Wyatt Flores is one of the most exciting young singer-songwriters in the country music scene these days, developing quite the following over the course of the past year in particular. The 22 year old has a specific authenticity that is uncommon in artists of his age, putting out music that really feels honest and representative of his Oklahoma roots. Like many young artists these day, Flores has been known to post cover videos every so often, notably presenting versions of notable tunes from the likes of Jason Isbell, Turnpike Troubadours, and most recently, The Fray.

In 2021, Eric Church released Heart & Soul, a three album project with each collection being named after one of the three words of the title. Each album had their own highs and lows, with the project as a whole being received with mixed reactions from the public. However, most diehard Eric Church fans adore many of the songs featured on the three records nonetheless. Some of the fan-favorites on the project include Heart On fire off of Heart and Hell Of A View off of Soul, which is currently certified 2x platinum and went number one at country radio-…
Back in 2021, Riley Green released his own rendition of Where The Corn Don’t Grow, an underrated Waylon Jennings song that was also given new life by Travis Tritt in 1996. As a younger fan, this song was introduced to me by Riley Green, as I’m sure it did for some others as well.

During a recent appearance on the Bobby Bones Show, Riley gave a rare performance of the classic tune for their “St. Jude Radiothon.” Originally written by Roger Murrah and…

Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and Ernest are arguably the most popular friendship group in country music right now. Their connection stems from shared passion of songwriting, which is ultimately what brought them together. The three friends have spent large parts of the last two years on the road together, with Ernest and HARDY acting as openers for Wallen’s headlining shows on the Dangerous and One Night at a Time tours. Another friend of the famous trio, Jelly Roll, recently discussed this deeply rooted friendship on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast back in December of 2022. He weighs in on the…
On a recent appearance on Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, ERNEST told a wild story of the time he had to call poison control…on himself. ERNEST was sitting alongside Jelly Roll, who was also featured on the podcast. The three laughed hysterically as the Flower Shops singer explained his ridiculous experience. About two years ago, he was getting ready to perform at a venue in Nashville and was feeling a bit sluggish, so he decided to get some caffeine pills at the gas station. Taking them back to the green room, he took the wrong amount of pills and…
