12 years ago, and belting out songs like he knew he was gonna be a superstar… Tyler Childers never disappoints. Throwback to 2011 when a clean-cut and baby-faced Tyler Childers let “Shake The Frost” rip at the Huntington Music & Arts Festival. Tyler takes the stage in a suit and bowtie, which is very different

Greensky Bluegrass‘ “Congratulations & Condolences” examines the complexities of life with raw, unfettered honesty. The track serves as a b-side from their most recent record, Stress Dreams. Co-written by Greensky Bluegrass’ frontman/mandolin player Paul Hoffman and Joshua Davis (known for Steppin’ In It and Shout Sister Shout), the mid-tempo ditty draws its inspiration from real-life. Davis

Parker McCollum played it “Strait” (thanks, I’ll be here all week) when he was asked how a recent golf outing with a country music legend went down. Though the round of golf with George Strait might not have gone well, McCollum has otherwise had a very successful year. The up-and-coming country music star had a

I was not expecting this to be the setlist’s opening track, but I am here for it. Tyler Childers closed the year with two sold-out nights at Lexington, Kentucky’s historic Rupp Arena. While I envy those who were able to be at the show, I am thankful for the concertgoers who uploaded video footage so

It ain’t a Waffle House, it’s a Waffle Home… Waffle House is a wonderful little establishment that one must experience first-hand to really understand. On its face, it just looks like any ol’ sh*thole diner that serves up waffles and hashbrowns to highly intoxicated, and dare I say belligerent, crowds of people at two in

A QUEEN. Lainey Wilson made one of the greatest New Year’s resolutions I’ve ever heard for 2023, declaring on X (Twitter) on January 1st of last year that her goal was to: “Maintain my big ass so more people can kiss it.” “This year’s resolution is going to be to maintain my big ass so

Kicking off the New Year as the #1 trending topic on Twitter is always nice… well, not always. New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash is underway tonight in Music City, ringing in the New Year with performances from Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, Cody Johnson, Megan Moroney, Brothers Osborne, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, Blake Shelton, and more. But

A timeless spin on an old classic. Kacey Musgraves released her A Very Kacey Christmas album in 2016, which is one of my personal favorite Christmas albums and the perfect thing to spin before we turn the page to a new year. The original Christmas songs are great, but one song in particular, her rendition of

It doesn’t get more iconic than the world’s largest honky tonk. Since the early ’80s, the iconic country music venue in Fort Worth, Texas, the great Billy Bob’s, has brought in legends like George Jones, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, and continues to be a part of country music history with some really cool moments

And with that, the 2023 season comes to an end. We’re just days away from turning the page on another year. A year that’s brought us some incredible country music, some breakout stars, and plenty of drama along the way. So before 2024 gets here, we figured we’d take a few minutes to look back

Kaitlin Butts is gifting us with a positive message to close out the last New Music Friday of 2023. Butts laid down a flawless cover of The Secret Sisters’ “Tomorrow Will Be Kinder,” spreading the message that you need to be kinder to yourself. Butts, who often sings about making men cry, toxic family situations,

Whether you agree with his politics or not, the former president has good taste in country music. Barack Obama just released his 2023 list of his favorite songs of the year. And while there are quite a few from other genres that I don’t recognize (I’m pretty sure he just made “6LACK” up), there are

It’s time to get comfortable if you were lucky enough to come across this post today, because this is one of the greatest stories I think I’ve ever heard in my life. Luke Combs sat down with the boys of the Full Send Podcast last year, and the fellas talked everything from his rise in country

A deep dive into the life and legacy of Luke Bell. The country singer tragically passed away in August of 2022 at the age of 32 due to a fentanyl overdose, and left a gaping hole in country music that was filled with his promise of unique, poetic and honest lyrics and songs. While he passed

Talk about a stone cold country classic. One of my all-time favorite Willie Nelson songs is his classic country heartbreaker “Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning.” Written by Gary Nunn and Donna Farar, it was released as the third single from Willie’s iconic 1982 album, Always On My Mind, and eventually peaked at #2 on the

I mean, I don’t think there’s many times you can say Dale Earnhardt Sr. missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this might just be the only example. Back in the in the 80’s, Willie Nelson and Dale joined car owner Richard Childress (who Dale Sr. drove for) to participate in an advertising campaign promoting

I live for these behind-the-scenes videos from Ashley McBryde. Not only because they are entertaining to watch, but they highlight even further how she is the definition of a badass on and off the stage. From her “Made For This” YouTube series to little clips like this she puts on her social media, McBryde is

THAT’S how you cover a song… When the pandemic hit in 2020, Billy Strings announced a series of virtual concerts, and rather than just picking from his living room like a lot of artists did, Billy threw some high-production concerts at well-known venues. During this particular show, live from the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Billy
