Cody Johnson is one country artist I wouldn’t want to mess with. There are a lot of wannabe-tough guys in country music. But CoJo’s definitely not one of them. The superstar out of Texas is a former rodeo bull rider, and he also used to work as a prison guard in the Texas state penitentiary

One of my all-time favorites from the early days of 49 Winchester. “Blue Ribbon Blues” is a highly-underrated hangover heartbreak anthem from their self-titled debut album from 2014. They gave the song a moment in the limelight during their 2019 Red Barn Radio session. If there is one thing 49 Winchester does well is highlighting

My jaw dropped when Bella White let out the first note of this tune. Bella White is a stand-out artist in my books these days. Her traditional sound incorporates flares of Appalachian roots, and her masterful songwriting will hit you where it hurts. But as we know, we love some sad country songs here at

I know Canadians are known for being polite people but I think these security might be taking it a little too far. Luke Combs rolled into Vancouver, British Columbia last night with his record-breaking Luke Combs World Tour. But a few women who apparently had “1, 2 Many” decided to throw down in the concourse of

It was 101 degrees for Ryan Bingham’s set at Stagecoach. I know because I checked the weather app on my phone just before the screen went black with an ominous warning: “iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.” My phone was already dying in the desert and, if I wasn’t careful, I’d

So what they’re saying is…that didn’t impress them much? Shania Twain is BACK as the ’90s country icon recently embarked on her first tour in five years when she kicked off her Queen of Me World Tour last month. Tickets sold out so fast after Shania announced the tour that she had to add more dates as

Gabe Lee is on a straight track to country music success, and his new song “Property Line” shows how his narrative songwriting and old fashioned style singing (peak of country sound) still manages to stay incredibly modern. Lee has come out swinging in his country music career, simultaneously setting both the tone and the framework

I think those Muscadine Bloodline boys are onto something… I mean, who doesn’t love a good Blink-182 song? On multiple occasions over the past couple of weeks, the Alabama based duo has taken to Instagram to share acoustic covers of some of their favorite pop-punk songs they grew up on. And if you haven’t seen

Yeah, that’ll get you canned pretty quick. Of course these days Eric Church has a pretty sweet gig, making music that he loves, playing for crowds of adoring fans, and selling out arenas and amphitheaters around the country as he gets ready to embark on his Outsiders Revival Tour. Long before he was the country

Jana Kramer is tying the knot. She announced the news today on her Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast that she is engaged to her boyfriend of six months, Allan Russell. She said that it happened after she and Russell hosted a small pool party for her kids, and after it was over, he suggested

I’ll never be mad at a surprise song from Ben Burgess. He dropped a new one this evening called “Silverado Blues,” which is an almost seven-minute song detailing the end of a relationship and everything that’s happened with the woman who was left heartbroken since. Of course, she finds herself with the “Silverado blues,” hence the

The world lost a music icon yesterday, as it was just confirmed today that the “Queen of Rock and Roll” Tina Turner passed away in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. She left an indelible mark on the world, and from very humble beginnings in Brownsville, Tennessee became an international superstar with 12 Grammy

49 Winchester and ERNEST singing the blues is something I didn’t know I needed in my life. We’ve gotten some incredible music from Spotify Singles over the years, with artists going into the studio to re-record their hits or do some unique covers of their favorites. And that’s exactly what 49 Winchester and ERNEST did.

Things are going pretty well for Post Malone right now. He recently announced he would be releasing a new album titled Austin on July 28th, he cut out soda out of his diet and dropped a lot of weight, he’s enjoying his life as a dad after welcoming a daughter last May, and his self

Mandi Sagal takes aim at modern Christianity with her fiery new song “Holy Smoke.” Backed by acoustic guitar and swelling production, the singer-songwriter doesn’t mince her words. “I see your Bible’s open but your mind is closed / You’re a sinner just like me, so why are you casting stones,” she sings. “When it looks a

The ACM Awards have seen their fair share of disastrous performances over the years. There was the Rascal Flatts lip-syncing debacle back in 2014, where the band admitted afterwards that they’re “not very good at it.” Or 2017, when for some reason the ACMs decided to feature a Backstreet Boys reunion as the 90s pop

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

Showing the kids how it’s done. A new American Idol was crowned last night, as Iam Tongi was named the winner of what feels like at least the 100th season of the show so far. But before the winner was announced, the show brought out some seasoned vets to show the up-and-comers how it’s done.

Harper O’Neill finds herself missing someone she shouldn’t with the smokey “Guilty.” In between heart-throbbing percussion and a guitar’s soft cry, she yearns for just one more embrace. It might hurt her, but she’s willing to take that risk — mostly because she just can’t resist. “Who in the world could ever blame me,” she sings. “Knew from the
