Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne is opening up on his battle with depression. The duo recently stopped by SiriusXM’s Exit 209 with Storme Warren Podcast, where John shared a lot about his personal journey and struggle with depression. He admitted that it got so severe that he was suicidal and felt like there was no way out: “In

From the moment country-pop multi-instrumentalist Caroline Jones first heard British singer-songwriter Mimi Webb’s addictive hit song “House on Fire,” she was immediately hooked. “It has such a clever lyric, which I really appreciate being in country,” Jones tells The Boot in a recent interview. “I love lyrics that are layered, and there’s obviously a certain bit of

A new Charley Crockett era is upon us. He just announced his 11th career studio album The Man From Waco, which is slated to drop on September 9th. Charley wrote or co-wrote all 14 songs on the tracklist, as well. And he’s been on quite a tear lately, dropping three other albums in the last

It’s only been three months since Charley Crockett released his last record Lil G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley, but the Texas troubadour already has a new project ready to share with fans. On Sept. 9, he’ll release a brand new album titled The Man From Waco, which features 14 new songs and production by Bruce Robison. The country

I am a huge professional wrestling nerd, and the other day I was thinking about how country music and pro-wrestling have been entwined over the years. This was sort of sparked by AEW’s “Hangman” Adam Page’s Spotify playlist title “anxious millennial cowboy,” which features songs by Orville Peck, Waylon Jennings, and Charley Crockett. It really

“Is that Wheeler Walker Jr. up there?” My friend was joking, of course. We were watching Paul Cauthen perform the semi-satirical “Country As Fuck” from his recently released album Country Coming Down at the Palomino Festival in Pasadena, CA. And my buddy meant that as a compliment: from the moment Paul Cauthen stepped on stage

Set against the backdrop of the mighty Pacific, Lauren Monroe‘s latest song “Sparrow” teaches us to grieve. Monroe is both a singer-songwriter, a mental health advocate, and a healing artist who uses music to help us all reach greater understandings of ourselves and our loved ones. Monroe’s upcoming album, Messages From Aphrodite, focuses on love

Zach Bryan might have his first future #1 country hit on his hands. The first single from his recent, 34-track behemoth of an album American Heartbreak is the fan-favorite “Something in the Orange,” which debuted this week at #59 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart. And not only that, but it’s his first career charting

Rita Wilson’s latest offering off of her forthcoming duets and concepts album is her own version “Songbird,” which was released by Fleetwood Mac in 1977. The actress and singer hand-picked Josh Groban to join her on the track. His warm vocals pair beautifully with Wilson’s. “‘Songbird’ by Christine McVie has always been a song that

Happy Monday, y’all. Today for the Song of the Week, we have a cover called “She Thinks I Still Care” by Elvis Presley. The song was originally written by Dickey Lee and Steve Duffy and first popularized by George Jones when he released it as a single, as it eventually peaked at #1 on the Billboard

This is probably the coolest Airstream I’ve ever seen. Miranda Lambert recently showed off her vintage Airstream affectionally nicknamed “Wanda the Wanderer,” as the camper has traveled everywhere on tour with the Texas native for the last decade. A ’54 Flying Cloud model designed by the Junk Gypsy Company in Round Top, Texas, it has the

Thank GOD this video popped up on my YouTube queue. Nothing will tug at my heartstrings more than a musician performing with their parent. Billy Strings and his father, Terry Barber, sat down for a show at City Opera House in Traverse City, MI, in 2020. Although Barber is not Strings’ biological father, he raised

Go ahead and melt my face off, Whiskey Myers. On a tour stop in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheatre last night, they brought the heat with an incredible cover of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers “Refugee.” Released as the second single from their 1979 Damn the Torpedoes record, the song

Just days after being announced as one of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 2022 inductees, accomplished singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale is ready to share some new music. The influential country artist is gearing up to release a brand new album, Game Changer, on Aug. 26. He’s giving fans a sneak preview of the project with the

Willie Nelson returns to southern California at this weekend’s Palomino Festival at Brookside at the Rose Bowl. And although it’s purely wishful thinking on my part, I’m hoping that fellow music legend and cannabis aficionado, Snoop Dogg, is in town for the show. It would just make sense. Willie and Snoop have long expressed admiration

We all have to grow up sometime, and Maggie Carson‘s maturation on The Dark Was Aglow is something to behold. Carson cut her teeth with the rollicking Brooklyn folk band Spirit Family Reunion, and her debut solo album retains their scrappy energy and joie de vivre. On her own, though, Carson and her band create

Garth Brooks is arguably the most successful country artist of all time. With over 150 million units sold, he clocks in at number one all time in terms of country music artists, ahead of legends like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire and more. Garth is also leading all genres of music with a whopping

Margo Price has teamed up with Mavis Staples and Adia Victoria for a powerful new collaboration. Released today (July 8), “Fight to Make It” is a timely, energizing anthem for the marginalized and oppressed. Co-written with her husband and fellow accomplished singer-songwriter Jeremy Ivey, Price’s latest track pushes back against the widespread and longstanding gender, race and class divides

Where can I get this injected directly into my veins? We’re going way back into the vault today, to the year 2014, when Shooter Jennings teamed up with Whiskey Myers for a face-melting cover of Shooter’s dad, Waylon Jennings’, hit song “Never Could Toe The Mark.” The title track to his 1984 album, it was actually
