Surprise. Tonight, Eric Church took the stage with his good buddy Morgan Wallen for a surprise performance of “Man Made A Bar.” The song, written by Brett Tyler, Jordan Dozzi, Larry Fleet and Rocky Block, is featured on Wallen’s latest studio album, “One Thing At A Time,” and is, in my opinion, one of the most solid tracks on the massive 36-song record. Wallen is also expected to perform a “country classic medley” with HARDY and Post Malone and is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, an honor Eric Church won back in 2020. On top of the EOTY nod,…

Good news for Turnpike fans and Apple Music users. Today, the Turnpike Troubadours surprise dropped the Nashville Sessions, featuring three total tracks, exclusively to Apple Music. The sessions include a new rendition of the popular “Good Lord Lorrie,” as well as “Mean Old Sun” from the band’s most recent album, A Cat In The Rain, and a cover of John Prine’s “Paradise.” While the arrangement and production on the new renditions of their previous cuts doesn’t necessarily offer anything new, the John Prine cover is clearly what stands out here. Written solely by Prine, Paradise was released on his self-titled…
Post Malone is once again flirting with Country music. Aside from the big news that Post Malone (whose real name is Austin Richard Post) will be performing a medley of old country hits alongside Morgan Wallen and HARDY at the 2023 CMA Awards tomorrow night, he has also been in the studio with some of the biggest names and songwriters the genre has to offer. In a recent Instagram post from James McNair, the two are pictured side by side with a caption that reads: “Figured this one was worth a post! Magical day of creating with these boys!” Aside…
‘Bout to be one helluva summer. Today, Kenny Chesney officially announced he’s hittin’ the road next year on the “Sun Goes Down” tour. Kickin’ off in Tampa, Florida at the Raymond James Stadium on April 20th, the tour will run all the way through August and feature Megan Moroney, Zac Brown Band and Uncle Kracker. Given the name of the tour and their duet from back in 2004, it only seems fitting to have Uncle Kracker be apart the supporting cast. “When The Sun Goes Down,” written by Brett James, spent five weeks at #1 and was one of the…
