There’s no doubt that Cody Jinks is one of the most interesting independent artists in country music today. Despite not quite reaching the heights of the likes of Zach Bryan, Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers, the “Loud and Heavy” singer has firmly placed himself as a bit of an Eric Church type in the alt-country scene. With loads of respect among his peers, six RIAA-certified singles and a career that has spanned over 14 years now, Jinks has cemented himself as one of the most underrated artists in the entire genre. Despite the success over the past few years, it’s…
At this point, everyone knows that HARDY and Morgan Wallen are one of the most prolific duos in country music. From co-writing hits such as “Tennesee Fan,” “More Than My Hometown” and “Livin’ The Dream” to collaborating on songs like “In The Bible,” “red” and “He Went to Jared,” the pair are seemingly inseparable. With that being said, however, there’s one line that HARDY will not let Wallen cross, and that line is dating his sister. In an interview with Aly Mac of Michigan’s country radio station, B-93.7, she asked the “TRUCK BED” singer the iconic question, “Who in country…
Another one… Last night at Jason Aldean’s show in Savannah, Georgia, the “She’s Country” singer came out firing, playing a plethora of hits including “My Kinda Party,” “Burnin’ It Down,” “Fly Over States” and his controversial #1 hit, “Try That In a Small Town.” Everything was going smoothly for the Georgia native until a fan decided to jump on stage during the end of the performance of his 2009 #1 hit, “Big Green Tractor,” late in the show. He never made it to Aldean, but instead, he was carried out by police officers and a security guard. In what can…
Before Chief, Eric Church had minor hits with songs such as “Love Your Love The Most,” “How ‘Bout You” and “Hell on the Heart.” However, no one could predict the absolute powerhouse that would be unleashed with the release of Chief on July 26, 2011. Following the success of “Smoke A Little Smoke,” his breakout single off of Carolina, Church knew that he didn’t want anyone reigning him in during the creation of Chief. In an interview with The Boot, he said, “Going in the studio [for the new album], our main goal was not to let anyone reign us in. We didn’t have any rules and because of that we made some really…
That’s one way to get kicked out of a concert… Tonight, at his show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Lousiana, Zach Bryan played a fairly standard set with the performance consisting of tracks such as “I Remember Everything,” “Burn, Burn, Burn,” “Oklahoma Smokeshow” and his newest hit, “Pink Skies.” It’s become a common practice during the Quittin’ Time tour for Bryan to surprise fans and bring out stars for the show-closing performance of “Revival,” with everyone from Shane Gillis and the “hawk tuah” girl, Haliey Welch to Bruce Springsteen and Tate McCrae coming out to perform the RIAA-certified gold…
