Chase Elliott is here. We battled some audio issues at Nashville Superspeedway ahead of the Ally 400 this past weekend to discuss NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Elliott’s driving style and approach to racing, how his dad, the great Bill Elliott, influenced his love for racing, his favorite kind of country music, what it’s like

I don’t know, Miranda… kinda feels like asking for more trouble. Over the weekend, Miranda Lambert headlined a show at Momentum Bank Ballpark in Midland, Texas, and she had to play referee when she noticed a girl fight breaking out during “Tin Man,” which is typically (and supposed to be) a very stripped-back and powerful

Should I call him Sturgill Simpson or Johnny Blue Skies? I guess back when this interview took place in 2017, he was still universally known as Sturgill. Though around that time, there was somewhat of a teaser hidden inside the art of his 2016 album A Sailor’s Guide To Earth that read: “Beware the dreaded

Two young artists paying tribute to a legend. If you don’t know who Johnny Paycheck is, I feel sorry for you. I can’t begin to describe how much better your day-to-day and overall life would be if you cued up a little Paycheck periodically. Johnny, whose real name was Donald Eugene Lytle, was a huge

Kacey Musgraves joins Zach Bryan again on the Quittin’ Time Tour, but it’s a stadium this time. Last night, Zach Bryan burned down Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, with special guest the Turnpike Troubadours. While the lineup alone was stellar, in typical ZB fashion, he had to take advantage of being in Music City and pull

Getting Dolly Parton, Tanya Tucker, Kathy Mattea and Lorrie Morgan all in the same room for an interview must have been quite the feat back in the 1990’s. Somehow, the late, great Burt Reynolds was able to get the four female stars of country together for an interview on his short-lived TV show Burt Reynolds

This may be the biggest guest he’s had so far. Throughout the Quittin’ Time tour, Zach Bryan has surprised crowds during his final song, “Revival,” with everybody from Bruce Springsteen to Sexxy Red, along with names like comedian Shane Gillis, Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon and New York Giants QB Daniel Jones joining him on stage.

This will be one hell of a story for this kid one day. During Zach Bryan‘s show in Boston’s Gillette Stadium, the pit crowd had a special guest: a newborn baby. Of course, I am all for parents taking their kids to concerts at a young age, with the right protective ear gear. It not

Looking to inject some new juice to the game day experience after a relatively disappointing prior season, FCS football powerhouse North Dakota State teased what their pregame tunnel walks will look like in a video released on Friday. Well, to clarify, the video was temporarily released. For reasons unknown other than extreme blowback via cyber

Back on the road again. Today, Willie Nelson’s team put out a statement saying the country legend has been cleared to return to the stage, and will join the Outlaw Music Festival tour again next week. He missed the first run of shows that kicked off last weekend in Alpharetta, Georgia and Charlotte and Raleigh,

She’s on a roll. Today, Miranda Lambert released a new song called “Dammit Randy,” which is once again a strong single about reclaiming her power and stepping into independence in the wake of a breakup, though I think the core message could apply to many different situations and circumstances. The song was written by Miranda

You down for a little country music throwback? I sure hope so, because this blast from the past is a DOOZY. It seems like you’d be lucky to get two of these artists together in the 1990’s, let alone four of them. But somehow, through the power of Burt Reynold’s short-lived TV show Burt Reynolds’

I can’t WAIT to hear this one. Post Malone just shared a teaser of an unreleased song from his forthcoming country album F-1 Trillion, which features the great Chris Stapleton and already sounds like a big ol’ hit to me… and while it doesn’t seem like this will be a complete duets project, there will

Just killin’ time. If you ask me, Clint Black‘s 1989 song “Killin’ Time” is damn near the perfect country song. The twangy tear-in-your-beer heartbreaker was Clint’s debut single, his first #1 hit, and was named one of the 200 greatest country songs of all time by Rolling Stone. And it’s hard to believe that it’s already

Zach Bryan knows how to make a Great American Bar Scene, in all senses of the phrase. Nothing gets a bar going in America like FREE SHOTS, and the country star delivered just that to honor the upcoming release of highly anticipated project The Great American Bar Scene. The album’s release is set for July

The best dream ever… because it actually happened. On Sunday, Kacey Musgraves celebrated the nine-year anniversary of her iconic 2015 Pageant Material album, which is one of my all-time favorite records and never, ever got the credit it deserved. Seriously, it’s a masterpiece, and if you haven’t ever given it a good listen stop reading this right

Hitting the road. This morning, Post Malone announced his headlining 2024 fall F-1 Trillion tour, named for his forthcoming country album, which will kick off in September in Salt Lake City, Utah and run through October ending in Nashville, Tennessee. Of course, the superstar has sold out shows all over the world, but these will

“Country Roads” too hot for radio? Of course everybody knows the classic John Denver song “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” It’s one of the most well-known songs, not only in the United States but around the world. I grew up in West Virginia, and the song was basically on par with the national anthem. It’s

The show must go on. And it certainly did… This weekend, Willie Nelson was slated to take the stage as part of the opening weekend of the 2024 edition of his Outlaw Music Festival Tour in Alpharetta, Georgia and Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina along with Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and Celisse.

UNC fans, look away. Of course Morgan Wallen is a massive fan of the Tennessee Volunteers, so it makes sense that he would be in Omaha, Nebraska as his team takes on Texas A&M in the College World Series. But Eric Church is a well-known fan of the UNC…so the Tar Heels might be disappointed
