Back on June 5, Koe Wetzel released “High Road” off of his upcoming album, 9 Lives, and was an instant success for the “Ragweed” singer. The track is Wetzel’s most successful debut to date, debuting at #29 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, as well as #3 on Spotify US and #10 on Apple Music. As of June 27, the song has already racked up over 21 million streams on Spotify alone. Yesterday, he took to Instagram to announce the video’s release. Despite the success of “High Road,” it did not come without controversy. Many fans were extremely critical of Jessie…

Going to be one helluva features list. After finally announcing the title and release date for his upcoming country album titled, F-1 Trillion last week, Post Malone kept the hype train rolling today teasing another collaboration with none other than Chris Stapleton. Stapleton joins the likes of Blake Shelton and Morgan Wallen as confirmed features on F-1 Trillion. However, if I was a betting man, I’d figure that there would be plenty of more to come. Post has already teased a collaboration in the past with Luke Combs, so there’s no doubt that the “Beer Never Broke My Heart” singer…

Add MGK to the growing list of rappers trying to break into the country scene. After a performance at Blake Shelton’s bar, Ol’ Red, during CMA Fest which included a cover of the Dixie Chicks’ “There’s Your Trouble” and an appearance from Jelly Roll on “Need a Favor” and “my ex’s best friend,” mgk is back with another country cover. This afternoon, the Houston native released a cover of none other than Zach Bryan’s certified platinum hit, “Sun to Me” onto his YouTube channel live from Cheshire Cottage. While I’m sure many will be quick to judge mgk for seemingly…

It’s no secret that the Turnpike Troubadours are one of the best bands in country music. As one of the forefathers of the red dirt revival that we are currently experiencing in the indie scene, the Oklahoma band has reached legend status despite not having the mainstream success that others have. From Zach Bryan to Flatland Cavalry to Wyatt Flores, Turnpike has influenced some of the most popular acts in the alt-country world. I should preface this ranking by saying that I don’t think Turnpike has released a bad or even mediocre song; this list aims to rank them moreso…

Happens to the best of us. Last night at his first of two nights at Buckeye Country Superfest in Columbus, Ohio, Zach Bryan once again proved why he is one of the hottest acts in all of music. The setlist included his Grammy-winning hit, “I Remember Everything,” the brand-new track, “Pink Skies” and “Something in the Orange,” which was temporarily derailed by a spider crawling on the “Tourniquet” singer’s shoulder. However, the closing performance of “Revival” stole the show when bluegrass superstar, Billy Strings, joined the band. As expected, Strings absolutely shredded on his solo, making this performance of “Revival”…

“Funny how a melody sounds like a memory.” Does “Springsteen” even need an introduction? Being Eric Church’s most popular song and one of the biggest country songs of the 2010s, the track has left a huge impact on Church, his fans and even Bruce Springsteen himself. The song went #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, staying there for two weeks 12 years ago today. It didn’t take long for “Springsteen” to connect with fans and critics alike. The track received two Grammy nominations in 2013 for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song. Additionally, it received two ACM nominations in 2013 for Single and Song of…
