Back in 2011, Luke Bryan dropped one of the most popular albums of the year (and arguably his biggest album to date) “Tailgates and Tanlines.” One of the singles that was played everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE, was Luke’s “Country Girl (Shake It For Me). Jason Aldean had entered the Country music scene a few years earlier so at that point, Luke was one of the openers for Aldean on the “My Kinda Party” tour and in 2012 and I remember having to pick up a few extra shifts at the Food Lion just to be able to afford lawn…

Back in November of last year, Alan Jackson was presented with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 56th CMA Awards. Before accepting the award, Lainey Wilson, Dierks Bentley, Carrie Underwood and Jon Pardi all shared the stage together to pay tribute to Alan by performing some of his biggest hits. While it wasn’t a full performance, Jon Pardi absolutely killed my favorite AJ song, “Drive” and the audience seemed to be into the entire thing. Speaking of the two, Jon Pardi was also recently surprised by Alan while performing at Stagecoach to invite him to become the newest…
Justin Moore recently stopped by Fox News to give his unfiltered opinion on the Bible, guns, constitution and how his label didn’t want him to tell the public how he voted. Justin has made it pretty clear over the years that he’s a Republican and in his 2011 album, “Outlaws Like Me,” he tells listeners; “as long as I’m alive and breathing, you won’t take my guns.” A performance of the song was brought up on Fox’ One Nation and Justin, once again, didn’t hold back from sharing his opinions. Watch the video, below.
Mark your calendar. Just last week, Flatland Cavalry announced they had a new song coming out this month at a show in Columbus, Ohio, while celebrating frontman, Cleto Cordero’s 31st birthday. Fast forward to today and the band officially announced the song, “Last American Summer,” will be out everywhere next Friday, June 30th. Flatland Cavalry has recently been out on the road with Luke Combs on his massive stadium tour and the momentum is just gettin’ goin’ for these boys. They are hands down one of my favorite Country acts in the genre right now and have been for some…
Gonna be a good New Music Friday. Today, the Turnpike Troubadours announced they are releasing a brand new song, “Chipping Mill,” this Friday, June 23rd. The song will be the second single off of the bands upcoming album, “A Cat in the Rain.” Early last month, Turnpike released “Mean Old Sun” and the role out of the track was quite a clunky one, first being leaked via TouchTuneson April 15th. At the time, no one knew why or how it was available on the platform. However, the band quickly formally announced the song’s release on Instagram on April 19th. After a six year…
One of the greatest Country albums of the 2010’s. On June 21st, 2011, Justin Moore released his second studio album, “Outlaws Like Me.” Featuring hits such as “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “Bait A Hook” and “Til My Last Day,” this is one of, if not thee, strongest albums Moore has released to date. Moore has one of the most underrated and recognizable voices in all of Country music. If it were up to me, (hot take alert) I’d consider having Justin in my personal Mount Rushmore of Country artists list. Aside from the singles at Country radio, some…
