny? No? Didn’t think so… Anyways, it was a popular song from 1981 by one-hit wonder Tommy Tutone, and when it blew up, people dialed the shit out of that phone number. Thousands and thousands of calls, no matter what area code you hade. It was nightmare and people all

Chris Stapleton lends heartbroken harmonies — and then some — to Morgan Wallen‘s new song “Only Thing That’s Gone.” The brand-new song, from Wallen’s new double album, Dangerous, has a modern edge, but with plenty of traditional tinge to place it in Stapleton’s wheelhouse, too. Wallen co-wrote “Only Thing That’s Gone” with Matt Dragstrem, Chase McGill and Josh Thompson.

MR. ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR. Eric Church is the king of live performances. This dead horse is well beaten at this point, but to add one more lash, let’s revisit the 30-minute, 17 song acoustic medley he performed at the CMA Fest 2019. Just him and a guitar. No fuss, no frills, no special effects.

Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb is set to release his collection of reimagined classics done in tandem with country and bluegrass artists, Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1, on Friday (Jan. 8), and he’s given fans a preview of one of the more iconic duets on the set. “Words,” a 1968 single for the Bee
