Nobody who deserves this one more. Jake Worthington is leading the new wave of traditional country up-and-comers in a big way after the release of his self-titled debut album. Filled with fiddle, steel, heartbreak and beer, Jake has a sound that reminiscent of some of the greats like Randy Travis, Keith Whitley, Mark Chesnutt, and

I don’t know if anyone had this situation on their bingo card for 2023, because it’s almost too crazy to make up. Canadian wildfires have caused a wild scene in New York City today, with tons of thick smoke covering the greater New York City area and the state as a whole, reaching as far

It sounds like Morgan Wallen will be hitting the stage again a little bit sooner than expected. After announcing on May 9th that he had been ordered to a six week vocal rest due to an issue with his vocal chords, Morgan posted an update on his Instagram stories about 30 minutes ago that he’s

LET’S GO. Chuck and Gary, better known as Muscadine Bloodline, one of the best country music duos in the business, have been sharing a number of great acoustic covers that will take you right back to the peak of your teenage angst and the nostalgia of your formidable middle school years. We’re talking covers of

The Idaho boy finally made it to the Grand Ole Opry. It’s been a big couple of months for Colby Acuff. The Coeur d’Alene, Idaho native announced back in May that his upcoming album, Western White Pines, would be dropping this coming Friday, June 9. And on the same day, he also announced that he

They don’t call him The King for nothin’… George Strait set back-to-back attendance records at two different stadium shows over the past couple weeks, as a record-setting 46,641 fans packed into to Milwaukee’s American Family Field this past Saturday evening to see him play, following the previous weekend’s record-setting 63,891 attendees at Columbus’s Ohio Stadium for

Luke Grimes is taking a deeper look at his outlaw ways in his new song, “Playin’ on the Tracks.” The Yellowstone star co-wrote his new tune with Brent Cobb, and the rootsy, mid-tempo number finds Grimes pondering on his life voyage and decisions made. “Try to keep my mind on the present time / My pride

I really hope this becomes a regular part of Miranda Lambert’s set. She headlined Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach, Florida on Friday night (which Morgan was also supposed to play this weekend, and has been rescheduled to 2024), and performed “Thought You Should Know” for the first time live for the packed crowd there

Does this mean I can have my own bar in Nashville now? Obviously AI and programs like ChatGPT are the way of the future. AI is already being used by some websites to write their content (not Whiskey Riff though, because we’re better than that), and it’s even being used by lawyers to write up

An Opry debut is a special moment for any artist, but having your Opry debut at the iconic Ryman Auditorium is next level. Corey Kent is the new kid on the block, and he has blown up from his single “Wild As Her.” The Oklahoma native channels the fundamentals of red dirt music in the

Tanya Tucker has still got it. The “Delta Dawn” singer broke onto the country music scene back in the 1970s at the age of 13 years old, and though she never really went away, what people are calling her “great country comeback” is truly a galloping success. I mean, can’t complain much if you are

When you think of a dream blunt rotation, who would be in it? Of course, everybody is going to feature Willie Nelson, because the guy is a near god when it comes to the devil’s lettuce. However, this may be the most unlikely, yet most incredible blunt rotation I’ve ever heard in my life. ERNEST

Would it be justified to start a petition to change our national anthem to “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK ALAN. (Sorry, I had to). Personally, I think that sounds like a great idea, and I’m celebrating today because on this date in 2003 the world-altering duet

Luke Combs is currently on his World Tour, packing stadiums left and right and traveling all across the globe to bring country music fans his iconic voice and anthemic songs. The tour started back in March and runs all the way through October, with the country star only playing his concerts on weekends to allow

Well, it’s about damn time… Luke Combs and his label, mostly, are finally pushing “Fast Car” as an official single at country radio. They previously shipped it to U.S. Pop Top 40 and Hot AC Radio in April, where it’s already inside the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as of this past week.

Waylon effin’ Jennings, man… “I Ain’t Living Long Like This” is a country music staple. Originally written by Rodney Crowell and recorded by Gary Stewart on his 1977, Your Place or Mine, it’s been done time and time again. Emmylou Harris recorded her version in 1978, as did Crowell on his debut album, but then

Somebody’s about to get them a new porch swing angel. A fan at last night’s Chicago Cubs captured a picture of the moment a fan’s proposal to his girlfriend popped up on the video board at Wrigley Field. And apparently the happy couple are fans of Muscadine Bloodline, because our guy pulled out a line

That’s how you get their attention. Philip Bowen has had our attention for a while now with his incredible fiddle covers, adding strings to everything from Colter Wall and Zach Bryan to “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC and even “Gangsta’s Paradise.” And while he gained popularity through TikTok, Philip is credited on tracks from artists like Jenna

Hank Williams Jr. is pretty well-known for getting rowdy from time to time, and his album titled Rowdy all but confirmed the legend of the country music star. And one of the album’s hit songs, “Dixie on My Mind,” was released on this day in 1981 as the project’s second single. Hank’s lyrical storytelling ability
