As someone with a diverse music taste, especially when it comes to Country music, I’ve found that it’s still easier to discuss what I don’t like within the genre, rather than what I do like. When approached with the question, “What type of Country do you listen to?”, 90’s (of course) always comes to mind, as well as the Texas music scene. But then my brain goes “Oh! I like this as well,” and then I find myself on a 3-minute spiel about this project from this artist and so on. Maybe it just boils down to the fact that…

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” is officially no. 1 at Country radio. Not only was Last Night the most-streamed song, all-genre, this past week, it was also the fourth most-sold song, just ahead of Luke Combs’ “Fast Car.” Wallen’s album, “One Thing At A Time,” the massive 36-song record that the single belongs to, is currently the best-selling album of the year so far, so it’s really not a surprise to see all of the achievements coming along with it. Now officially his 9th No. 1 hit, Last Night, written by John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Ryan Vojtesak, reached…
Pecos & the boys have FINALLY announced their first ever, album. After years and years of droppin’ singles, the only real project we had from Pecos & The Rooftops was their 2020 EP, “Red Eye,” (which I still jam to religiously) but today, with the release of their brand new song, “Last Thing I Remember,” the boys also announced that their self-titled, debut album with Warner Records, will officially be out on June 23rd.

In honor of the 58th annual ACM Award’s next week, we’re going back a few years to honor The King. In 2019, George Strait released a surprise song, “God and Country Music,” and not only does it have a special meaning, it also featured vocals from his, at the time, 6 year old grandson. Written by Luke Laird, Barry Dean and Lori McKenna, the song is as traditional as something Strait would’ve released in the 80’s or 90’s. Staying true to his roots, the song gives us the notion that Country music and God are the two things still worth…
Just this morning, Texas native William Clark Green, announced he was making his debut at the Grand Ole Opry on May 16th. The Opry has always been a place that Country music artists strive to play at and (hopefully) become a member of when they’re young in their career. Even though the credibility of the Opry has started to diminish over the years, it’s still cool to see guys like Green get a chance to be recognized. The “She Likes The Beatles” singer put out his first record in 2008 but if I’m being honest, I didn’t discover him until…
A huge honor. Just recently, it was announced that Blake Shelton will be the 2,755th name to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Set to happen on May 12th, wife Gwen Stefani and friend/The Voice host, Carson Daly, will be attending the ceremony, as well as others, to honor Blake and celebrate his accomplishment. “Blake Shelton is one of the music and television world’s most popular entertainers,” Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, Ana Martinez, said in a statement. “He keeps The Voice audiences in stitches with his witty banter, and he has captured many fan’s hearts with his soulful country…
