Real recognizes real. Playing at Billy Bob’s Texas is a bucket list for nearly every country singer working today. Located in Fort Worth, Texas, the venue is often viewed as the mother church of honky tonks not only in Texas but the entire country. Over the weekend, Zach Top made his debut at the iconic Texas venue to a sold-out crowd. As mentioned previously, it’s a special moment to perform at Billy Bob’s. It’s another thing entirely when you’re joined on stage by one of the biggest legends in the genre, and that’s exactly what the “Sounds Like the Radio”…

“I got a stereo…” Over the weekend, Darius Rucker along with Hootie and the Blowfish headlined the second night of the Riverfront Revival festival in Charleston, South Carolina, performing their hits, “Let Her Cry,” “Only Wanna Be With You” and “Hold My Hand.” Given that he was in his hometown, Rucker included a couple of his solo hits into the set, with the band playing “Wagon Wheel” and “Alright” during the back half.

Criminally underrated. In case you weren’t quite on the Zach Bryan bandwagon back in 2022, I’m going to take you back in time. By now, everyone is aware that his mammoth, major label debut, American Heartbreak, as well as his EP, Summertime Blues, both came out within a three-month span that year. However, what some people tend to overlook is the fact that he released another four singles that year, including the severely underrated “Starved,” which was released two years ago today.
