Country music enthusiast and avid drinker of alcohol. Old Aldean is better than your favorite artist. (except for Zach Top)

“Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low…” Before becoming the country music sensation that he is today after the release of his 2015 debut album, “Traveller,” Chris Stapleton was one of the most prominent songwriters in all of Nashville. The 45 year-old superstar is responsible for co-writing many hits over the last couple of decades, including some you probably wouldn’t expect. From “Never Wanted Nothing More” by Kenny Chesney, to “Come Back Song” by Darius Rucker, Chris left his mark all over the 2000’s. One track that Chris is listed as a co-writer on, just before blowing up himself, may come as…

That twang though. Back in the good ole days, you know… before Bluetooth, Wifi, smartphones and that God-awful millennial grey color splattered on the walls of millions of homes across America, Justin Timberlake (then going by Justin Randall) was already paving his own way to becoming a bonafide star. Although the direction of his music took a wide left turn (thanks Timbaland), Justin has admitted time and time again that he’s wanted to put out a Country album, even dropping a record titled “Man of the Woods” back in 2018 that he says was inspired by his folk and country influences growing up.…

Yeah, I’m gonna add this to the long list of covers I need Zach Top to release on streaming services… It’s no secret (or at least it shouldn’t be anyway), that Zach Top is emerging himself as one of the biggest artists in all of country music. While Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan overwhelmingly 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 recent sophomore studio album “Ain’t In It For My Health” are nothing short of incredible, the…

We need a studio version of this immediately. Back in 2020, Chris Stapleton and his wife, Morgane, stopped by the Bobby Bones show and performed a cover of Lee Ann Womack’s signature hit song from the year 2000, “I Hope You Dance.” Written by Mark Sanders and Tia Sillers, the 2x platinum certified song featured harmonies from Sons Of The Desert and is still the only No. 1 both artists have had in their careers to this day. I Hope You Dance went on to win Single Of The Year at both the 2001 CMA Awards and ACM’s, as well as a Grammy for Best Country Song.…

Like Brad Paisley said; “two of the best we’ve got.” Back in 2016, George Strait and Alan Jackson teamed up for a joint performance of their iconic hits, “Remember When” and “Troubadour” at the 50th annual CMA Awards. While the CMA’s (and just about every award show, to be honest) have seen their credibility diminish, (as well as their ratings), there’s still been a handful of moments to celebrate over the years, and this is definitely one of them. Alan wrote Remember When as a tribute to his wife, and released the track back in October of 2003 as the second and final single from his compilation album, Greatest…

We need a studio version of this asap. It’s no secret (or at least it shouldn’t be anyway), that Zach Top has emerged himself as one of the biggest country artists in the genre right now. While Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan overwhelmingly 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. Back in May of 2024, just a month after the release of his debut album, “Cold Beer and Country Music,” Zach uploaded a cover of Keith Whitley’s “Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her” to his…
