Back in May of 2023, Morgan Wallen released his own signature flavor of sweet tea with the popular tea brand, Ryl. Selling out quickly upon release, it has become a staple flavor of the brand over the past two years. Today, Ryl and Wallen are back with another ad for the drink, joined by none other than Barstool comedian, Caleb Pressley and comedian/podcast extraordinaire, Theo Von, who was alongside Wallen during his walkout before his Nashville show back on May 3rd.

Making history. With an incredible amount of hype, a star-studded features lineup that included everyone from Dolly Parton to Morgan Wallen and an album rollout that felt more like an event rather than a music release, it seems like there was absolutely no doubt that Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion was going to be a smash hit. Given that Post is one of the most successful artists in the streaming age with a record-breaking nine certified diamond songs by the RIAA, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that the album was a hit. However, Post accomplished something today that has…
August 25, 2023. Following the incredible success of his 2022 major label debut, American Heartbreak, there were high expectations for Zach Bryan with the release of his self-titled album. While it doesn’t quite capture the lighting-in-a-bottle nature of the aforementioned record, there’s no denying that Zach Bryan continued the unprecedented success that the Oklahoma native has experienced over the past few years with a plethora of fantastic tracks filling out the album’s nearly hour runtime. The album’s rollout was a bit of a convoluted one. For those that don’t know, the record was first confirmed to have an August release…
August 24, 2019. Before he was one of the biggest stars in the country genre, the former Navy member, Zach Bryan, took his friends to Florida and produced a 12-song, fully independent project titled DeAnn. To say the rest is history is an understatement. DeAnn was famously recorded in an Airbnb in Jacksonville, Florida. With absolutely no experience recording music, Bryan and Co. marched into the said Airbnb, stood mattresses up against the walls to absorb sound and created something completely raw and refreshing. In an interview with Saving Country Music, he described his hesitation to record the album without any prior experience: “I looked…
Last night at the 17th ACM Honors, Alan Jackson was presented with the ACM’s Poets Award, an honor presented to a songwriter for “outstanding and longstanding musical and/or lyrical contributions throughout their career. A plethora of today’s country artists covered Jackson’s hits throughout the night with Jordan Davis performing “Chattahoochee,” Carly Pearce performing “Don’t Rock the Jukebox” and most notably, Eric Church performing a stripped-back version of his 1990 hit, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow.” In typical Church fashion, he made the song his own, delivering a soulful acoustic rendition of the song. Though it doesn’t sound incredibly similar to Jackson’s…
What a moment. It’s been well-documented that Jason Aldean has been a huge supporter of the armed forces. With both his father and grandfather serving in the military, the “Fly Over Sates” singer has often honored members both on and off the stage over the years. Yesterday, Aldean took to Instagram to document a special moment between him and Navy First Class Petty Officer, Blake Darling, and his family, surprising them after returning from his 10-month deployment. During what seems to be an intimate pre-show meet-and-greet, Aldean took Darling’s son and daughter on stage. While Darling’s kids were on stage…
