Lainey Wilson took the stage on Yellowstone on Sunday night (Nov. 20) to perform in character during Episode 3 of Season 5, and she treated fans to a brand new song they’ve never heard before. Wilson joins Season 5 of Yellowstone as a musician named Abby, who will reportedly become friendly with Beth Dutton (Kelly

A few weeks back, we here at Whiskey Riff made a little trip to Greenville, South Carolina for the Greenville Country Music Fest. While we were there, I had the privilege of interviewing Larry Fleet, and talk about everything from his music, like his latest album studio album Stack of Records, collaborations he’s done, what

I think we are seeing new music on the horizon from Sierra Ferrell, and I’m pumped. On Ferrell’s most recent tour stint in Australia, she debuted a new song to the crowd titled “I Can Drive You Crazy.” The tune is very folk heavy and has a very different sound than her debut album, Long Time

Randy Rogers Band is back with a music video for “Fast Car,” the latest single from their ninth studio album, Homecoming, which was released in October. The track is a driving ballad about the first encounter between two people that have never met and all of the assumptions the narrator makes about a potential new love interest.

Is it summer yet? Parker McCollum announced today that he is extending his tour and building a ‘Summer Tour’ schedule to follow up the ‘Spring Tour’ dates he posted earlier this month. He will also be bringing along some fellow Texas country acts including the legendary Randy Rogers Band, as well as Flatland Cavalry. The

Yellowstone is BACK. Yellowstone was back tonight with a brand new episode titled “Tall Drink Of Water,” and if that line didn’t set off an absolute firestorm. This week’s episode found the bunkhouse crew, as well as Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), out on the town and that bar just so happened to feature Lainey Wilson’s

Well…. this tour looks just awful. Friends, beer, music and fun… that’s what it is like being on tour with Jon Pardi. CMT took some behind the scene footage of life on the road with Pardi during his stop in Boston for his Ain’t Always the Cowboy Tour with Lainey Wilson and Hailey Whitters. Jon

Two of the most underrated artists in country music are hitting the road together this December, and it’ll be a must-see for anyone lucky enough to be nearby. In a move reminiscent of Koe Wetzel and Parker McCollum’s legendary “Naughty or Nice” Christmas tours from a few years back, up and comers Drayton Farley and

Toby Keith ain’t ready to hang it up just yet. Of course, the country music star recently underwent treatment for stomach cancer, taking on six months of various treatments including a combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Back in June, he told fans that he’s looking forward to “recovering and relaxing” with his family, and

Cue the meme… The hottest thing in country music, hell maybe all of music, took to Twitter today to share a clip of an unreleased song that if history repeats itself, will most likely be seemingly randomly released on streaming platforms at some random midnight coming soon… He had floated some of these lyrics in

Billy Strings has a fantastic new record out today. The bluegrass phenom has exploded in popularity over the last year or two, for his insane pickin’ ability and incredible stage presence. He’s even shared the stage with the likes of Post Malone, and also collaborated with Dierks Bentley on another song out today, “High Note.”

I ain’t never heard a Kip Moore cover I didn’t like. And today, we have a new one from the Georgia native of the Rolling Stones’”Honky Tonk Women,” which Kip sang last night at The Grizzly Rose in Denver, Colorado. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards while on vacation in Brazil, the song was originally released

Marty Stuart is back with his first new single since the release of his acclaimed 2017 record Way Out West. Released today (Nov. 17), “Country Star” is a groovy, high-energy boot stomper with all the elements of an instant classic. Accompanied by veteran musicians Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson and Chris Scruggs — better known as His

Not only that, but tons of tickets are now being resold for thousands and thousands of dollars on secondary markets like StubHub, VividSeats, TickPick, etc, because scalpers across the country unfortunately got ahold of them first. In some cases, we’re talking about tens of thousands of dollars, if you want a somewhat decent seat and

Yellowstone is BACK. The hit series’ fifth season premiered this past Sunday, so we’re already finding out what happens next with the Dutton’s and their ranch. John is the Governor of Montana, Beth has Jamie under her thumb, Carter is a full grown man, we got some dead wolves… a lot is going on. While

Old Crow Medicine Show’s rocking new holiday tune pays tribute to the band’s adopted hometown. Released today (Nov. 16), “Trim This Tree” blends elements of guitar-driven rock with samples of classic holiday favorites and Music City-centered lyrical imagery. From AirBNBs to pedal taverns, the band pays homage to familiar sights and scenes captured across the city.

Humble folk barely scratches the surface… these guys are gentlemen. The boys from Flatland Cavalry were gracious enough to share some of their time with us at Greenville Country Music Fest to answer some questions and man was it a good time. The conversation ran from the meaning of some songs, to beer or whiskey,

Randy Houser just released his sixth studio album Note to Self, and it’s… DAMN good. I was admittedly a bit skeptical about it being able to top Magnolia, one of my favorite albums, but Note to Self is fantastic in its own right. For me, the standout song though is “Call Me.” It’s angsty as all

Last night, Charley Crockett checked off an item on every country musicians bucket list, headlining the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. He had performed as an opening act previously, but this was a big step up for the San Benito, Texas native, especially considering he had previously taken quite the stance against the industry

Well, this is precious. Over on Twitter earlier, a fan tweeted a photo to Zach Bryan of a letter written by a young elementary school-age girl named Josslyn. Apparently, Josslyn’s parents shared a photo of this hand-written letter on a Zach Bryan Facebook fan page, which she wrote as a “thank you” note to her favorite
