It’s a sad, sad day. I woke up this morning with the sun shining through my window and the birds chirping, thinking this was gonna be a great day… Until I realized that Parker McCollum’s 2015 debut album Limestone Kid and his 2017 Probably Wrong album had been completely wiped clean from Spotify… It’s still on Apple Music,

It’s no secret that we all love some Shania Twain. But the internet has found her most loyal fan of all time. Earlier this week, a family revealed that in addition to young girls who grew up with Shania as their background music, a 13-year-old golden retriever named Cooper also grew up loving the queen

Burgeoning singer-songwriter Ian Flanigan has been sober for seven years. His moving track “Devil in My Hands” revisits the complicated mix of emotions he faced at the very beginning of that new path forward. The seasoned musician, songwriter and Season 19 finalist on The Voice is sharing a new live studio recording of the track,

Pistol Annies cover Merle like nobody’s business. Last year, the girl group consisting of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, released their first Christmas album Hell of a Holiday. Though the tracklist featured mostly-original Christmas songs, there were a couple covers on there, including one of the classic Merle Haggard tune “If We Make It Through December.” And

Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton on the Western drama Yellowstone, is officially launching his country music career with his debut song, “No Horse to Ride,” which he released on Friday (Dec. 16). Grimes co-wrote the song with Jonathan Singleton and Tony Lane, and he also provides percussion and acoustic guitar on the track. Dave

Whew, thought I had vertigo for a second. We’re four months removed from Koe Wetzel’s release of his latest kickass album, Hell Paso, and I still can’t stop listening. There’s one common element I find within each album Koe releases, and it’s that they keep getting better with every listen. Songs can take on new meanings, different

Track45 “Family” Rising sibling trio Track45 celebrate the gift of quality friendship in their song “Family.” Penned by group members Jenna, Ben, and KK Johnson alongside Billy Mann, “Family” finds the Mississippi native siblings beaming with gratitude for having family-like friends. As they note in a verse, these bonds stretch far beyond biological ties, state

Jessica Chastain and Miranda Lambert are two ladies after my own heart. Of course, Jessica is an Academy Award winning actress, and is currently playing Tammy Wynette in the new George & Tammy series, alongside Michael Shannon as  George Jones. And she recently chatted with Audacy’s 103.7 KSON San Diego, where she talked about playing

Texas native Donice Morace explores the pain of a relationship’s final moments in his pure country track “Wait Til I’m Gone,” which is exclusively premiering at The Boot today (Dec. 15). The rising talent’s latest single presents the final chapter of romance captured through three songs. Released earlier this year, those two buzzed-about tracks — “One

SAD COUNTRY MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY. And for my money, it doesn’t get much better – or sadder – than Doug Stone‘s “I’d Be Better Off (In a Pine Box).” The heartbreaker was Stone’s debut single from his self-titled album back in 1990, and peaked at #4 on the charts. And damn, it’ll punch you

Caleigh Hardy is calling it like she sees it. Caleigh recently tied the knot with HARDY (whose real name is Michael Hardy), a couple months ago, and she tends to stay out of political arguments and disagreements for the most part on social media. But this time, she’s had enough. And for a little back

I love Christmas music, especially when it’s country artists singing it. All of those classic songs are great. “Jingle Bells,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and all that jazz, but let’s be honest… those songs can be totally overplayed and can get a little boring after a while. That’s why I much prefer the new original

Emerging singer-songwriter Myron Elkins has shared ”Wrong Side of the River,” a new track from his upcoming album Factories, Farms & Amphetamines, set for release on Jan. 13. You may have heard this toe-tapping, banjo-picking tale of small town life on the Dec. 11 episode of Yellowstone. The rollicking tune was inspired by the 21-year-old’s sleepy hometown of Otsego, Mich.,

If 49 Winchester is coming anywhere near you on this Spring tour, don’t miss it… The band just announced a slew of new dates, which includes a return to the Grand Ole Opry, along with making their debut at Stagecoach Music Festival. And they’re actually playing quite a few of the best festivals on the circuit

Man, Tyler Childers knows his way around a cover. Whether he’s strumming some Willie Nelson an acoustic guitar, or full band performances of Kenny Rogers “Tulsa Turnaround,” Charlie Daniels’ “Trudy,” and even the Hank Williams classic, “The Old Country Church,” all of which are regular parts of Childers live set these days. But at Warren

Although it’s been one helluva year for country music in 2022, it’s been a difficult one as well, as we lost Naomi Judd, Loretta Lynn, Jerry Lee Lewis, and a number of others. With that being said, there’s been one country icon who has been taking the losses extremely tough, and it’s no other than

The man never stops. It’s only been a few months since Luke Combs released his killer third album, Growing Up. But he’s already dropping new unreleased tunes on social media. Luke hit us with a brand new acoustic song tonight called “Tattoo On a Sunburn.” And this one is a nostalgic look back at a lost summer

Ya gotta love a good cover. It’s no secret that Flatland Cavalry has been lighting it up over the past couple of years, and are quickly making a name for themselves as one of the best country bands in the game right now. Their saying “easy on the ears, heavy on the heart” rings true,

A little Saturday night Church at the Grand Ole Opry. Tonight was Ashley McBryde‘s big night, being officially inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry by Terri Clark. But Clark wasn’t the only guest that Ashley brought along. After her induction, she surprised the crowd by welcoming out Eric Church to recreate their

I have to say, the first episode of the new Showtime series George & Tammy hooked me immediately. Starring Michael Shannon as George Jones, with Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain as Tammy Wynette, the six-part miniseries chronicles the tumultuous relationship one country music’s most iconic power couples. And right from the get-go we have a drunk Possum flushing money down the
