At this point, Koe Wetzel shouldn’t need an introduction. He’s country music’s rockstar, he’s grunge rock’s redneck… and some may even say he’s the Post Malone of the non-mainstream Texas music scene. While all have some truth in them, he’s really just his own animal… and that’s why everyone loves him. With four albums and

Luke Combs is already putting that Entertainer of the Year title to work. Announced this past week, Luke Combs is going to be hitting the road on a run of NFL stadium shows with an absolutely phenomenal lineup including Cody Johnson, Zach Bryan, and Morgan Wade. If you want to talk about the future, I

I love me a good murder ballad. We recently took a look at some of the all-time great murder ballads, everything from Johnny Cash’s “Long Black Veil” to Ashley McBryde’s “Martha Divine.” And after the release of his second album, How The Mighty Fall, it’s time to add Charles Wesley Godwin’s “Cranes of Potter” to the

Jason Aldean released his 10th studio album, Macon, today. It’s actually the first piece of a double album called Macon, Georgia, and the second half will be released in April of 2022. The 15-song tracklist for this first record includes five live versions of some of previously released work, his #1 duet with Carrie Underwood

The day has finally come. We’ve been anticipating Caned By Nod’s debut album, None The Wiser, for quite some now. And finally, Mr. Cody Jinks himself has delivered. We’ve had a few singles released to give us an idea on what this new project would look like, and needless to say, it lived up to

Thank the good Lord, at least a few artists brought some actual country music to the CMA Awards last night. Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde sang their current single “Never Wanted To Be That Girl”, and of course, it was stellar. They’re two of the best vocalists in the game right now, and Carly even took

“A Veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life.” On Veteran’s Day, everybody takes time to do something we should do every day: Honor and give thanks to the brave men and women

Hard to think of another country music career that took off faster than Luke Combs. His debut single was released back in 2016, and it quickly became his first number one. And EVERY SINGLE HE’S RELEASED SINCE – 11 straight – have been number ones for Luke (except for his latest, “Cold As You,” which

I’ve been on a real Lukas Nelson kick here lately. I’ve always been a fan of his, but lately, I haven’t been able to listen to much else other than his records on a repetitive loop. I need to do a more in-depth post on the awesome stuff he has with his band, Promise of

It’s hard to find an artist on the planet who can cover a southern rock song like Kip Moore does. I saw him at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina, this past Saturday at a stop on his How High tour, where he covered Marshall Tucker Band’s iconic 70’s tune “Can’t You See” and brought

The coal miner’s daughter is an absolute legend. And, we’ve been taking a look back at some of the greatest and most legendary moments in CMA Awards history ahead of the show tomorrow, like Alan and George calling out pop country with a performance of “Murder On Music Row”, Kellie Pickler’s emotional performance of “I Wonder”,

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ryan Culwell longs for a fresh start in his powerful new single “Let’s Go Crazy,” premiering exclusively on The Boot. The expertly-penned track finds the Texas native examining the world through the eyes of a protective parent and worried husband, ready to risk it all to give his loved ones a simpler and more content

Logan Mize is putting together quite the ending to 2021. The man is coming off his fifth career studio album, Welcome to Prairieville, an album based off a fictional town, with songs that he’s written based off his own personal experiences. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you better get on it. Mize discussed

I’ve often dreamed about kicking back in Colorado, watching the sun rset over the Rocky mountains, with an ice cold beer in my hand, listening to some good ol’ country music. I mean, it doesn’t get better than that, right? And while I suppose the sun will being rising over the Rockies here, but I

Yellowstone is BACK… and all is right in the world. A fantastic cast, great storytelling, beautiful scenery… there’s a lot of reasons to watch Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, but the one that hooked me first? The music. The show obviously stars the very talented Ryan Bingham, and his music is featured pretty heavily, but Taylor Sheridan and

Country music and drugs/alcohol go together like cocaine and waffles. At any given moment you can flip on country radio and hear a song about crushing beers with the boys, drowning your sorrows in a bottle of whiskey, and these days, even blowing a little smoke. And country music also has no shortage of those

Aaron Rodgers has been the talk of the sports world since he tested positive for Covid-19 earlier this week. It was reported that he tested positive, and since he is unvaccinated, according to NFL protocol, he has to miss a minimum of 10 days which includes this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. While

Zach Bryan is a man of the people. From the time his grainy, sweaty, off the cuff videos first went viral in 2019, something about him has resonated with so many fans of real country music. He was recently honorably discharged from active-duty in the U.S. Navy to pursue music full-time, which includes his first official

Singing on the Grand Ole Opry stage with his mama. Dillon Carmichael‘s latest single, “Son of A,” is a tribute to all of those parents out there who give a damn – the ones who show tough love, and have probably pulled the “As long as you’re living under my roof…” card a few times,

Adam Shoenfeld was 14 years old when he wrote his first song. “The title of the song was actually inspired by my girlfriend at the time,” the accomplished Nashville guitarist chuckles during a recent interview with The Boot. “I have come to realize that the songs that are more true to my heart are easier
