Fear not, everyone. He’s back. A little over a week ago, Zach Bryan sent his fans into a tailspin after mysteriously deleting his Twitter account. Now, for some artists that wouldn’t really be a big deal – and there are many who you wouldn’t even notice if they left. But Zach is pretty active on

Think back to the first time you heard Tracy Lawrence‘s iconic hit “Paint Me a Birmingham.” Be honest: You thought it was talking about a city in Alabama, right? Well it turns out you’d be wrong. On an episode of The Justin Moore Podcast, Tracy explained the real meaning to Justin and his tour manager JR:

Neo-traditional country newcomer Mae Estes has released her highly anticipated debut EP, Before the Record. Out today (Feb. 17), the aptly-titled six-song set includes one never-before-heard track, “Town Left Me.” Penned by Estes, Autumn McEntire and Paul Sikes, the poignant, semi-autobiographical tune chronicles Estes’ struggle to grapple with how much her hometown has changed during her absence. It

Absolutely tragic news out of Nashville tonight. Kyle Jacobs, the singer-songwriter husband of singer and former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler, was found dead at the couple’s Nashville home this afternoon, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, officers got a call for an apparent suicide at the residence

Chris Stapleton has reunited with Pink for their tender new duet, “Just Say I’m Sorry.” The plaintive song, which Stapleton wrote with Alecia Moore, finds both singers imploring their significant others to put down their pride and apologize. “Just say, ‘I’m sorry’ / It’s not the hardest thing to do / Just say you’re wrong

What a cool surprise. Dolly Parton and the late Olivia Newton-John teamed up for a duet of Dolly’s iconic tune “Jolene,” which they recorded several months before Olivia passed away after a decades-long battle with breast cancer in August of 2022. Dolly and Olivia actually became friends after Olivia won the CMA for Female Vocalist

Reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Lainey Wilson has released her cover of the Rolling Stones classic “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” from their 1969 album, Let It Bleed. Instead of opening with a choir like the original, Wilson’s reimagined version starts off with gentle acoustic strums, before she arrives on the

Better get the tissues ready for this one. I’ve said before that Craig Campbell is one of the more underrated guys in country music today. He’s got some absolute heaters in his catalog, like “Family Man” and “Outskirts of Heaven,” which may be up there for one of the best country songs of all time.

LAWD have mercy… Carly Pearce absolutely nailed this. Over five years ago, she did an acoustic cover of Deana Carter’s 90’s classic “Strawberry Wine,” and it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever heard. Written by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison, “Strawberry Wine” was Deana’s debut single, and included on her debut studio album Did I

Kelsea Ballerini “Penthouse” Kelsea Ballerini bares her heart on her new ballad, “Penthouse.” The plaintive ballad finds the newly-divorced singer reflecting on the quality of her past marriage and the facade they put up. Lyrically, it harkens back to the sentiment of Tammy Wynette‘s “I Don’t Wanna Play House.”  In that 1967 hit, Wynette recounts her daughter’s

These boys know how to rock. It is no secret that I love me some Marcus King and  Blackberry Smoke. Now, put them together on one stage, and I’m kicking myself that I missed this performance. A week ago, Marcus King made a surprise appearance during the Blackberry Smoke show at The Ryman Auditorium in

Giving the people what they want. We’ve all see the iconic Billy Strings video by now. You know, the one where he shredded an acoustic guitar at a house party in what looks like it might be a basement. Roll the tape… Well, the kid is back with another live performance of his hit song,

We are taking it back to 2013 with the great Brent Cobb performing “I’ve Been Known” at Wiregrass Studios in Georgia. I went through a phase during my freshman year of college where I played this an unhealthy amount of times each week and almost forgot how much I loved this song till I found

Charles Wesley Godwin is off to a hot start in 2023. He just made his very well-deserved debut at the Grand Ole Opry over the weekend, and today, he’s teasing a brand new tune called “The Flood.” He says it was inspired by a story about his mom driving over a broken bride to get

There are few relationships that are more storied than the marriage between Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. The two met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry back in 1956, although they were both married to different people at the time, Johnny was with Vivian Liberto, and June Carter was with Edwin Nix. However, by

Happy Monday, y’all. Today for the Song of the Week, we have a tune from Ernest called “This Fire.” Part of Ern’s new FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses deluxe record, it’s a damn good country song in every sense, that was written by Ernest along with Rocky Block, Julian Bunetta and John Ryan. The production

THAT’S how it’s done, people. I mean, there really isn’t a better candidate to have the honor of performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Universally loved, big booming voice, not the type to go off the rails and pull a Fergie… Chris has everything you’re looking for. And naturally… he crushed it. Eagles

Charles Wesley Godwin is the real deal. Of course there are plenty of people who already know that. His 2021 album How the Mighty Fall was our top album of the year, and he spent last year touring the country with Zach Bryan, wowing crowds and gaining new fans at every stop. And he’s started 2023 on

On the heels of a landmark year filled with major career accomplishments, Marty Stuart is ready to check off another box on his to-do list. The 64-year talent is set to release Altitude, his first new album in six years, on May 19. The recently-inducted Country Music Hall of Fame member stays true to his

Certified gold. Megan Moroney’s current single and fan-favorite song “Tennessee Orange,” which went viral on TikTok last year and helped her land a record deal with Sony, has been certified Gold by the RIAA, which means it has moved over 500,000 units since it was released in September. It’s her first Gold record, and it actually
