Who doesn’t love a Charlie Daniels Band’s cover? Famously known for “The Devil Went Down To Georiga,” The Charlie Daniels Band has produced quality country rock music for decades. One of my all-time favorites from them is “Long Haired Country Boy.” The single was released in 1974 on their album Fire On The Mountain and

Shots fired. Riding high off that upset victory over Texas A&M University last weekend, College GameDay made their way to Boone, North Carolina, for this Saturday’s action as the Mountaineers take on the Troy Trojans. And they brought in country music star and App State alum, Luke Combs, to make some guest picks. When it

Reba’s bringing the Christmas spirit a little early this year. She just announced a new project, Reba: The Ultimate Christmas Collection, which will consist of a collection of some of her favorite Christas songs she’s ever put out. It will also include a newer tune called “I Needed Christmas,” from the Lifetime movie Reba McEntire’s Christmas In

Von Miller has been known for cracking skulls in the NFL, and he’s been doing it for over a decade. The Buffalo Bills linebacker has been one of the best linebackers in the league for practically his whole career, and he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down anytime soon. However, little did we know

North Carolina-based duo Violet Bell (Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez) are preparing their most ambitious project to date. Due out on Oct. 7, the duo’s upcoming album Shapeshifter retells the story of the selkie, a mythical creature found in many Celtic and Norse folktales. In the tale, a fisherman steals the skin of a selfie, who can shift between human

Billy Strings has reached yet another milestone. The bluegrass sensation landed his first ever Artist of the Year award at this year’s Americana Music Association Honors & Awards last night at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Kane Brown “Devil Don’t Even Bother” Kane Brown just released his brand new album Different Man, and one of the record’s highlights is “Devil Don’t Even Bother.” The song deftly combines a bitter country breakup song with the age-old Little Red Riding Hood story. Here, a scorned ex compares his’ cruel Tennessee old flame to the malicious

Cody Johnson’s done did it again. We all know CoJo as one of the best acts in all of mainstream country music, and is one of the few keeping that traditional country sound alive and well on country music radio. But also, the man can cover the ever livin’ hell out of a song as

I already know Lainey Wilson is going to bring it as a cast member on Yellowstone. She’s one of the newest cast members of Season 5 of the hit Paramount series, and at the ACM Honors recently, she broke out an oldie called “Workin’ Overtime.” The song was originally featured on her 2018 self-titled EP. Lainey

Thank the Lord… A duet featuring Kip Moore and Morgan Wade IS on the way. Kip posted a photo of Morgan in the studio with the caption: “Y’all asked for it…” And all is right in the world again. In August, they had fans in a frenzy, as they hinted that a collaboration was on

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson has announced an ambitious new project that’s centered around a Shakespearian tragedy. Set for release on Oct. 28 via Oh Boy Records, Robinson’s upcoming album Built on Bones acts as a modern musical adaptation of Macbeth. The play tells the story of a Scottish general whose life takes a dark turn after encountering three witches. The trio

Stay classy Mr. Childers From what I can tell, Tyler Childers is good people. He strikes me as a kind and compassionate, down to Earth dude from Kentucky who cares deeply about the people from his home state, especially those who have fallen on hard times… whatever that hard time may be. And he just

Angel Olsen and Sturgill Simpson have released a new duet version of “Big Time,” the title track from Olsen’s acclaimed 2022 solo album. “I love his voice,” says Olsen of Simpson in the song’s tongue-in-cheek lyric video, which you can watch below: “Big Time” relishes the domestic bliss of a loving relationship, rich with imagery of looking into a

This just works. I never knew I needed a country-fied take on the late, great Whitney Houston’s mega hit “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” but I love everything about this. Jon Pardi recently put his own spin on her hit single for a feature on CMT Campfire Sessions, which he appeared on

Seven months after the release of his last studio album, Blue in the Sky, Dustin Lynch returns with a sizzling stand-alone song that trades in warm weather jams like his current single — “Party Mode” — for something a little more seasonally appropriate.

Busted. According to WHNT, Teddy Gentry, bass player and founding member of the country music group, Alabama, was arrested on Monday in Cherokee County, Alabama. The 70 year old country music star was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Pretty hard to believe we’re still locking people up for a bag of weed

Randy Houser is giving fans another taste of this upcoming sixth studio album, Note to Self. The project is due to arrive on Nov. 11, but the singer has released another offering from it with “Rub a Little Dirt on It.” The simple track is a gentle reminder that although times can get tough, they are

Talk about a duo I never knew I needed… Slade Coulter and Ashland Craft just announced a new tune called “Lesson I Ain’t Learned” coming this Thursday. They both shared teasers of the new tune over on Instagram, and it already sounds like a simple, good old fashioned country heartbreaker: ‘”Lesson I Ain’t Learned’ with @sladecoulter
