One of my favorite songs of all time. Many believe that if Keith Whitley were still alive today, he would’ve given George Strait a run for his money as the current titleholder of the “King of country music.” Unfortunately, Keith passed away in May of 1989 from alcohol poisoning, but not before giving country fans some of the most timeless hits over the course of his brief, 5-year career. Along with “When You Say Nothing At All,” which was also recorded by Alison Krauss in 1995, “Don’t Close Your Eyes” might be the biggest out of the five No. 1’s…

Bringin’ out all the stops. Last night, Cody Johnson brought his Leather Deluxe Tour to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for a second-straight night and he gave fans in attendance a little more bang for their buck by bringing out two of country music’s biggest stars – Luke Combs and Carrie Underwood. On top of already getting to hear Ashley McBryde and Drew Baldridge open, the sold-out crowd also had the pleasure of witnessing CoJo shotgun a cold one on stage while performing “Beer Never Broke My Heart” alongside Luke. (You can watch that here). But fans were in for another treat…

Bringing out all the stops. Last night, Cody Johnson brought his Leather Deluxe Tour to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for a second-straight night and he gave fans in attendance a little more bang for their buck by bringing out two of country music’s biggest stars – Carrie Underwood and Luke Combs. Ending the show on a high note (or drunk note I should say), Cody brought out the 34 year-old singer/songwriter for a performance of “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” and in honor of the 6x platinum cold can anthem, the two took a moment to shotgun one on…

$45 for both days, yeah you read that right. If you thought that there were more country festivals now more than ever, you would be correct. With new festival lineups seemingly dropping on social media every other week, it may be hard to decide on which one(s) to attend. With some pretty heavy hitting lists of performers already announced for Two Step Inn, Cattle Country, Tailgate N’ Tallboys, as well as Morgan Wallen’s inaugural Sand In My Boots Fest in Gulf Shores Alabama, there’s just one problem for many ordinary fans – the prices. And don’t get me wrong, the pricing…

The FairWell Festival has officially announced their lineup for 2025 and it’s LOADED. Held at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond, Oregon, the two day festival features some of the biggest names in independent country, as well as some of the hottest rising stars the genre has to offer today. The headliners for this year’s festival are Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson, with other acts such as Dwight Yoakam, Cody Jinks, Sierra Ferrell and Koe Wetzel high up on the bill. Other acts include Flatland Cavalry, Wyatt Flores, Ole 60, Treaty Oak Revival, Kaitlin Butts, Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin,…

As someone with a diverse music taste, especially when it comes to Country music, I’ve found that it’s still easier to discuss what I don’t like within the genre, rather than what I do like. When approached with the question, “What type of Country do you listen to?”, 90’s (of course) always comes to mind, as well as the Texas music scene. But then my brain goes “Oh! I like this as well,” and then I find myself on a 3-minute spiel about this project from this artist and so on. Maybe it just boils down to the fact that I’m a very passionate Country music fan, but…
