He scored his first and only #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart back in 2012 with “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck.” In honor of another trip around the sun, let’s take a look at five songs of his that should’ve been added to your playlist, yesterday.

King shit only. Today, three George Strait songs officially earned new platinum certifications from the RIAA and when I first saw one of the songs that JUST went platinum, I was left shaking my head a little… Troubadour, the hit song from 2008 was deemed 3X platinum, as well as one of my personal favorite Strait songs, Amarillo By Morning.

Hell of a collaboration if I ever done seen one. Today, Justin Moore announced he’s releasing a brand new song “Everybody Get Along,” featuring Riley Green, this Friday, March 31st. The new song will also be featured on Justin’s upcoming album, Stray Dogs, set to be released on May 5th. If ya didn’t know, Justin Moore isn’t the tallest man out there so standing next to Riley Green, who comes in 9 inches taller (at least that’s what google says), makes for some pokin’ fun and Justin has no issue doin’ it to himself. Regardless, new music from Justin Moore…
What a night for Cole Swindell. Going up against Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney’s “half of my hometown,” as well as “Buy Dirt” from Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell took home the award for Country Song Of The Year at the iHeart Radio Awards for “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” Written by Cole, Thomas Rhett, Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, Mark Sanders & Tim Nichols, the song is a spin-off of Jo Dee Messina’s 1996 hit, “Heads Carolina, Tails California.” During his acceptance speech, Cole Swindell started off by acknowledging the victims and families…
The “Tejano Punk Boyz” are racking up the accolades with this latest addition to their trophy case. The alt-rock band from Stephenville, Texas, signed to the country mega-label Warner Music Nashville, is one of the hottest things in all of Rock n’ Roll. Tonight the world was once again put on notice when they were crowned the Best New Alternative/Rock Artist at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and I, as their self-proclaimed biggest fan, could not be more excited. Last year showed signs of their impending success when their hit single Ramón Ayala became their first #1 song on Billboard’s Hot…
