DAMN good. With all of the new music released today (cough – Morgan Wallen – cough) it’s easy to get wrapped up in, gee..I don’t know, 36 new other songs, but Pecos & the boys just released their first single since signing with Warner records and it’s my favorite release today, by far. Frontman Pecos Hurley recently sat down for an Instagram live interview with Country Chord at the Hawthorne in St. Louis. When asked about the reoccurring theme of staying up until the early morning hours featured in their massive hit “This Damn Song” and now on “5 A.M.,”…

Unless you’ve been living under a fucking rock, you’re already aware that The Turnpike Troubadours broke the internet last year with the news that they were finally getting back together. Over three years ago, the band went on a “hiatus” in May of 2019 but as of late, they’ve been back on the main stage, making fans and ticket scalpers happy as fuck. While we’re all waiting for Cross Canadian Ragweed to do the same, we’ll take the third best option…a Turnpike tribute from Flatland Cavalry. Covering “Empty As A Drum,” off of Turnpike’s 2012 album Goodbye Normal Street, the…
Always good for the fans to get a little extra than they paid for. Last night, Carrie Underwood took her Denim & Rhinestones Tour to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and surprised the crowd by bringing out Jason Aldean to perform their recent No. 1 duet, “If I Didn’t Love You.” I haven’t been personally but I’ve seen a ton of footage from this tour and Carrie should undoubtably be nominated for Entertainer Of The Year at Country music’s award shows coming up, as she’s been killing it. Check out the video a fan uploaded, below. View this post on…
It’s only March and HARDY is already having himself one helluva year. Not only did HARDY recently release his half-country, half-rock album “The Mockingbird & THE CROW,” he also just teamed up with Apple music to put out two new versions of “Wait In The Truck” and “A Rock,” with live performance videos as well. On top of that, today he just earned two new RIAA gold certifications for his songs “Unapologetically Country As Hell” and the rockin’ “Boots,” which means both have pushed 500,000 units. There’s a ton more RIAA certifications heading his way VERY soon.
Doing The King justice… First things first, no one outdoes George Strait, especially when it comes to his own music. However, there’s a few artists that come to mind who have phenomenal Strait covers. Cody Johnson might have the best one with “You Look So Good In Love,” but Jon Pardi has a couple pretty solid covers as well. Now, this is just an acoustic performance from when Jon Pardi stopped by the Bobby Bones show back in 2017 so it’s not a studio cover or Pardi’s best vocal attempt. With that said, I could see a damn good rendition…
Takin’ y’all back in time. The year is 1985 and Alan Jackson, who apparently went by just “Al” back then, makes his first ever Television appearance on the show most of you probably have never heard of, “You Can Be A Star.” The show had many contestants but strangely enough, Alan Jackson wasn’t one of them. Alan worked for the network and got to sing George Jones hit song “He Stopped Loving Her Today” for a live audience as the show went into commercials. Keith Steal, who was a judge for the singing competition, heard Alan sing for the very…
