A classic. Today, Craig Morgan released his brand new collaboration EP, “Enlisted,” and the 6 track record includes two brand new songs with Trace Adkins and Luke Combs, as well as four reimagined versions of his older hits featuring some of the biggest names in country music. Craig recently reflected on why he chose to go the route that he did with this EP, despite never wanting to in the past: “I’ve always been kind of against re-recording hits.

Oh yeah, ’cause the resemblance is uncanny… During a recent interview with Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson on the Country Heat Weekly Podcast, Riley Green stopped by to promote his newest sophomore album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo, and also touched on some other entertaining topics, such as how touring with Luke Combs shaped his new record, as well as if he gets mistaken for other people when he goes out in public.

Another one. Last month, Charles Wesley Godwin released his first major-label debut album, “Family Ties.” Coming in at a hefty 19-tracks with an over an hour runtime, the record features some of Godwin’s best music to date. While my opinions have shifted with multiple listens, one track that I still just absolutely love is “Another Leaf.” A solo write by Godwin, the song has a certain spark that begs you to roll the window and bask in the musicianship present on the track. The tempo changes, the incredibly melodic chorus and the final breakdown in the latter half of the…
At this point in time, we are probably all aware of the controversy that surrounded Jason Aldean’s latest single, “Try That In A Small Town.” The song, which Jason says refers to a “feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief, sure ruffled some feathers on its climb to becoming his first #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.
