My name is Brady and I like purple flowers.

This was the place to be this weekend. This year’s Stagecoach festival featured a TON of great performances. From Post Malone’s country covers set that included surprise guest appearances from Brad Paisley and Sara Evans, to Jelly Roll and T-Pain paying tribute to Toby Keith, the bar was set incredibly high this year. Another joint performance that may get overlooked but was nothing short of incredible, was Miranda Lambert bringing out Reba McEntire for a surprise medley performance that included her 1991 hit, “Fancy.” “Fancy” was originally written and recorded by Bobbie Gentry in 1969 and although she experienced mild…

Didn’t have this performance on my bingo card for 2024… 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. The latest artist to pay tribute to Toby, however, is not one that I would’ve expected. Although he’s dabbled in country…

Long live country music. After being out on the west coast for the first four stops of his Leather Tour, Cody Johnson performed at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville back in February and gave fans more bang for their buck when he surprised the crowd by bringing out the most legendary duo in all of country music, Brooks & Dunn. Although I would’ve expected a performance of “Red Dirt Road,” the song Cody Johnson helped breathe new life on from the duo’s 2019 album, “Reboot,” both acts decided to kick things up a notch and perform their collaboration from Cody’s…

It’s coming soon, I can feel it. Back in late December of last year, Morgan Wallen shared a teaser of an unreleased song with the caption, “I Had Some help,” that he wrote with Post Malone, ERNEST and Charlie Handsome, to his Instagram account. He later deleted the reel the next morning after fans expressed their distaste for the track in the comments, professedly a first for the 30 year-old country star. Fast forward to last month, and we received another teaser of the track from Post himself, implying that it will be featured on his upcoming country record (whenever he decides to drop it)…

Well, it’s officially been almost three weeks since Morgan Wallen was arrested for tossing a chair off of the rooftop of Eric Church’s new Nashville bar, Chief’s, and the internet jokes are still running rampant. Ever since the news broke that the 30 year-old country star had been booked and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, the comment sections of every Wallen related post have been filled with lyrics from some of the singer’s most popular songs, replacing any noun possible with the word “chair.” “Leave them broadway chairs alone.” “I…

Cody Johnson’s newest single at Country radio was almost recorded by Luke Combs. During a recent conversation with Country Now, songwriter Josh Phillips revealed the story of how “Dirt Cheap” was accidentally passed over by country superstar, Luke Combs, and how it fell into the hands of Texas bull rider, Cody Johnson. Phillips, known for penning other LC songs such as “Angels Workin’ Overtime” and “Can I Get An Outlaw,” as well as Jason Aldean’s “Small Town Small,” had previously written with CoJo’s longtime producer, Trent Willmon, in what he described as “many years ago,” but it wasn’t that connection…
