Country music is well-known for its wild characters and crazy stories. Like Hank William’s infamous arrest photo, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings spending over $1,000 a day on drugs and alcohol, and Merle Haggard spending 5 days on a boat naked with an unnamed female country star and $2 grand worth of cocaine, plus who

Man, it would have been awesome if Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash had worked together more often throughout their careers. While Dolly has long been the heartthrob for country music fans across the globe, she made waves a while back during an interview with The Big Issue where she shared that her first crush was

Country music is universal, and is so relatable that it can sneak into any part of life. After Georgia’s blowout win over Kentucky yesterday, head Coach Kirby Smart was speaking to the media when an interesting question came up. Smart had used an analogy with “wrecking ball” in it earlier in the conversation, and one

Adding another reason to the list of why we love Jelly Roll. I mean, let’s face the facts here, folks: Jelly Roll just made a core memory for this fan. The country artist is known for having a teddy bear-like personality, despite his tattooed-covered stature that might have your boomer mom a little uneasy. But time

Big things from Blackberry Smoke. Today, the famed southern rock group released the second single from their upcoming album, a new song titled “Little Bit Crazy.” The harmony-filled track tells the tale of a gal that could send a man falling in love into a spiral if it doesn’t work out. Charlie Starr, lead man

What’s the best song Chris Stapleton has ever written? It’s a pretty exhausting list, isn’t it? Whether you like fun country songs like the Kenny Chesney hit “Never Wanted Nothing More,” emotional songs like “Maggie’s Song,” or “Daddy Doesn’t Pray Anymore,” heartbreakers like the Josh Turner hit “Another Try,” or powerful, thoughtful ones like “Fire

I can’t wait to hear these new love songs. Lainey Wilson has had what many would call a breakout last year or two (that even feels like an understatement), though she was in Nashville for right around a decade grinding and busting her ass to get to this moment. Suffice all that to say, she’s more than

What is the hardest lyric in all of country music? There might be a few out there that vie for the top spot, but I think it’s pretty difficult to find a harder line than this one from Johnny Cash’s classic “Folsom Prison Blues,” one of the greatest country songs of all time. “When I

I love it when a song I love does so well. Koe Wetzel’s fan-favorite single “Ragweed” has officially been certified Gold by the RIAA, meaning it has moved over 500,000 units since it was released a few years ago: The song was included on Koe’s 2019 Harold Saul High album as a cool tribute to the

Jimmy Butler is a BIG country music guy. The superstar for the Miami Heat has said in the past that he used to listen to country music to annoy his teammates…but then he actually got into it. And now, Jimmy Buckets is an outspoken country music fan. Earlier this year, Butler had Morgan Wallen and Luke

Jelly Roll continues to have an absolutely incredible year. His most recent country album Whitsitt Chapel was released back in June, and the hype leading up to it paid off. Country music fans loved the project, and praised the authenticity of both the album and the artist behind it. Since its release, Jelly has been

Over the past few years, the notion of “cancel culture” has become a hot button issue. Winston Marshall, former member of the folk group Mumford & Sons, knows the feeling of cancel culture firsthand, as he’s experienced it himself. Marshall left the band in 2021 after he tweeted support for conservative author Andy Ngo’s book,

“Waymore’s Blues” is up there on my list of all-time great country songs. While many, many artists have laid down killer covers of the Waylon Jennings classic… something about Sturgill Simpson’s versions just hits different. Maybe because Sturgill Simpson recently returned to the stage during Healing Appalachia, that is making me dive back into his older

JD Clayton is back with more music, and his latest single is an absolute force Clayton’s latest single “Arkansas Kid” will melt your face off sonically and have you tapping your foot in no time. And if it feels like a full blown southern rock tune that could have originated in Lynyrd Skynyrd-era Jacksonville, Florida

Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler might just be the most interesting professional athlete in all of sports. He certainly has a pretty big personality, and isn’t afraid to show it. Maybe that’s why he decided to start up his own coffee business called “Big Face Coffee” during the pandemic to match his charisma. And when

Something about little kids being on stage tugs at the heartstrings. Parker McCollum brought up a special little friend onto the stage during his show the other night, which turned into one of the most adorable moments. A young gold-chained cowboy was asked on stage to join Parker for “Hell Of The Year,” which he

Chris Stapleton out here making grown men cry. Then again, it’s Garth Brooks we’re talking about here… the man cries at the drop of a hat. I mean, Trisha starts pulling a tater tot casserole out of the oven and you can already picture Garth attacking the Kleenex box like a rabid hyena. That being

Charles Wesley Godwin is the IT man in country music right now. Godwin has been riding a rollercoaster of highs these days. He recently inked a contract with Warner Chappell Music, has been non-stop touring, and has released his Stage AE documentary and many other milestones. Off the heels of his stellar Family Ties album

These days Taylor Swift dominates headlines no matter what she says or does. The entire internet is seemingly focused on her new relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and her Eras Tour is smashing stadium records everywhere she goes. Taylor is truly a global superstar, with all of her albums being certified
