Country music enthusiast and avid drinker of alcohol. Old Aldean is better than your favorite artist. (except for Zach Top)

We need a 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 mix.…

Getting another shot. Back in July of last year, Ingrid Address stood in front of thousands of people at the MLB Home Run Derby in Arlington, Texas, and delivered what can only be described as one of, if not thee, worst National Anthem performances ever seen by a recording artist. The very next day, she released a statement on social media apologizing to fans and admitted to being intoxicated during the performance. She also announced that she was checking herself into rehab.

If you know, you know. Today isn’t just any ol’ regular day, it’s a day where country and rock fans, alcoholics and pot-heads, taco-bell lovers, people of Texas and beyond, and well…all of us on social media, come together to celebrate the drunken actions made by Koe Wetzel on this date 9 years ago. After getting arrested for public intoxication in Stephenville, Texas, where he found himself cozied up in a jail cell for a couple days, the Texas rocker was able to put the finishing touches on what would become one of his most popular songs to date, “February 28th, 2016.”…

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…
