Yeah, I’m SO here for this. Following yesterday’s devastating news that legendary country singer Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80, a growing push to rename Nashville International Airport (BNA) in honor of the icon may soon make its way from an online plea to the Tennessee State Capitol. Responding directly to a 2025 petition that has gained significant momentum within the last 24 hours, State Rep. Todd Warner says he plans to introduce legislation that would officially rename Nashville International Airport as Dolly Parton International Airport. “Yes I will definitely introduce legislation to rename the BNA airport Dolly…

What an incredibly sad day for country music. Just hours ago, news broke that legendary country artist, actress, and philanthropist, Dolly Parton, passed away in Nashville at the age of 80 years old, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned more than six decades and left an immeasurable mark in not only country music, but all of America. Following the heartbreaking news, many country artists took to social media to honor the singer/songwriter. From George Strait to Blake Shelton, Reba and Brad Paisley, the entire country music community’s love for Dolly has been on full display. For Carrie…

We need a cover album ASAP. It’s no secret (or at least it shouldn’t be anyway), that Zach Top is emerging himself as one of the biggest country artists in the genre. While Morgan Wallen and Ella Langley currently dominate streaming numbers, Top is bringing back that traditional 80’s and 90’s sound country music fans clearly still crave, and doing it extremely well I might add. While his original music, especially the songs from his sophomore studio album, “Cold Beer & Country Music,” are nothing short of incredible, the man does every artist before him justice when he adds his smooth and twangy vocals into the mix. From…

Man, what I would give to go back in time and witness this performance live… Back in 2021, Facebook user Brad McKinney shared a video of Chris Stapleton performing at the Kentucky Opry, seemingly sometime around 1999. At that point, Traveller wasn’t even a thought yet, so instead of one of his own hits, Stapleton delivered a cover of Lonestar’s classic, “Amazed.” Written by Marv Green, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey, “Amazed” was released in March 1999 as the second single from the band’s third studio album, Lonely Grill. The song went on to spend eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot…

It’s always a good day when Zach Top uploads an acoustic video to his YouTube channel. Just a couple weeks ago, the 28 year-old singer/songwriter debuted a new song at Under The Big Sky Fest titled “Good Girls & Cowgirls.” Three days later, he took to social media to officially announce the song’s release date of August 21st. Just two days after that, Top revealed he would be dropping not one, but two new songs that Friday. And if that wasn’t enough, he also revealed he would be adding both tracks, “Good Girls & Cowgirls,” and “Other Side Of Hurtin'”…

Every artist has a moment when years of quiet preparation become something they arefinally ready to share. For Jesse Davidson, that moment arrives with his debut countrysingle, “Hemingway.” While many listeners will first discover him through the song,Davidson has spent years developing another skill that has shaped his creative voicejust as much as music: teaching. As an English teacher, Davidson has spent his entire professional life teaching youngpeople about stories, themes, and the emotions concealed in the lines of great literaryworks. This experience has affected how he writes songs; however, not in the sensethat he wishes to make his lyrics…
