We’ve all been through the frustrating process of buying tickets before. You know, your favorite country singer is coming to a town near you, and you want to do everything you can to go see them play… But the tickets are taken up in 0.3 seconds by scalpers, and next thing you know you’re having

Ben Burgess “Tears the Size of Texas” Hit songwriter and emerging artist Ben Burgess melds authentic western storytelling with traditional country instrumentation on his latest song, “Tears the Size of Texas.” Co-written with Josh Kerr and produced by Joey Moi, the organic, pedal steel-driven tune chronicles the highs and lows of Burgess’ fictional love life. In

The man don’t miss. Charles Wesley Godwin has been at the top of my list ever since the debut of his sophomore album, How The Mighty Fall. Named Whiskey Riff’s #1 album of 2021, here we are in August and I’m still wearing that sucker out. Put it on this past Sunday morning, had my coffee,

I’m typically very against sporting event or concert proposals, but I could probably make an exception for The King. This past weekend, Nick Sutter proposed to his girlfriend Jacquelyn Bladdick during George Strait’s performance of “Check Yes Or No” at his Arrowhead Stadium show. Of course, Jacquelyn “checked yes,” and says the moment was made all

It’s one of the most iconic photos of The Man in Black ever taken. The legendary Johnny Cash deep in the Canadian wilderness wearing dirty jeans, an earth toned jacket, and a black t-shirt. A Bowie knife on his hip, a walkie-talkie in one hand, and a rifle in the other. The picture was reportedly taken

Talk about two of the best to ever do it in country music, paying homage to one of the greatest rock stars of all time. George Strait and Chris Stapleton teamed up for a concert in Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Not

Man, I’m not gonna lie… one of my first musical memories is popping in a Hootie & The Blowfish cassette tape of Cracked Rear View, picking up this toy guitar, and pretending I was a rockstar in my bedroom. I had to be about five years old, Hootie & the Blowfish was at the top of

Happy Monday, y’all. Today for the Song of the Week, we have a tune called “First Thing I Reach For” by the great Ashley McBryde. From her 2020 fourth studio Never Will, “First Thing” is a deep cut from the tracklist that was written by Ashley along with Randall Clay and Mick Holland. She details the

Lexington Kentucky’s Red Barn Radio is VERY well known for their ability to spot up-and-coming artists with bright futures and give them a platform to perform and share their music and stories. I suppose it also helps when some of the best in the business come out of Kentucky… Tyler Childers’ performance from 2016 is

Love him or hate him, Luke Bryan seems like one of the most genuinely nice dudes in country music. And at a recent show, he took time to help two boys honor their late dad onstage. Video from the show in Hartford, Connecticut this weekend shows Luke walking to the edge of the stage and

I’ll be honest, I didn’t see this one coming, but I’m sure not complaining. Up-and-coming Texas country rocker Austin Upchurch and his band teamed up with early 2000s pop-punk outfit Bowling for Soup to deliver an angst-filled rendition of their 2004 hit “Almost,” and hit streaming platforms this past Friday. Originally released on the Wichita

I’m kinda digging this budding bromance between Brad Paisley and Post Malone. Of course, it all began with Matthew McConaughey’s “We’re Texas” virtual benefit concert last year, which aimed to raise funds for the state of Texas after that brutal snowstorm left parts of the state without water, heat, electricity. Featuring the like of famous

Talk about paying homage to a country music living legend. Earlier this year, it was announced that a John Anderson tribute album was in the works, titled Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute To John Anderson, and would feature the likes of Brothers Osborne, Tyler Childers, Eric Church, Brent Cobb, Luke Combs, Sierra Ferrell, Sierra Hull,

Could it be? Who could forget Post Malone’s incredible country covers at Matthew McConaughey’s “We’re Texas” virtual benefit concert last year, which featured performances of Sturgill Simpson’s “You Can Have the Crown,” and Brad Paisley’s “I’m Gonna Miss Her.” Every country music fan on this planet was shocked at Posty’s versatility, along with the fact

Dierks Bentley is previewing his forthcoming tenth studio album with a hit-ready and feel-good new single, “Gold.” For this song, Bentley teamed up with hit songwriters and frequent collaborators Ashley Gorley, Luke Dick and Ross Copperman to create a life anthem that perfectly melds heart-on-sleeve lyrical candor with an infectiously jaunty melody. In the verses, the singer laments

So, I recently moved into a new apartment with a big window in my room and a screened in balcony. Now, neither of those things really sound like a porch, but for the last three years, I’ve lived in a dorm in which my only window was to a hallway where lots of people would

It looks like Sam Hunt won’t be making the trip to the Great White North this year. He just announced that he’s canceling his headlining appearance next Friday at the Boots & Hearts Music Festival that takes place in Burl’s Creek in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. Sam’s team issued a statement on Twitter regarding his cancellation, saying

AC/DC like you’ve never heard it before. Back in 2017, on the final night of Chris’ All-America Road Show Tour, Chris brought Brent Cobb to the stage for a tribute performance of “You Shook Me All Night Long” in honor of AC/DC guitar player and founding member Malcolm Young. Malcolm passed away in November of

Today has been a big day for fans of the Randy Rogers Band. The band’s latest single “Nothing But Love Songs” just hit streaming platforms today, and now they have followed that up with the announcement of their next album Homecoming. The band’s ninth album, and first since 2019’s Hellbent, Homecoming is set to be
