Did not have that on my 2024 bingo list. Just two days after the controversial Rolling Stone interview with Bruce Springsteen in which he claimed he “didn’t want to be a country musician,” Zach Bryan is now supposedly working on a collaboration with none other than Snoop Dogg. In an interview with Today, Snoop was asked if he was a country music fan. Immediately, the 52-year-old rapper replied, “Zach sent me a song. I gotta put a verse on it.” He then said that he was inspired by the aforementioned interview with Springsteen, “I’m inspired seeing that with him with…

2024 very well might go down as the year of Riley Green. Between the success of his collaboration with Ella Langley, “you look like you love me,” the opening of his Nashville bar, Riley Green’s Duck Blind and a plethora of headlining spots on festivals throughout the year, it seems like the Alabama native is finally having his “moment.” Today, he’s looking to firmly place himself into superstardom with the release of his third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do. Green took to Instagram on September 5th to announce the album with the release of the title track. Describing…

Coming soon. After a year that included a record-breaking show in the U.K., his second straight Billboard Song of the Summer and a slew of sold-out stadium shows, Morgan Wallen has his eyes set on another new venture: a music festival.

And I’m bringing some of my friends with me.” Obviously, the festival is named after…

With Zach Bryan mania seemingly hitting a fever pitch over the past two years, it seems as if everything the 28-year-old singer/songwriter does gets put under the microscope. Whether it’s his comments about the Bud Light boycott, his controversial tweets about Taylor Swift and Kanye West or his infamous 2023 arrest, Bryan has always been someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind (minus a deleted tweet or two). In his recent “Musicians on Musicians” interview with Bruce Springsteen in Rolling Stone, the “I Remember Everything” singer dug into everything from the pair’s prolific songwriting, to the future of American…

One of the longest-running (and oftentimes most frustrating) debates throughout the genre’s history has been none other than what is or isn’t country. With very loud opinions on both sides, it seems like there is never going to be a true middle ground and/or consensus reached on what truly makes a song “country” or not. While the definition of country music has undoubtedly been watered down lately, especially given the fact that it houses so many different subgenres that all contain some elements underneath them, it’s always fascinating to hear different perspectives on the century-old debate.
