Need this on streaming services ASAP. On a star-studded night featuring the likes of Chris Stapleton, Zach Top, Megan Moroney and many more during CBS’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville, Eric Church may have single-handedly stolen the show with a killer medley of “Take Me To The River” and his 2009 hit, “Smoke A Little Smoke” live from his Nashville bar, Chiefs. If you’re a fan of Church, you’ll know that the “Springsteen” singer is no stranger to covers. Whether it’s his knockout covers of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “The Ballad of Curtis Loew,” Willie Nelson’s “Me and Paul” or Guess Who’s…

Let’s put our tinfoil hats on for this one. As everyone knows by now, Morgan Wallen surprise dropped his fourth and final single of the year, “Smile” last night just in time for New Year’s. Though the song had been teased since August, the “Last Night” singer dropped the track completely out of the blue with zero promotion ahead of time. Along with the brand new song, Wallen also dropped a music video to go with it, featuring none other than Barstool podcaster and comedian, Caleb Pressley, who recently collaborated with Wallen on a Ryl Tea ad back in August. Directed…

Need this ASAP. Wrapping up a year that included a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance for “Fast Car,” the release of his fifth studio album, Fathers & Sons and the opening of his Nashville bar Category 10, Luke Combs took to Instagram today to tease a brand new duet seemingly titled, “More Less Than Perfect.” Just minutes ago, Combs posted the one-minute teaser with the caption, “Who should I duet this with?” You can’t always judge a song by its first teaser, but I have to say, this sounds like an absolute smash hit for Combs and whoever…

The most unexpected duo of 2024? In a year full of breakouts from the likes of Riley Green, Zach Top and many others, Megan Moroney very well may have had the biggest year of them all. Between the release of her sophomore album, Am I Okay?, multiple late-night TV appearances and a plethora of headlining performances at festivals across the country, the “Tennessee Orange” singer has seemingly been everywhere. Moroney spent a majority of the summer on the road with Kenny Chesney on his Sun Goes Down Tour along with Zac Brown Band and Uncle Kracker, and it’s clear that…

Finishing the year with a bang. It’s no stretch to say that Morgan Wallen has had one of the most interesting years in recent memory. Between his legal battles after his April arrest, the countless records broken, the opening of his Nashville Bar, placing as the 4th most-streamed artist of the year despite not releasing an album and his first-ever CMA Entertainer of the Year award win back in November, the “Last Night” singer has undoubtedly had a 2024 to remember. To put a bow on 2024, Wallen decided to surprise fans with the release of his fourth and final…

With 2024 coming to a close, it’s about that time to take a look at the best the year had to offer. While we’re continuing to be in the midst of what can only be described as a renaissance in both the mainstream and independent scene, it should come as no surprise that there were plenty of choices for the year’s top records. Whether it was Zach Top’s breakout debut, Cold Beer & Country Music, The Red Clay Strays killer sophomore effort, Made by These Moments, Sturgill Simpson’s return as Johnny Blue Skies on Passage du Desir or Riley Green’s…
