It’s a CoJo Christmas… I’m not big on Christmas music too early, but Cody Johnson can sing a Christmas song. — Whiskey Riff (@WhiskeyRiff) November 20, 2021 Granted, I still think you gotta save the Christmas music for after Thanksgiving, but “If We Make It Through December” isn’t technically a Christmas song… right? I mean, it’s

BJ Barham dropped another heartbreaker this morning. He recently announced that his band, American Aquarium, will have a new album out called Chicamacomico in the summer of 2022. The band has been recording at the iconic Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas with Bradley Cook producing, and the whole effort has been 100% crowd funded. BJ previously

Nothing beats another batch of tunes from Yellowstone. By now, it’s no secret that Yellowstone has done a phenomenal job of showcasing some of the best that country music has to offer. And we’re not talking about the Dan + Shays of the world. We’re talking about real deal country music… the kind of indie artists

Luke Combs is absolutely unstoppable. He just scored his 12th #1 at country radio on the Mediabase country chart this week. That makes it his 12th career #1 single… IN A ROW, and twelve for twelve all time. He’s batting 1.000 in #1 singles. We called it months ago, but honestly, predicting a Luke Combs

The end of 2021 is in sight, and thankfully, it has been a whole lot better than 2020 was. Now that bands are able to tour again, more albums and singles have been released, making this year a great one for new music. If you’re not keeping up with what is coming out weekly, then

I think it’s hard to overstate the impact that Eric Church has had, and will have, on an entire generation of country artists. During his sold-out stadium show at his alma mater, Appalachian State, Luke Combs talked about how it was a friend walking into his dorm room and inviting him to an Eric Church

First and foremost, Kenny Rogers was the man. Back in the day, there was no one that could compete in the coolness category with him. The beard, the voice, the suave album covers, I mean the guy was in a league of his own. Just look at this man. Well, on this day in 1979,

Wade Bowen released his much anticipated EP today and it’s as great as we could have wanted. The whole project has a down home feel with the focus heavily on the lyrics and meaning behind the songs. Not that we would expect anything different from Wade, but man is it nice to hear some good

Get ready to see Adele climbing up the country charts – with some help from Chris Stapleton. The powerhouse duo released their duet version of Adele’s hit, “Easy On Me,” and it’s immediately being sent to country radio. The collab with Stapleton is from the deluxe version of Adele’s new album, 30, which just dropped.

Riley Green had himself a week. When the man ain’t meltin’ faces (and hearts) from up on the stage, you can find him at his second home… The woods. And boy, did he bag himself a buck this week. In the midst of the rut, Riley caught this horned up big boy chasing does, and

Sam Morrow brings a soulful blend of country, funk, blues and rock in his latest single “This Town.” The brand-new song is premiering exclusively with The Boot; press play below to listen. The Texas singer-songwriter’s rich vocals sit atop an irresistibly groovy live percussion loop, building into a groovy, atmospheric soundscape. The track builds off of the innovative sound

Remember when ol’ Bocephus said in his song “A Country Boy Can Survive…” “My grandpa taught me how to live off the land” and: “we can skin a buck, and run a trot line” Well, he sure as hell wasn’t lying. Because Hank Williams Jr. recently bagged himself a big ol’ cow elk from 300

If there’s one 90’s country song I will never, ever get tired if hearing, it has to be Deana Carter’s timeless hit “Strawberry Wine.” And, she recently re-released her iconic album Did I Shave My Legs For This? as a special 25th anniversary project with remastered versions of all the tracks, as well as a

Rainbow Girls “Santa Anna” San Francisco trio Rainbow Girls (Erin Chapin, Caitlin Gowdey, Vanessa May) make an offering to Mother Nature in “Santa Anna,” a track named for the windy weather phenomenon that affects California each autumn. The soft, string-laced folk track, perfect for fans of Phoebe Bridgers and John Craigie, also asks humanity to respond to

Imagine you’re a massive artist gearing up for a brand new 50-some date tour, walking into rehearsals and seeing your brand new stage for the first time – a stage that took months to build and design – and realizing that you hate it. That was exactly the problem that Eric Church found himself faced

ALWAYS a fun time chatting with Naomi, Natalie and Jennifer. Runaway June joins the podcast to discuss their epic “Catfight” prank on Luke Bryan, creepy DMs, their new Backstory EP, choosing the right single for radio, Natalie Stovall’s dynamic addition to the band, hangover cures, pressure to conform to trends, the out-of-touch people in power

One of my favorite phrases in the English language… “Ryan Bingham acoustic.” I mean, it’s one of my favorite phrases in any language, but English is really the only one I know. Some conversational Spanish, and select cuss words in a handful of other languages, but that’s about as far as my piss-poor small town

Brent Cobb’s already announced some big things coming his way here soon, as he’s gearing up to release his first gospel album, And Now, Let’s Turn To Page…, dropping January 28th. However, that’s not the only big thing he has instore coming up. The singer/songwriter has announced his headlining 2022 “When It’s My Time Tour,” slated to
