Garth Brooks has been making a ton of news headlines in the Country music world lately. From calling people “a**holes” that wouldn’t want to go to his Nashville bar due to him selling Bud Light, to announcing his own radio network on Tunein Radio after the end of his six year run on Sirius XM. (Oh, and don’t forget the return of his weird alter-ego Chris Gaines). Well amidst all the controversy, one thing that has seemed to go over-looked (mostly because it’s not being shown in the clips posted online) is his take on Country radio when he sat…

One of the most underrated voices in all of Country music… Back in 2016, Justin Moore was taking requests on Twitter (something he did often back then), by using the hashtag #JustinSingsTweets while hangin’ out on his tour bus. In the first of many “parts,” Justin took on the request to sing Shania Twain’s 1997 iconic hit “Man! I Feel Like A Woman.” The song was written by Shania, along with her then-husband, Robert John Lange, and featured on her third studio album, “Come On Over.” It won Best Female Vocal Country Performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards but strangely…
Might be lowkey (cannot believe I just said that) one of the greatest things to ever happen in Country music. Back in 2018 (for whatever reason) Kentucky boys Wheeler Walker Jr., Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson all shared the stage together at Hinterland Music Festival to perform Wheeler’s most romantic song to date; “Sit On My Face.” Wheeler Walker Jr., which is the name for Ben Hoffman’s alter-ago (sorry to whomever I just ruined that for) is responsible for a number of funny and bawdy Country songs over the years. While not heard on mainstream radio (gee, I wonder why)…
Yesterday, Riley Green released a Vevo exclusive acoustic video performance of his current single at Country radio, “Different ‘Round Here.” As most of you may know, Riley originally released the song back in 2019 and recently teamed up with Luke Combs for a re-imagined collaboration that was sent to Country radio last month. Green doesn’t have the biggest set of pipes in the genre, and I’m sure he knows that. However, what he does well, is exactly what you see in this video…telling a story with his signature, charismatic tone and guitar. Check out the new acoustic performance video here:
It’s only been a couple months since Bailey Zimmerman released his debut album, Religiously, featuring hits such as “Rock and A Hard Place,” and “Where It Ends,” but that hasn’t stopped him from already going on his first headlining tour. In 2024, Bailey will bring along Josh Ross for 22 dates kickin’ off in Los Angeles on February 1st. Named after his album, which broke the record for the most streamed debut Country album of all time, tickets for “Religiously: The Tour” go on pre-sale this Wednesday.

35 years later and STILL goes hard. On June 12th, 1988, Randy Travis was sitting at No. 1 on the U.S. Country charts with “I Told You So,” from his second studio album, Always & Forever.” Written by Travis alone, the story behind the song surrounds itself with a hypothetical question, asking how his woman would react if he said he still loved her and wanted her to come home. In 2007, Carrie Underwood covered the song and absolutely blew it out of the park because… I mean, what else would you expect from Carrie Underwood? The two later recorded…
