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.

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:

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…
What a time to be alive. Growing up, I had tons of Walmart and magazine posters underneath Christmas lights on the cheap walls of my double-wide bedroom. From Brooks & Dunn and Eminem, to Three Doors Down and Good Charlotte. But the one I held most dear was none other than Avril Lavigne. Sure, my music taste has changed drastically since I was a kid but old Avril Lavigne never, and I mean NEVER, gets old. So seeing Miranda Lambert, one of the best Country music acts of our lifetime, bring out Avril Lavigne, who was just 17 years old…
Zach Bryan’s “American Heartbreak” album, which was released just over one year ago, has now sold over one million units, earning himself a platinum certification from the RIAA. On top of that, Bryan’s massive hit and current single at Country radio, “Something In The Orange,” was also officially certified a massive 4X platinum. Well… as of yesterday, ZB received four additional gold certifications from the RIAA for: A gold cert means an album or single has sold over 500 thousand units, while a platinum cert means it’s sold over a million. Congrats on the continued success, Zach.
