Way past bedtime. This week, Lainey Wilson was on Artist Friendly with Joel Madden podcast, where she talked about getting her start in Nashville, as well as working with some of the biggest names in music, like superstar Post Malone. They wrote together for Post’s debut country album F-1 Trillion, and Lainey was featured on

Welcome to the part of the year that without fail never feels like reality. The booze, cookies, pasta, ham, roast beef, candy, pies, and chocolates are starting to catch up to us all, there’s just no way around it. Between my wife and mom’s cooking, I’ve been feasting for what feels like a month straight

Precisely what the doctor orders as I rot on the couch, still digesting yesterday’s Christmas dinner. During the fall, Flatland Cavalry made its headline debut at the Mother Church, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The historic stage is the original location of the Grand Ole Opry, and for many artists, it holds the same sacred feeling as stepping

Is Beyoncé finally ready to take her country-inspired album on the road? There was a ton of buzz when the pop superstar released her album Cowboy Carter back in March. Featuring collaborations with country legends like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, the album debuted at #1 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Beyoncé also

Darius Rucker showing off his comedy chops. Merry Christmas from us here at Whiskey Riff. Hopefully you are having a wonderful time surrounded by friends and family. There’s also a chance that you are surrounded by loved ones and need a brief escape from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. If that’s the case,

Christmas came early for this Zach Bryan fan. The Quittin’ Time Tour has officially ended, and according to Zach Bryan, it was the last major tour of his career. When he released his latest project, The Great American Bar Scene, his Spotify profile noted that the Quittin’ Time Tour was his final tour, which sent fans

Merry Christmas Eve, y’all. I hope you’re spending the day however you want, whether that’s with friends and family, somewhere beautiful on vacation, or something completely different, it’s the second most festive day of the year, and that’s important. Y’all know how I feel about Christmas music (it’s not my favorite), but there is one

Christmas came early for Morgan Wallen fans. The country superstar teased a new song on Instagram a few minutes ago, and of course, there’s already tons of comments from fans begging him to release it and saying how much they like it. It’s the first new music he’s teased in a while, and while a

“My Favorite Things” is not a Christmas song. Sure, there’s some lines that reference winter and presents but is the criteria for a Christmas song that low? Someone, somewhere, at some point made a decision to play the Sound of Music number as the end of December drew near and now we’ve all been relegated to

This works scarily well. I am a sucker for a good mashup. Whether it’s Taylor Hunnicutt ripping it to “When The Rain Comes Down,” mixed with “Waymore’s Blues,” or 50 Cent using AI to create a country-sounding mashup of “In Da Club” and Conway Twitty, I will fall in love every time. Something about hearing

Read Southall’s career might have looked very different had he not been thrown off the back of a bull more than once. Read Southall sat down with the legendary bull rider JB Mauney during the National Rodeos Finals. (Now is the appropriate time to think about the sound bite, “He’s a $7 million bull rider.”

Everybody has their own Christmas traditions, and for most of us, it usually involves time together with your family, perhaps extended family, Christmas cookies and opening presents, maybe a special meal, some egg nog, singing Christmas carols, watching Christmas Vacation or Home Alone… you know, all the regular stuff. And maybe your life is like

There will never be another Intimidator. Pretty much any NASCAR fan will tell you that the sport hasn’t been the same since we lost Dale Earnhardt. The seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion passed away in a crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500 on February 18, 2001. And since then, the sport has

Country music super star Lainey Wilson is all about authenticity. She leaned on her own authentic self even when it wasn’t directly translating into success. Believe it or not, it took the “Heart Like A Truck” singer over 10 years to finally break through into the country music industry. Once she did though, Lainey never

Stephen Wilson Jr. is a big fan of the legendary Willie Nelson. And who isn’t really? The 91-year-old has made a career on being his unapologetic, country-music-playing self. I think we can all look at the career he’s had – and the legacy he’s weaved together – and learn a lot of “hero worthy” things

You just had to know Zach Bryan wasn’t going to let this year end without putting a little musical stamp on things, didn’t you? Over the past few years, few artists have released as much music as Zach Bryan. In fact, only Willie Nelson and Charley Crockett have released more songs associated with an album,

Nothing but high praise for the leader of No Shoes Nation. Megan Moroney is reflecting on her stellar 2024 year. From entering her blue era with the release of her sophomore record, Am I Okay?, supporting Kenny Chesney on a massive stadium tour to crushing a shoey on her first tour Down Under, Megan Moroney

When you get a chance to meet a president, you take it. Jelly Roll recently had the opportunity to meet President-Elect Donald Trump recently, when the “Son Of A Sinner” singer was seen on video greeting Trump, Elon Musk and Kid Rock at UFC 309. 🚨BREAKING: LEGENDARY SINGER JELLY ROLL JUST GREETED PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH

Toby probably wasn’t the guy you wanted to mess with. The legendary Toby Keith passed away back in February after a two-year battle with stomach cancer, and since then his friends and colleagues have come forward with some incredible memories and stories of the Big Dog Daddy. And it seems like they can all be

The story behind the viral hit. This week, Ella Langley appeared on the God’s Country podcast, and she talked a lot about her viral hit with Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me.” Ella co-wrote most of it with Aaron Ratiere, while Riley came up with the words for his second verse later on, after Ella
