Fresh off of the release of his fifth studio album, American Son, back in August and his Red Rocks debut over the weekend, Colby Acuff is back with a brand-new EP, a collaboration with OurVinyl. For those unfamiliar with OurVinyl, they’re a production company best known for capturing live performances of the best independent country artists working today. Collaborating with everyone from Tyler Childers and Flatland Cavalry to Charley Crockett and Billy Strings, they’ve captured some of the best reimaginings of the aforementioned artist’s songs to date. Acuff took to Instagram on October 10th to announce the collaboration’s release. The…

Dylan Gossett has taken the country world by storm over the past year. Between the release of his second EP, Songs in the Gravel, a spot on the highly successful Twisters soundtrack and an appearance on ESPN’s College Gameday at his alma mater, Texas A&M, the “Coal” singer has had quite a year. Today, Gossett aims to keep the momentum with the release of the brand new song, “Tree Birds,” which was teased all the way back on August 7th on TikTok. The Texas native took to Instagram on September 21st to announce the track’s release: Discussing the track, Gossett…

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.

Like a few of Bryan’s releases, “Starved” had a pretty odd rollout. A live version of the track…

What a trio. Last night, at the Songs and Stories of Dean Dillon tribute concert, legends such as George Strait, Vince Gill, Ronnie Dunn and Sammy Kershaw performed along with the likes of current stars, Cody Johnson, ERNEST and Zach Top to honor the legendary singer/songwriter. Dillon has written a mile-long list of hits including Strait’s “The Chair,” “Easy Come, Easy Go,” “Marina Del Ray” and “Ocean Front Property” and most notably “Tennessee Whiskey.” The Tennesee native has also cut songs with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn and Keith Whitley. With Zach Top absolutely crushing a cover of Whitley’s…

Definitely not the response I was expecting. Last Friday, Luke Bryan stopped by The Bobby Bones Show to discuss his new album, Mind Of A Country Boy, as well as Carrie Underwood joining him as a judge on American Idol. However, in true Luke Bryan fashion, things got a little off track. Early in the interview, Bones asked Bryan about how he feels about artists canceling shows due to sickness. The “Do I” singer noted how he’d rather perform feeling under the weather rather than outright canceling a show. However, he said that he second-guesses going out to perform when…
