We need a ZT 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 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, “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…

The nostalgia is hittin’ me HARD. Earlier today, film producer and frequent Koe Wetzel collaborator, Michael Herrick, shared a video he directed of the 32 year-old Texas-rocker performing a cover of Sum 41’s 2001 pop-punk hit, “In Too Deep.” While this isn’t the first time Koe has thrown this song into his setlist, it is the first time he’s posted it to his social media for fans who haven’t caught one of his shows recently to experience. And, so far, the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with many users in the comments begging for a studio version to hit streaming…

Clearing things up. During Wednesdays 58th annual CMA Awards show, Cody Johnson’s producer found himself in hot water after making an awkward joke about “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer, Shaboozey, during his brief acceptance speech for CoJo’s “Leather” winning Album of the Year. After Cody thanked his fans, Trent Willmon stood in front of the mic (and millions watching at home), and uttered, “I got to tell you, this is for this cowboy who’s been kicking Shaboozey for a lot of years.” Since that moment, Willmon’s comment sections on social media have been filled with angry Shabbozey fans accusing him…

Big boys are so back. Last week, PEOPLE released their annual Sexiest Man Alive issue. While naming The Office actor-turned-heartthrob, John Krasinski, their 2024 cover star, the celebrity news magazine decided to switch things up and simultaneously name a “sexiest man” from every age between 20-41 years old. Country stars such as Warren Zeiders and Hunter Hayes, as well as folk artist, Noah Kahan, rounded out the list for ages 25, 33 and 27, but the most surprising (and head-scratching) of them all just might’ve been who they named the sexiest man for age 34 – none other than country…

Earlier this week, the staff writers over at Billboard released their “100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time” list, and as you probably could’ve guessed – it’s a complete joke. First, let me preface this article by saying that music is obviously subjective and there’s no way to please country fans and prevent them from being pissed off about something on the internet regardless (can’t say I blame them with what we’ve been forced to endure over the last decade). With that said, it’s clear that bias and politics played a role in determining whom and in what order certain…

“Somebody call HR please.” Jokes were flying in by the dozen last night at the CMA Awards with hosts, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, delivering some solid lines throughout the night. Though they failed to point out the absolute joke that the CMAs themselves have become over the past decade, the trio did land a couple of good ones referencing Luke Combs’ “Sexiest Man Alive” nod and Jelly Roll’s weight-loss journey over the year. For the most part, it was your typical awards show fare with an even mix of corny bits and some solid riffing between the…
