ANOTHER ONE (DJ Khaled voice). Earlier in the week, Morgan Wallen hopped on X (formerly known as Twitter) for the first time in ages to respond to a fan asking about one of his upcoming songs, “What I Want.” The X user was hoping to receive confirmation that the track will be Morgan’s first ever female duet, and the 31 year-old singer/songwriter responded with “Indeed.” Then Morgan teased another song from his upcoming album titled “Don’t We” when he announced his new mech collaboration with Mossy Oak on Instagram. And that if wasn’t enough, he also dropped a new live…

We need a studio version of this ASAP. It’s no secret that Chris Stapleton is widely viewed as one of the greatest country singers of all time. From his iconic cover of David Allan Coe’s “Tennessee Whiskey,” to his gut-wrenching emotion on the upbeat, “Parachute,” the 46 year-old singer/songwriter’s soulful and bluesy vocals, mixed with that powerful signature rasp, puts just about every country singer before and after him to shame. Don’t agree with me? That’s fine, we’re all entitled to our own opinions. But Parker Mccollum takes my side on this topic and that’s just about all the validation…

Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival Fest is back for a fourth year and the lineup is once again absolutely LOADED. After featuring some of country’s hottest names over the last three years such as Lainey Wilson, Turnpike Troubadours, Megan Moroney, Charley Crockett, Larry Fleet and more, the 2025 lineup just dropped moments ago and it might be their biggest one yet. Headlining this year will be Riley Green, The Red Clay Strays, Whiskey Myers and of course, Darius Rucker. Other names featured on the bill include Flatland Cavalry, Dylan Marlowe, Lukas Nelson, Neon Union, Kashus Culpepper, Bill Murray (yes, THAT Bill…

Running it back. After an extremely successful first year that featured top artists Eric Church, Tyler Childers, Lainey Wilson & Jelly Roll as headliners, Country Calling Fest announced they are returning to Ocean City, Maryland with another lineup just as loaded as last year. Expanding to three days this go around, 2025 headliners include Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan and Luke Combs. Other acts include Treaty Oak Revival, Koe Wetzel, Jon Pardi, Tucker Wetmore, Zach Top, Flatland Cavalry, Gary Allan, Avery Anna, Chase Rice, Jordan Davis and more. Country Calling will take place at Ocean City Inlet from…

Country music singer/songwriter and Middle Tennessee State University alum, Michael Hardy (better known by his stage name of just HARDY), had the privilege of his returning to his old school a few months back to give the commencement address to over 2,000 graduating students. On top of speaking to the first class of 2024, the country/rock singer finally received his diploma in person, 11 years later after not attending his own graduation. During his speech, HARDY detailed his first encounter with a then-nobody, Morgan Wallen: “About 8 years ago, my publisher called me and he asked if I wanted to write with this artist –…

This one hurts. As we gear up to learn who the 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame class will be tomorrow, I wanted to to take a look back at the 2024 inductees, more specifically: Toby Keith. Serving alongside John Anderson (Veterans Era Artist) and James Burton (Recording and/or Touring Musician), Toby was entered last year as the Modern Era Artist just months after his tragic passing on February 5th. While the HOF election rule that states you can’t vote in anyone within a year of their death, we learned Toby was chosen before he passed away when the voting closed on February 2nd.…
