Eighteen years after the release of her hit single “Break Down Here,” Julie Roberts is prepping her country music comeback. Her upcoming album Ain’t in No Hurry, set for release on Oct. 28, showcases Roberts’ musical range by plucking elements from traditional country, classic soul and southern blues. The project is her first full-length release since

There are very few songs that make me break down into full-on sobs every single time I hear them. Okay, that’s not necessarily true, but there are only a handful that will like ruin my day.

It sounds like another #1 is in Luke Combs’ future. He just announced that “Going, Going Gone,” from his third studio album Growin’ Up, will be his next single at country radio: “Excited to let y’all know ‘Going, Going, Gone’ will be my next single on country radio!” In the song, Luke sings about a

Let me set the scene….it’s February 12, 2015, and it’s been 8 months since Sturgill dropped Metamodern Sounds in Country Music.

These two go way back. We’ve all heard the very sad news that the great and iconic Loretta Lynn sadly passed away on Tuesday morning at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, at the age of 90. And of course, plenty of her peers, like Randy Travis, as well as many younger artists who have been

One of my all-time favorite country songs is Loretta Lynn’s “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man).” The country icon sadly passed away on Tuesday morning at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, at age 90, and I haven’t been able to get this one out of my head ever since. “You Ain’t Woman

I’ve written before about how Craig Campbell never seems to get the respect he deserves. But this is just taking the disrespect to a whole other level. Obviously in the TikTok era that we’re living in, artists have a new platform to build followings and translate that into a career in music. And sometimes that

The Young Fables “She Was Mine” The Young Fables have released their brand new album, Pages, which features the poignant standout track, “She Was Mine.” Penned by the pair Laurel Wright and Wes Lunford alongside Dean Fields and Mitch Dane, the plaintive ballad is a heartfelt chronicle of Wright’s heartbroken spirit after losing her sister.

The first #1 album of many for The King. It’s hard to keep up with all the milestones in George Strait’s legendary career, and on this date in 1983, he released his third studio album, Right Or Wrong. It was his first #1 album on the U.S. Country charts, and included three #1 singles in “You

Emily Nenni has accrued an organic, fired-up fanbase over the past few years through her live performances on the road and in Nashville’s beloved bars like Bobby’s Idle Hour, Robert’s Western World and Santa’s Pub where she’s a vital part of the honky-tonk scene. Her 2017 record, Hell of a Woman, and the string of releases that followed

I am an absolute sucker for a studio video. Maybe it’s because I recall going to the studio a very few times with my father, but there is something about seeing all the different parts come together from a session that draws me in. Koe Wetzel released a second video from inside the Sonic Ranch

What’s the verdict? We’ve had about half a week to dive into the new Tyler Childers record, and so far the reviews are pretty mixed. Titled Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven?, it’s a 3-part album featuring 8 songs, each in three different styles, for a total of 24 tracks. The Hallelujah album features

That’ll get the waterworks flowing… Alan Jackson shared a phone call between himself and the late, great Loretta Lynn, who passed away this morning at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, and it’s probably the sweetest tribute I’ve seen so far.

After nearly 15 years in the music industry, six studio albums and 11 number one hits, there isn’t much in country music that Justin Moore hasn’t already done. But he’s never released a duet as a single – until now. Fresh off of his latest #1 hit, “With a Woman You Love,” Justin announced today
