Takin’ y’all waaaay back in time. The year is 1985 and Alan Jackson, who apparently went by just “Al” back then, made his first ever Television appearance on the singing competition show most of you have probably never heard of, “You Can Be A Star.” The show, which awarded the winner a recording contact and $10,000, had many contestants but strangely enough, the 27 year old Alan Jackson wasn’t one of them. Alan worked for the network and was given the opportunity to perform George Jones’ hit song, “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” for a live studio audience as the…

The cover I didn’t know I needed. Ever since Toby Keith passed away back in early February, celebrities and musicians from all genres and walks of life have spoken out, mourning the loss of the country music legend. From nearly everyone in the country music community (other than the Dixie Chicks), and even late night talk show host, Stephen Colbert, it seems as if Toby’s music touched the lives of many over the last three decades. And although we all still love Toby’s 1993 classic, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” it’s hard not to roll your eyes when you see another artist…

Okay but why does this actually kind of go hard? Chris Stapleton recently made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live for a game of “Wing It & Sing It,” and to the country star’s surprise, he was accompanied by none other than 90’s heartthrob and ‘Full House’ cast member, John Stamos. “I was very tickled to learn that you’re a fan of the show ‘Full House,’ or at least you were when you were a kid. That is the theme for our song tonight.” Jimmy Kimmel During this specific segment, Chris had to come up with the melody and sing…

Morgan Wallen and Post Malone have been teasing their collaboration, “I Had Some Help,” for quite some time and it looks like we are finally closer to a release date. After the duo performed their new song for the first time at Stagecoach this past weekend, local San Jose/San Francisco Bay Area radio station, KBAY Country, featured a video of the two on their Instagram account, announcing that the song will be added in their rotation next Wednesday, May 8th.

It’s been a rough year for The King. After losing two important “music family members,” Erv Woolsey and Gene Elders (who died just hours apart earlier this year), George Strait and his team have suffered yet another tragedy with the news of his longtime tour manager, Tom Foote’s, passing on April 29th. Tom first jumped on board with George back in 1975 when he helped the “Amarillo By Morning” singer become the new frontman for a band that was then named Stoney Ridge. Before playing their first show together with the man who went on to become one of the…

Sounds like another big ole hit. Known for his high-energy beer drinkin’ anthems and fervent love songs, country star Luke Combs knows a thing or two about what it takes to speak to people through his songwriting, and that’s authenticity. While the country singer clearly knows how to convey topics in a way that his fans can relate to, most of Luke’s songs are inspired from memories or persons/things he holds dear. Whether it be about Miller Lite, his super-fandom for Brooks & Dunn, or his love for his wife, Nicole, Luke unabashedly continues to sing about it. And over…
