Got the post-holiday blues? Shania Twain is back with another uplifting and energizing anthem tailor-made to boost your serotonin levels. Released today (Jan. 5), the country superstar’s new single “Giddy Up!” is a catchy, lighthearted track that echos the joy of her biggest career hits while leaning into the pop-focused sound at the core of

A long time ago, a woman named Lyndel Rhodes wrote a song called “Little House on a Hill.” The mother of well know producer and songwriter Buddy Cannon, she wrote the song years and years ago, but when Buddy showed it to Willie Nelson, he immediately loved it. The story from Buddy goes a little

Go ahead and preach, Tracy… On a recent episode of Tracy Lawrence’s TL’s Road House podcast, Jelly Roll stopped by for a fascinating conversation, and they covered a wide variety of topics, from Jelly Roll’s time in prison and newfound success in country music, to Tracy’s take on the Nashville machine and how his career

Charles Wesley Godwin is quickly making a name for himself as the next top independent country music artist. Not only can the guy sing the dollar menu from McDonald’s and make it sound like a number one hit, but he can also paint a vivid story in his songwriting. Needless to say, being blessed with

CRINGE. If you’re squeamish I’d say turn away now, but you’re already here, so let’s just do this. Our buddies from Muscadine Bloodline sent us this Riley Green video from back in 2015 showing him snapping a dude’s arm (almost completely off maybe?) while arm wrestling down at the Flora-Bama. THAT SOUND… In the years

It’s been less than a year since Muscadine Bloodline released their acclaimed record Dispatch to 16th Ave., but the country duo already have a new project ready to share. Due out on Feb. 24, Teenage Dixie features 16 tracks thematically centered around coming of age amongst the deep-rooted traditions and folklore of Southern culture. “Teenage

Ernest is breaking in the new year right with a little acoustic love on the old Merle Haggard classic, “That’s The Way Love Goes.” Written by Lefty Frizzell and Whitey Shafer, the song was originally released by Johnny Rodriquez in 1973, and Connie Smith the following year, in 1974. Merle brought it back in 1983

I have been addicted to these guys recently. Meet Rattlesnake Milk. This Texas-based group’s sound will make you feel like you’ve taken a step back in time but with a modern twist. Their old western plain sound with elements of alternative and Americana is the perfect ‘y’allternative’ sound. I had seen clips of Rattlesnake here

The mid season finale is HERE. We’ve finally made it through the first half of the fifth season of Yellowstone and while I can’t say that I’ve been on the edge of my seat this season, the music has been fantastic as always. Yellowstone was back tonight with a brand new episode titled “A Knife

That George Jones was a wild one. His reputation as a country music legend, and one of the best country voices of all time, is well established. His reputation as a bit of a loose cannon is pretty well established too. Obviously, we all know the story of Jones driving a riding lawn mower to

What a way to kick off the new year… Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus teamed up for a rousing performance of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” during Miley’s Miley’s New Year’s Eve special tonight live from Miami, Florida. Dolly is of course gearing up to release a rock album, Rock Star, next year, so it

Happy New Years Eve. As we count down the hours to 2023, we also close out 2022 and celebrate making it through another year. Of course, in country music, the last 12 months were filled with all kinds of great music, which we somehow managed to narrow down to our top 40 favorites, so make

You can always count on Larry Fleet to deliver some good classic country with great songwriting. Garden & Gun did a fantastic acoustic set with Fleet a few weeks ago as part of their Back Porch Sessions. The setting for this video is breathtaking, add Lary Fleet’s performance, and it’s pure magic. The session took

When you think of rock ‘n roll, what’s the first name that comes to mind? Many would definitely say Elvis Presley. Dubbed The King of Rock and Roll, the man changed the music world forever, although some of reasons he changed the game (shaking those hips like a madman), was the reason a lot of

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is putting a bow on 2022 with a… lawsuit. According to a new report from Rolling Stone, a woman named Julia Holcomb has filed a lawsuit against the rock n’ roll legend, alleging that he sexually assaulted her as a minor back in the mid-’70s. She is also accusing him of sexual battery

Riley Green singing with a simple acoustic guitar is country at its finest. He likes to cover country classics, and even some of his more modern country favorites, on Instagram from time to time, and today, he’s blessing us with a stripped-back rendition of Randy Houser’s hit “Like a Cowboy.” A co-write by Randy with Brice Long,

Like most of middle America, I spend my Sunday nights watching Yellowstone and George & Tammy. A TV show about phenomenal ranchin’ and drama, followed by another limited series about one of country music’s most iconic love stories and duos. Not a bad way to end the weekend if you’re asking me. With the addition of George & Tammy to

I’ll go ahead and confess it, I’m a big time King of the Hill guy. I know, I know, you’re either attached to the show immediately, it’s an acquired taste, or you just can’t stand it (Basically how any TV show works), but for some reason, it’s next level comedy and I’ll die on that hill. Maybe

Now that’s a certified Christmas banger… Jon Pardi. covered Alan Jackson’s heater “Honky Tonk Christmas” as part of his CMT Campfire Sessions feature recently, and he brings in all sorts of fiddle-filled country goodness with his full band, acoustic performance. The title track to Alan’s 1993 Christmas album, “Honky Tonk Christmas” is a top-tier holiday original

Before Chris Stapleton’s big break in 2015, he was cranking out hit song after hit song. Writing songs for Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, George Strait and more, Chris was one of the most sought-after songwriters in town, but not only that, everybody in country music knew he could sing his ass off. It’s
