Waylon and Willie stories are my favorite. And in a fantastic 1988 interview with SPIN, Waylon let the world in on one of his very favorite stories from their decades-long friendship. He recalls a day in the mid-’70s, at the height of their popularity and in the thick of the country outlaw movement they both pioneered, when Willie

Everybody knows that George Jones is a country music legend. He’s one of the greatest country artists of all time – and depending on who you ask, THE greatest voice in the history of the genre. I know for me, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” will probably always be the greatest country song of all

I’m just going to go ahead and say it… Christmas music kind of sucks. Sorry… You can only hear “Jingle Bells” so many times before you feel like getting run over by a one-horse open sleigh and when it comes to these original country Christmas songs, it’s slim pickings. And these days, we have clap-track,

What an all-time great Merle Haggard song. Of course, “If We Make It Through December” was initially intended as a “Christmas song,” when he included it as the lead single for his 1973 album Merle Haggard’s Christmas Present, but it later became the the title track to a non-Christmas album four months later, as well. A solo

A sad day for the fans of The Chicks, formally the Dixie Chicks. Laura Lynch, one of the founding members of the Dixie Chicks, has passed away due to a car accident. Lynch was driving right outside of El Paso when another car slammed into her vehicle. A driver was trying to pass another car

I don’t know how many more signs we can give you to hit your local karaoke bar. From Will Ferrell and  John Daly to Ed Sheeran, you just never know who is going to be in what city and who is in the mood to strike up a tune on the karaoke machine. Good or bad,

Is there anything that the Red Clay Strays can’t sing? I have a feeling that 2024 will hold big things for the boys that make up the Red Clay Strays. With “Wondering Why” sitting in the top ten of the Apple Country charts, their fandom growing rapidly, and an album in the works, big things

Toby‘s first rehearsal turned into a 2 1/2 hour pop-up show. He sang all the hits plus the Bus Songs…Toby is back! 📸: Suzanne Cordeiro pic.twitter.com/WPzLOVoUYP — Toby Keith (@tobykeith) July 1, 2023 And more recently, Toby gave his first televised performance since his cancer diagnosis with a heartbreaking performance of “Don’t Let The Old

“I ain’t your hooker, your nanny or your maid…” Go ahead and preach, Ashland Craft. She released a new single called “Hooker” a few weeks ago, and it’s a must-listen if you’ve ever been in a relationship with a man who just doesn’t seem to pull his own weight in the relationship, so to speak.

F*cking scumbags. If you’re not familiar with Ritch Henderson, he’s one of the latest in a long line of incredible artists coming out of Alabama right now after dropping a killer debut album this year with Fallacies and Four Letter Words. It’s already hard enough for artists who earn a living out on the road.

What a throwback. If you spend as much time on Youtube as I do, you’re bound to run into some old videos from way back before artists were uploading music there on a regular basis. Actually, there was a time when it was mostly just grainy cover videos or live performances, and if you wanted

There are few things better than coming across an artist new to you whose music resonates deeply. Whether it’s a brand new artist releasing music for the first time, a band that’s been around for a while that is breaking through into the next phase of their careers following the release of a particularly well-received

HARDY is opening up about his struggles with anxiety. Hardy and some of his team were involved in a very serious accident last year, where his tour bus ran off the highway going around 70 miles per hour and flipped into the woods. His tour photographer/videographer and friend Tanner Gallagher shared previously that everyone on the bus was

William Clark Green sure knows how to write a song, and he knows how to cover ‘em too. The legendary Texas troubadour has long been revered as a spectacular songwriter and performer, both regionally and nationally, for the better part of his 15+ year career. Through his individual work as well as his work with

Is there an all-around, better country song that exists than “Crazy”? You’d be hard-pressed to point to a more classic, meaningful song within the genre of country music other than that one, and it was famously recorded by the great Patsy Cline in the early 60s. Of course, it was originally written by the one and

I think it’s safe to say that the legendary George Strait has had a hangover or two in his day. Currently, he is the part owner of an amazing tequila brand called Código Tequila, and although he doesn’t party like he used to, he doesn’t mind having a stiff drink every now and then. So

Oliver Anthony‘s meteoric rise continues. The Virginia native burst onto the scene with his original song “Rich Men North of Richmond” earlier this summer, and quickly went viral as the song racked up over 100 million views on YouTube and nearly 130 million streams on Spotify. Of course the song wasn’t without controversy: Many on

Need these two to get in the studio ASAP. Lainey Wilson is currently in Las Vegas for a four-night run at The Theater at Virgin Hotels during the National Finals Rodeo. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year brought a ton of talent with her to Sin City, including names like Jake Worthington and Colby

Three guys walk into a bar… In this case, it’s more like three guys walking up to a piano, but if you have any three guys walking up to a piano, you want it to be these three.  Paul Cauthen, Ward Davis, and Cody Jinks gathered around a piano to cover The Eagles, and it’s

This is getting out of hand… Just kidding. It’s been out of hand for a long time. These days Nashville has just become an endless string of massive artist-owned bars that, for the most part, are pretty much all the same. There’s Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock, Garth
