Paintin’ the town blue. Ella Langley released her first single since putting out her solid debut EP Excuse The Mess in September, a song called “Paint the Town Blue,” which was co-written by Ella along with Will Bundy, Rhett Akins and Travis Wood. A play on words with the old saying “paint the town red,” Ella

LOTS of new music from Wyatt Flores is coming very soon. Speaking with Whiskey Riff at Rebels & Renegades Music Festival this past weekend, the Oklahoma native let us know that he has a small, seven-song EP of sorts that’s dropping on November 17th: “I am finally releasing more music, a small project of about

It has been just over 6 years since the great Tom Petty passed away on October 2, 2017, just 18 days before what would have been his 68th birthday. Last night, right in the middle of the 18 day stretch between Petty’s passing and his birthday, a star-studded cast of talented musicians descended upon Brooklyn

Looks like he finally found the cure for his achy breaky heart. (I’m so sorry, I couldn’t resist). Billy Ray Cyrus took to Instagram today to reveal that he got married yesterday to his fiancée, Australian singer Firerose. “10/10/23 will always be the beautiful, joyous day that our two souls united as one in holy

Country music singer Luke Bryan knows that you can’t forget about a parent’s birthday, no matter how famous you get, and also knows that his mother LeClaire can take a joke. If you didn’t know, Bryan’s mother LeClaire has garnered quite the social media following, and is a great follow on Instagram and TikTok. Known

Since the release of Son Of Dad, I have had the full project on repeat. However, one song off the impressive debut album from Stephen Wilson Jr., that was an early favorite of mine and has continued to grow into a tried and true song for me, is “Grief Is Only Love.” While the album highlights

Yikes… Honestly, the idea of Shania Twain, the queen of country pop, and one of the greatest rock bands of the modern era, Foo Fighters, getting together on a song sounds pretty damn awesome. Both broke out in 1995 with Foo Fighters releasing their debut, self-titled album that year, and Shaina Twain releasing her first

Country music is well-known for its wild characters and crazy stories. Like Hank William’s infamous arrest photo, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings spending over $1,000 a day on drugs and alcohol, and Merle Haggard spending 5 days on a boat naked with an unnamed female country star and $2 grand worth of cocaine, plus who

Man, it would have been awesome if Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash had worked together more often throughout their careers. While Dolly has long been the heartthrob for country music fans across the globe, she made waves a while back during an interview with The Big Issue where she shared that her first crush was

Country music is universal, and is so relatable that it can sneak into any part of life. After Georgia’s blowout win over Kentucky yesterday, head Coach Kirby Smart was speaking to the media when an interesting question came up. Smart had used an analogy with “wrecking ball” in it earlier in the conversation, and one

Adding another reason to the list of why we love Jelly Roll. I mean, let’s face the facts here, folks: Jelly Roll just made a core memory for this fan. The country artist is known for having a teddy bear-like personality, despite his tattooed-covered stature that might have your boomer mom a little uneasy. But time

Big things from Blackberry Smoke. Today, the famed southern rock group released the second single from their upcoming album, a new song titled “Little Bit Crazy.” The harmony-filled track tells the tale of a gal that could send a man falling in love into a spiral if it doesn’t work out. Charlie Starr, lead man

What’s the best song Chris Stapleton has ever written? It’s a pretty exhausting list, isn’t it? Whether you like fun country songs like the Kenny Chesney hit “Never Wanted Nothing More,” emotional songs like “Maggie’s Song,” or “Daddy Doesn’t Pray Anymore,” heartbreakers like the Josh Turner hit “Another Try,” or powerful, thoughtful ones like “Fire

I can’t wait to hear these new love songs. Lainey Wilson has had what many would call a breakout last year or two (that even feels like an understatement), though she was in Nashville for right around a decade grinding and busting her ass to get to this moment. Suffice all that to say, she’s more than

What is the hardest lyric in all of country music? There might be a few out there that vie for the top spot, but I think it’s pretty difficult to find a harder line than this one from Johnny Cash’s classic “Folsom Prison Blues,” one of the greatest country songs of all time. “When I

I love it when a song I love does so well. Koe Wetzel’s fan-favorite single “Ragweed” has officially been certified Gold by the RIAA, meaning it has moved over 500,000 units since it was released a few years ago: The song was included on Koe’s 2019 Harold Saul High album as a cool tribute to the

Jimmy Butler is a BIG country music guy. The superstar for the Miami Heat has said in the past that he used to listen to country music to annoy his teammates…but then he actually got into it. And now, Jimmy Buckets is an outspoken country music fan. Earlier this year, Butler had Morgan Wallen and Luke

Jelly Roll continues to have an absolutely incredible year. His most recent country album Whitsitt Chapel was released back in June, and the hype leading up to it paid off. Country music fans loved the project, and praised the authenticity of both the album and the artist behind it. Since its release, Jelly has been

Over the past few years, the notion of “cancel culture” has become a hot button issue. Winston Marshall, former member of the folk group Mumford & Sons, knows the feeling of cancel culture firsthand, as he’s experienced it himself. Marshall left the band in 2021 after he tweeted support for conservative author Andy Ngo’s book,
