Nobody does it quite like Charles Wesley Godwin right now. The West Virginia native is on a rocket to the moon in the country music scene, thanks to what he’s proven he can do both in the studio and on stage. His 2021 record How the Mighty Fall was named the 2021 Whiskey Riff Album of

JD Clayton has been one of my favorite artists on the horizon. I stumbled upon JD in 2022 when he released his EP, Side A, and instantly fell in love with his tune, “Beauty Queen.” The similarities between his, Lucas Nelson, and Nathaniel Ratliff’s sound was an instant selling point for me. Just some good ole Americana/folk

Colter Wall’s cover of “Cowpoke” has a way of sneaking into my cognitive brain loop on repeat. Not only is the song a lilting humming tune, but Colter’s voice is a throwback to an old western scene somewhere. His rendition is so good it paints a vivid portrait of life out in the middle of

There’s few artists more unique than Charley Crockett. The San Benito, Texas native has carved out quite the niche for himself in country music, with songs that echo back to old time western sounds and a vocal cadence and enunciation that can only be called Charley Crockett-esque. His latest album, The Man From Waco, was released in

Ashley McBryde is taking listeners on a trip back home with her heartwarming new single, “Light on in the Kitchen.” The stirring song, which McBryde co-wrote with Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck” co-writers Connie Harrington and Jessi Alexander, highlights the simple joys of returning home to one’s family. Picture this: You’ve spent far too

Tim McGraw’s cookin’ something up… He shared a pretty cryptic video on Instagram earlier, saying that he’d created a playlist called McGraw Three-ten Twenty Three, which features a mix of #1’s, a couple international hits and a few deep cuts, as well. And he added that there was something else coming soon, too… Though he played

Dalton Dover “Giving Up on That” Up-and-comer Dalton Dover has just released “Giving Up on That,” his debut single with UMG Nashville and Mercury Records. Written by Dover, Adam Craig and John Pierce, this heartbreak track has all the makings of a country radio hit. “Cause girl, I’m giving up on / Drinking as much

Been quite awhile since we’ve gotten new music from Brad Paisley. The early-2000s superstar hasn’t released a full-length album since Love and War in 2017, and hasn’t even really had a hit single since “Today” back in 2016. Brad had some amazing songs back in the day: He was one of the biggest names in country music

I mean, there was really no other option, right? Koe Wetzel has been working on a new venture for a few months now, a bar and restaurant called Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room, in Fort Worth, Texas. We broke the story back in January that the Texas rock star was working on it, and it looks

When we call country music an American art form, that includes all of America. Country music has a long history of sharing musical elements with music from South of the border — and Veronique Medrano reminds us of those influences in the bombastic “Running on Empty.” Medrano, a self-described Tex-Mex country artist, hails from Brownsville, Texas. Her new song

Zach Bryan is bringing the best of the best along with him for his upcoming Burn, Burn, Burn tour. He revealed on Instagram that his good friend Charles Wesley Godwin will be on the road with him, who opened up on his 2022 tour, as well as his bandmate and great artist in his own

Say LESS, Luke… Yellowstone’s Luke Grimes confirmed back in September that he was working on his debut, full country album, then told Jimmy Fallon earlier this year that he was heading to the studio to record this month, and that he’d likely have the project ready by sometime March. We also already know that he’s

What. A. Song. It’s always a bit confusing how exactly to classify a song that comes out right on the border of 2 decades. There’s no denying ’90s country will always have a special place in our hearts, but what about those songs that came out right at the turn on the millennium that still

Over the past fifteen years, Record Store Day has become an unofficial holiday for music lovers worldwide. The annual event draws thousands of eager shoppers to their local record stores in hopes of snagging limited releases from their favorite artists. On Saturday, April 22, Record Store Day 2023 will usher in the release of rare, expanded and

I never thought I’d see the day… Tyler Childers and Elle King teamed up for a live duet of “Jersey Giant,” a formerly-unreleased Tyler gem, which has been a fan-favorite for many years. Tyler used to perform it here and there at live shows, but had never included it on an album or officially cut

It’s official: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are set to release their eighth studio album, Weathervanes, on June 9. The project finds the 44-year-old singer-songwriter examining life through a different lens, offering a thoughtful perspective that emerged from navigating a new set of distinctly adult challenges. “There is something about boundaries on this record,” Isbell says.

Danno Simpson is a name country music fans need to know. The up and comer just released his single “Old Town Saturday Night” this past week, the latest addition to his growing catalog of spectacular country music highlighted by deft lyricism and his demonstrated knack for storytelling. A track that is especially entertaining and cleverly

The late, great Kurt Cobain would’ve been 56 years old today. Born on February 20th, 1967, he ultimately became a music icon, most notably as the Nirvana frontman and pioneer of the “grunge” genre. Though he became an international rock star, ironically, Kurt never wanted all the fame and recognition, famously hated the media, and

Grab the tissues for this one. Iam Tongi made a lasting impression on the panel of American Idol judges to tears during his audition through his emotional performance. The Hawaiian high school student walks into the room and shares that he lost his father, Rodney, only a few months ago. As he speaks to the

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that Charles Wesley Godwin is the best thing in country music right now. Obviously, a very subjective statement, but for my money, CWG and The Allegheny High are on fire right now. My advice… go see him as soon as you can because it’s only a matter
