A live version of “Should’ve Known Better” is the latest content from Carly Pearce’s “Live From Music City” edition of her third studio album “29: Written In Stone.” The song joins live versions of “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” the duet recorded with Ashley McBryde, and RIAA-certified gold single “What He Didn’t Do,” along with the rest of the album’s OG track-list. The re-release of “29: Written In Stone,” comes almost two years after it first became available for streaming, back in September 2021. Named “Album of The Year” at the 2021 CMA Awards, the 15-track record helped earn…

As an independent artist until 2019, Randall King is no stranger to hard work. He self-released both his 2016 EP & 2018 album before singing with his current label in 2019. King then released the album “Shot Glass” in March 2022. This groundbreaking record included “Hey Cowgirl” and “You In A Honky Tonk,” now King’s top-streamed single across all platforms, with over 17 million streams on Spotify alone. King’s vocals and songwriting remind me a lot of The King himself, fellow Texas-native George Strait. Before any of y’all come for me – I know it’s ambitious to compare any of today’s…
Right on the heels of today’s release of “Religiously,” Bailey Zimmerman took to Instagram to announce his full-length debut album coming May 12th. In less than 2.5 years, breakout country star Bailey Zimmerman has seen an insane amount of success. He’s racked up over a billion streams on Spotify and already has two Platinum singles, “Fall in Love” and “Rock And A Hard Place.” Additionally, he was named as Billboard’s #4 “Top New Artist Overall” and declared one of the “Top New Country Artists” of 2022, coming in hot to snag second on the list, outranked only by Zach Bryan.…
On March 15, 2005, up-and-coming country songwriter Miranda Lambert released her very first record, titled “Kerosene.” Considering this was her first major release, “Kerosene” did incredibly well. The record was Miranda’s first big “win” after earning third place on the singing competition TV show, “Nashville Star” the year prior, and it was a massive stepping stone for this Texas-born artist. The 12-track record featured 11 songs Miranda wrote (or contributed to writing) herself, including the title-track & most successful of the 12, “Kerosene.” Shortly after dropping the album, Miranda Lambert received multiple CMA, ACM and Grammy nominations, and “Kerosene” soared…
“Man, how lucky do you have to be to find a 5 Leaf Clover?” Luke wrote in his message to fans over the weekend. I can name a ton of artists who stay quiet about release dates and taunt fans for MONTHS on end (Lookin’ at you, Warren Zeiders) but Luke Combs isn’t one of ’em. Luke has always been transparent about his music and when it’s coming out. He’s been especially open about it recently, as the release date of his fourth studio record, “Gettin’ Old,” quickly approaches. It’s been a few weeks since the “5 Leaf Clover” news…
Ian Munsick is another artist shaping up to have a hell of a year. Munsick, born and raised in Wyoming, brings a uniquely western sound to the table that sets him apart from the artists of country radio today. His music had gone pretty undetected until a couple of years ago, until he released his first album, “Coyote Cry.” He then recorded “Long Live Cowgirls” in collaboration with Cody Johnson, and has seen a steady increase in followers since then. His second studio album, “White Buffalo,” drops in just under a month, and I can tell it’s about to be…
