Throwback Thursday anyone? After the death of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legendary guitar player, Ed King, back in 2018, Chris Stapleton paid his respects with a tribute of one of the band’s most popular songs, “Simple Man.” Not only is Lynyrd Skynyrd one of the most popular rock bands to ever exist, but Simple Man, inspired by the passing of Ronnie Van Zant’s grandmother, is still one of the most influential songs ever recorded, even 50 years later.

I bet he’s hurtin’ after that one… During his set at Coast City Country Fest in Vancouver, BC, Canada last night, Luke Bryan took a hard fall after a fan threw a cell phone on stage during his performance of “I Don’t Want This Night To End.” The 47-year old country star was walking back from the front of the stage as his 2011 No. 1 hit was coming to an end, when he slipped on the cell phone and fell right on his back. While I’d make a sure bet that Luke woke up with back pain this morning (and…
While spending my Saturday afternoon attempting to expeditiously cure my hangover with a 10 piece nugget meal from McDonalds and endless scrolling on the addictive social media platform that is TikTok, I may have discovered one of the greatest cover renditions of all time. If you’re a fan of mid-2000’s “emo” rock, a sound that artists such as Kody West still do well today (if you know, you know), and a lover of a Nickelback (who isn’t), then you are in for a real treat. A TikTok user, who goes by the name of Top Tier Sh*t Beer, has recently…
Luke Bryan seems to be paying attention these days. A creator on TikTok recently uploaded a video set out to determine the most popular country artist by comparing a group of four’s current monthly listeners on Spotify. As you would expect, Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan and Luke Combs were all featured, as well as the “odd ball,” Luke Bryan himself. While the TikTok user admits there’s other trends he could’ve followed to determine the artists’ popularity, he chose to strictly look at the numbers on the biggest music streaming platform there is. While Apple Music is still very popular, just…
After suffering a heart attack nearly two weeks ago following his performance at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in Gilbert, Arizona, Colt Ford remains in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in a Scottsdale, Arizona. Golf Channel analyst Charlie Rymer shared an update on Twitter last week, adding that the 53 year-old country-rapper’s chances of survival were originally “grim.” Hey everybody. News keeps getting better on @coltford All the prayers are appreciated and working. Odds of survival were grim. Now….He’s making great progress and doing better by the minute. Please keep Colt and his family in your prayers.— Charlie Rymer…
