It’s damn near impossible to do a country classic of this significance justice, but Tyler Childers somehow pulled it off. Sadly, Kris Kristofferson passed away at the age of 88 years old this past weekend, at his home in Maui, Hawaii. Of course, he will be greatly missed, and his contributions to not only the country

So there’s no trouble in paradise? Zach Bryan found himself in the middle of a firestorm, and in the crosshairs of Swifties, a couple weeks ago when he tweeted that he thought Kanye West was better than Taylor Swift. Obviously Kanye and Taylor have a lot of history, from the infamous VMA Awards moment to

If Waylon Jennings is stepping in to do your intervention… it’s safe to say that things have gotten out of control. It’s no secret that both he and his friend Johnny Cash had severe drug problems in their younger years, and it was compounded by the fact that they lived together, and encouraged those bad

Billy Strings is making it right with those who bought tickets to his annual Renewal Festival in Buena Vista, Colorado. Strings was not planning on canceling his set during the concert, but his wife went into labor, and he knew he needed to make the choice to be by his wife’s side as she delivered

Take it easy… The Eagles are legends of the country rock scene, with a catalog full of iconic songs like “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Life In The Fast Lane,” and of course, “Hotel California.” Though the band lost founding member and co-frontman Glenn Frey, who passed away in 2016, the Eagles have continued on with Don

Helping out his community and his neighbors. Much of the southeast is facing unimaginable devastation in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which left communities across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee completely wiped out and hundreds still missing even three days later. So far, over 100 people have been confirmed dead, though that

Four new tunes. Today, Ella Langley announced a deluxe edition of her debut album hungover, which was released in August and included her hit song with Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me.” It will feature four new songs, one of which called “weren’t for the wind” will be out this Friday. The rest

Paying tribute to one of his heroes. After the news came out today that we lost the legendary Kris Kristofferson at the age of 88, tributes began pouring in from artists and fans alike. It’s hard to overstate the impact Kristofferson had on country music with not only his iconic songwriting and his work with

Showing up for the home town. Hurricane Helene is wreaking havoc across the southeast after making landfall on the Gulf coast of Florida a couple days ago. And while the devastation in the Sunshine State is catastrophic, western North Carolina has been hit with flooding like the region has never seen before. Over 6o death

Several months after the release of their debut EP three twenty four in August 2023, Ole 60 experienced a delayed viral breakthrough that catapulted them into a spotlight they never expected. Hailing from Kentucky and boasting a unique Appalachian Rock sound, the group quickly rose to fame thereafter with their hit song “smoke & a light”

The wild child of country music is hitting us with two new ones. Gavin Adcock announced that he was gearing up to release the first singles since his sophomore record, Actin’ Up Again. While he was initially going to release them both simultaneously, fans were begging for new music, so he granted their wish, giving

Sometimes I forget just how many great songs Brad Paisley has in his catalog. In the early 2000s, Brad was the biggest name in country music with hits like “We Danced,” “She’s Everything,” “I’m Gonna Miss Her” and so many more. I even remember (kind of) seeing him and college and singing along with “Alcohol”

Probably feeling pretty good about his decision right now. Obviously Sean “Diddy” Combs probably isn’t somebody you want to be associated with these days. The disgraced rapper and producer was recently arrested on federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking following a slew of lawsuits and allegations involving “freak offs” and thousands of bottles of

Shania… is that you? The 2nd Annual People Choice Country Awards are underway tonight in Nashville, Tennessee, with the great Shania Twain handling the hosting duties. And speaking of Shania Twain… plenty of country music fans had no idea who was walking the red carpet when she showed up. Rocking a bit a of a

Oh, Waylon… I think we all know that the country outlaw certainly wasn’t shy, and he was just as honest and authentic in real life as he was in his songs. And of course, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson were both pioneers of the country outlaw movement in the 1970’s, and became great friends for

What a loaded question asking someone what the best country song of all-time is. If you answer, you’ll leave out a ton of great choices and if you don’t it’s hard to take your opinion seriously, or at least it brings a raised eyebrow. In this moment, I think the best country song of all-time

Ladies, you’re welcome. Today, Riley Green announced his headlining 2025 Damn Country Music tour, which features a stellar lineup in openers Ella Langley, Drake White, Vincent Mason, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington, Preston Cooper, Erik Dylan, Wyatt McCubbin, Mike Ryan and Channing Wilson. It will be one of the best lineups from top to bottom for a

Leave it to Chief to put a new spin on an old classic. For my money, Alan Jackson is one of the best to ever do this thing called country music. Granted, I was born in the late ’80s so I’m well aware of how much nostalgia plays a part in that. Nevertheless, the ’90s

Country music’s definitely a melting pot these days. Obviously there are still plenty of people who criticize the genre for not being diverse enough when it comes to both women and minority artists. But it’s hard to argue that the genre looks a lot different than it did even just 20 years ago. Shaboozey is

The most popular girl in school… and it makes sense. It’s almost hard to believe now that Dolly Parton didn’t love school or enjoy any aspect of it, because she does so much for children’s education with her Imagination Library foundation. She was never a star student, but made decent grades and did enough to
