Two country music legends, one legendary country music song. Throughout the entire history of country music, there are few songs as iconic as “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” Penned by the great singer/songwriter and Highwaymen member, Kris Kristofferson, “Sunday Morning Coming Down” was originally released in 1969 by Ray Stevens. It was then released by Johnny

When you’re a country music superstar, you’ve gotta keep those vocal cords in peak condition. And sure, that includes doing things like drinking plenty of water, not smoking, giving your voice a rest when you need to. But if you’re going to be out on stage singing in front of an arena for an hour

Ya gotta respect the classics. My generation looks at artists like Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Randy Travis, and the other legends of ’90s as the heroes that inspired our love of country music. However, our heroes from the ’90s were inspired by the likes of Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton,

SOLD. Back in August, Kenny Chesney listed his Italian-style hilltop mansion, located in Franklin, Tennessee, on the market for a cool $14 million. in the back pocket, you just might be able to buy a country star’s former mansion. At the time, the 56-acre home was the most expensive listing in Franklin. Dubbed Bella Luce,

January 1st… New Year’s Day. An important day in the history of country music as it was the day of Hank Williams tragic “last ride.” Yes, January 1st, 1953, the country music world said goodbye to a pioneer, the great Hank Williams, at just 29 years of age. However, just a few years later, on that

DAMN. Miley Cyrus and Brandi Carlile make one hell of a pair. They performed together on Miley’s New Year’s Eve last night and those two can SING. I don’t think I was expecting to enjoy them as a duo as much as I did, especially because performances on these types of New Year’s Eve shows tend to

THIS is the kind of thing I want to see as we ring in the New Year. If there’s a better way to start 2022 than hearing Lukas Nelson sing a little Luke Combs, I don’t know what it is. Lukas posted a video of himself doing a little acoustic performance of Luke’s current single, “Doin’ This”, and

It’s New Year’s Eve weekend. With the work day already winding down, and some of you not even working at all, we’re staring down a real good time for the next few days. A little Friday happy hour oughta kick things off the right way, a couple lunch beers, or if you’re like us here

Canadian country artist Ryan Lindsay and New York folk artist Lizzie No have teamed up for a breathtaking version of Lindsay’s powerful tune “You, Me and the Mountains.” The live, off the floor version and its accompanying music video are premiering exclusively on The Boot; press play below to listen. The raw, intimate performance was recorded in Orange Lounge

You already know the music on Yellowstone is the best soundtrack of any show… ever. And one of my favorite up and coming artists in Nashville at the moment, Lainey Wilson, has already had three of her songs featured throughout the hit series so far. Tracks like “Small Town, Girl,” “Straight Up Sideways,” and “Workin’ Overtime”

Since the early ’80s, the iconic country music venue in Fort Worth, Texas, the great Billy Bob’s, has brought in legends like George Jones, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, and continues to be a part of country music history with some really cool moments in 2021 that included Miranda Lambert and Hank Williams, Jr. The

Two of the best voices in country music on one incredible song? Sign me up. Way back in 2006, a couple Carolina boys, Randy Travis and Josh Turner, got together for a performance of Josh’s hit “Your Man,” and hell if it isn’t just perfection. Seriously though, they really are two of the most distinctive

Sturgill Simpson has always eluded to the fact that he only planned on making five albums, all inspired by different emotions we feel throughout certain seasons of life. Before he went ghost on social media, he posted on Instagram a few years back that his albums would be based around: “The traditional Christian narrative the

There’s a reason why Turnpike Troubadours will go down as one of the best country bands to ever do it. When you combine the incredible songwriting by Evan Felker and R.C. Edwards, the fiddle of Kyle Nix, and the gorgeous steel guitar from Hank Early, it’s a recipe for perfection. And as great as their

For my money, Yellowstone is by far the best show on TV right now. From the gorgeous scenery, to the fierce family ties, the sacrifices and the political conflicts, to the cowboy lifestyle… there’s just so much too it. But the piece that really puts it all together is the music. I mean, come on

There were a lot of great debuts in 2021. Morgan Wade lead the charge with Reckless, Hannah Dasher put out The Half-Record EP and Triston Marez released his self-titled first album just to name a few, but there’s another that didn’t get near the recognition it deserved. Back in August, Sierra Ferrell released her debut label album titled

As promised… Every year, when it’s time for our annual Albums of the Year list to come out, we always like to include a playlist to go with it. After all, what good is a list of albums if you can’t listen to the music on the list, right? So once again this year, we

Yellowstone BROUGHT IT this week. After what was a relatively light episode (just two songs) last week, Taylor Sheridan and music supervisor Andrea von Foerster more than made up for it tonight. We have six new tunes to add to the to our league leading Yellowstone: The Soundtrack playlist, a must-follow for anyone that loves the
