Merle Haggard evidently had a big part in getting Brooks and Dunn back together. Living country music legends Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks recently sat down for an episode of the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about their reunion, working with younger artists on their Reboot and Reboot II projects, how “Neon Moon” has

Garth getting emotional (per usual). An argument could be made for Garth Brooks being the biggest country music stars of all time. Though that might be up for debate, I can tell you one area that the “Friends in Low Places” singer has the all-time title locked down. No one gets the waterworks going more

Now that’s funny… Over the weekend, Darius Rucker caught some heat for his halftime performance (if that’s what you want to call it) of “Wagon Wheel” at the East Tennessee State University homecoming game against Western Carolina. This season, ETSU started a new tradition of playing “Wagon Wheel” at the end of the third quarter

To be honest with you, I’ve been out on singing competition shows for a while. But this new idea from the minds of Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan is intriguing, to say the least. Competitive singing competition have been a dime-a-dozen ever since the innovative American Idol aired in 2002. One could argue that the

On Veterans Day, and every day, we honor and remember those who served our nation. Country music has always had a special connection with veterans as many artists have written songs throughout their careers, tipping their caps to those who have laid down their lives for our freedom or to celebrate patriotism. From Toby Keith’s

Eh, same thing. It’s not surprising that everybody’s trying to distance themselves from Diddy these days. The disgraced rapper and producer (formerly known as Puff Daddy, and P. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs) was arrested back in September on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. And the allegations paint a disturbing picture of

Song of the year, in my humble opinion. Yesterday, Riley Green released the music video for his stunning song “Jesus Saves,” which was first released as part of his Way Out Here EP in April, and was later included on the tracklist for his third studio album Don’t Mind If I Do, which he put out

Singing another man’s song? The Boston Bruins took a not-so-subtle shot at Zach Bryan in their latest TikTok, posting a video of players and staff singing along to Morgan Wallen’s hit song “Last Night” – which Zach apparently doesn’t appreciate it. If you don’t know the backstory, or why that’s such an incredible troll move,

More Zach Bryan drama… This week, the BFF’s pod released their tell-all episode with Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry, who has been going through a very public breakup from country star Zach Bryan. With her co-hosts in Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy and personality Josh Richards, Brianna was very open about the truth of their

Two diss tracks in one year? Zach Bryan is on quite the run. Of course all the talk lately has been the “Smallest Man” diss track that was dropped by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, along with his BFFs podcast co-host Josh Richards. The two teamed up to support their friend and fellow podcast host

Eric Church knows a thing or two about crafting and performing a patriotic song. And anytime he does put pen to paper on a track honoring our great country, the Chief always has those who serve to protect our country in his heart. The country music star recently offered up a message through his label,

Full body chills. If you’ve ever seen Whiskey Myers live, you know how electric their shows are. From the flashing lights to the high-energy stage presence they bring, the East Texas band is full throttle from the moment they step on stage until the last note is sung. But like every good band, they know

We’re just a few days away from the highly-anticipated premiere of Yellowstone: Season 5 Part 2, the dramatic conclusion of the flagship Yellowstone series. Of course, the series has already sparked a number of spinoffs with more in the pipeline, but it will officially be the end of an era, as one of the most

Going head to head. Last night, Barstool Sports founder and CEO Dave Portnoy dropped a Zach Bryan diss track that set the internet on fire. Of course if you’re not familiar with the whole story that sentence would probably make you wonder what the hell is going on, so let’s back up for a minute.

What a way to kick off 2025. Each year, Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom throws a massive party for the brave souls who were not wiped out from New Year’s Eve, or maybe you were and you can rally, and make it back out. Today, the historic venue released its lineup, and it is kicking off 2015

The Zach Bryan-Brianna Chickenfry breakup heard round the country music world has escalated to a whole other level. Bryan is a man who needs almost no introduction, except to establish that much of his most popular music comes as a consequence of not being so good in romantic relationships. Sorry Zach, it’s true! I mean

A country music endorsement for Kamala Harris on the night before Election Day. Of course, it’s expected to be a tight race today between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and we’ll (hopefully) know who the next President of the United States is going to be sometime late tonight. Both candidates held

Tragic. According to KVUE out of Austin, Texas, a mural that features country music icon Willie Nelson, as well as fellow Texas native Janis Joplin, is under threat of being demolished to make room for more development. It’s a sad reality of growth in the very popular city, which was the heart of the country

It’s definitely… different. Over the weekend, pop sensation Chappell Roan was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and if her name sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve at least heard part of her song “HOT TO GO!” or “Pink Pony Club.” She’s having a huge moment right now, and her career is exploding, and

Every so often, someone comes around in the country music world and completely flips it on its head. Billy Strings has done that in the last handful of years, beginning in 2017 with his debut solo album, Turmoil & Tinfoil. Flashforward a handful of years, Strings has become the face of the modern day bluegrass
