This oughta give you a good laugh. High school football player, Noah Knigga, has recently been trending in the headlines and going absolutely viral on social media on account of those trying to figure out how to pronounce the athlete’s last name. While the sports world is not something we here at the Chord tend to cover, I’m personally a huge Commanders fan who had the privilege of watching RG3 take the Redskins on a 7-game winning streak to win the NFC East title and secure a wildcard playoff berth in 2012. On top of that, I’m a huge Dave…

That chorus still makes me emotional. On January 9th, 2012, Miranda Lambert released one of her biggest hits to date, “Over You.” Miranda co-wrote the track with her husband at the time, Blake Shelton. It was released as the second single off her fourth studio album, “Four The Record,” and went on to win Song of the Year at the 2012 CMA Awards, as well as at the 2013 ACM Awards. The song was inspired by Blake losing his older brother in a car accident when he was a teenager. Miranda said she ended up recording it because the song…
The Bonnaroo lineup has officially been announced for 2024. With a diverse lineup that’s sure to cater to everyone’s music taste, the Bonnaroo music & arts festival has included some of the hottest rising “independent” acts in country music. The four day event has been a tradition in Manchester, Tennessee since 2002 and will be held this year from June 13th through the 16th at the Great Stage Park. While there are no country acts listed as headliners, Post Malone, who’s recently been dabbling in the genre since his CMA performance with Morgan Wallen and HARDY, will headline on Friday…
It’s been over ten years since we lost one of the most iconic Country artists there ever done was. On April 26th, 2013, George Jones passed away at the age of 81 from hypoxic respiratory failure. Still, the Country music community continues to celebrate his legendary career that produced millions of albums sold, as well as a massive 140 charting singles on the Top 40. Six days after the death of Jones, his funeral was held at the Grand Ole Opry, where George had played at hundreds of times. Fans lined up, as it was open to the public, and…
Now THIS is a cool video to watch. While casually scrolling on Facebook, I came across this old video of Chris Stapleton performing Lonestar’s classic hit, “Amazed,” from WAY before he became the superstar he is today. Amazed is one of many Country songs I grew up on and still love as an adult. Written by Marv Green, Aimee Mayo and Chris Lindsey, the track was released in March of 1999 as the second single from their third studio album “Lonely Grill.” It went on to spend eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country chart, making the power Ballard…
Good news for MM fans. After previously releasing it exclusively to Amazon Music in early October of last year, Megan Moroney’s cover of Chris Stapleton’s “What Are You Listening To?” is now officially available on all streaming platforms. Just last week, CMT posted Megan’s live acoustic video performance of the cover from her Campfire Sessions, featuring performances from four additional tracks released back in July. For folks (including myself) who were wondering why they waited five months to release this cover from the same sessions, well now it makes total sense. Kickin’ off the video with a short introduction, Megan…
