While walking through the crowd during a recent show at the MVP Arena in New York, a fan reached out and grabbed the neck of Zach Bryan’s guitar, prompting him to immediately kick her out. While I’m sure she wasn’t actually trying to steal his guitar, she clearly wasn’t able to hold her composure being that close to him. And hey, I can completely understand being THAT excited, but maybe…gee, I don’t know…try not grabbing the guitar of one of the biggest acts in Country music surrounded by security next time? Zach recently took to Twitter to address the situation:…

In honor of those we lost to the good fight… Four years ago today, Justin Moore performed his hit single “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol at the 15th Annual National Memorial Day Parade and it was POWERFUL. The National Memorial Day Parade is the largest Memorial Day parade in the nation, drawing in more than 250,000 spectators on-site and millions more watching it live on TV. The single, off his 2019 record, Late Nights and Longnecks, honors those who serve(d) in the military, as police officers, fire-fighters, first-responders, teachers…

The start of it all. Reigning ACM Artist Of The Decade, Jason Aldean, officially scored the first No. 1 single of his career on this day 17 years ago with “Why.” Produced by Michael Knox, the same producer Aldean still uses today, the song is very different than anything you’ll find from the 46 year-old’s catalog in recent years. Coming off his 2005 self-titled debut album, “Why” was only Jason’s second single at Country radio, following his rockin’ introduction to mainstream radio, “Hicktown.” Written by John Rich, Rodney Clawson and Vicky McGehee, the song is a mid-tempo love song about…

Morgan Wallen and Lil Durk have once again teamed up for a new collaboration. The duo previously released “Broadway Girls” back in 2021and while it was a huge success, It was clear Morgan carried the rap song, as I thought Lil Durk had some of his weakest verses yet. Morgan’s latest album, “One Thing At A Time,” has been a massive success, making him the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 on the billboard 200 chart this decade, surpassing Taylor Swift. Don’t be confused, “Stand By Me” is clearly not Country and isn’t advertised as so. But Morgan…

Incredible is an understatement. Today, Ella Langley dropped an acoustic performance video on her YouTube account for “Could’ve Been Her,” off her debut EP, “Excuse The Mess.” Ella Langley is one of the hottest up and coming acts in Country music. Not only does Country seem to have a brighter future than years past, the WOMEN in Country are absolutely killing it, lately. Could’ve Been Her, written by Langley, as well as Joybeth Taylor, Trannie Anderson and Will Bunny, is arguably the best song off the EP. It tells a powerful story of a girl who refused to change who…
