“I just got scared by a pair of t*ts that just plopped out real quick.” During a busy weekend that included an appearance at MerleFest, Wyatt Flores took his Welcome Back to the Plains Tour to Charlottesville, Virginia, at the Ting Pavilion to a sold-out crowd Saturday night. The Oklahoman singer/songwriter treated fans to a 24-song setlist which included hits like the certified-platinum, “Please Don’t Go,” “West of Tulsa” and “Oh Susannah” as well as covers of Ella Langley’s “you look like you love me,” 49 Winchester’s “Russell County Line” and The Fray’s “How To Save a Life.” As the…

This morning, the American Music Awards (AMA’s) announced the full list of nominations for their 2025 program, which will be hosted by Jennifer Lopez on Monday, May 26th at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Much like the Grammies, AMA covers all genres, ranging from pop and hip-hop to Latin and rock. Obviously, we’re going to be focusing on the country selections here, and I must say, they are rough. Leading the way for country artists are the likes of Post Malone (8), Shaboozey (7), Morgan Wallen (6), Zach Bryan (5), Jelly Roll (3), Luke Combs (3) and, much…

We are so back. After setting the alternative country scene ablaze back in February by announcing that they were in the studio working on new music with Jay Joyce, Whiskey Myers fans everywhere have been patiently waiting for the East Texas band to officially announce a new album. They added even more fuel to the fire last week, posting a series of videos on social media of a CRT television that eventually began counting down from 59. With the final video counting all the way down to one being posted this morning, it was only a matter of time before…

In typical Garth Brooks fashion, the “Friends In Low Places” singer announced the rerelease of seven classic music videos, spanning from 1991 to 2019, directly to his website. After being inspired by his conversation around his Anthology series, the Oklahoma native decided to release fan-favorites such as “We Shall Be Free,” “Midnight Sun,” the award-winning, “Red Strokes,” and most notably, the highly-controversial “The Thunder Rolls.” As previously mentioned, the most noteworthy selection in this batch of rereleases from Brooks is none other than “The Thunder Rolls.” The 1991 single was nothing short of a smash for the nineties superstar, netting…

It’s hard to imagine a band that’s hotter than Treaty Oak Revival at the moment. Between scoring their first-ever ACM Award nomination for Best New Duo/Group, a half-dozen gold certifications from the RIAA and a cult-following through their electric live shows, the West Texas band has become nothing short of a shot of adrenaline in the country-rock scene. Just a week after alerting fans that they’re putting the finishing touches on their third studio album, Treaty Oak announced that they would be making their first-ever late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last Thursday: Despite many country fans having…

Before Zach Bryan was the certified superstar he is today, selling out stadiums with every show announcement, it’s commonly known that he was one of the best-kept secrets in the independent country scene. The “I Remember Everything” singer had already released two critically successful independent records as well as his first major-label release, the Quiet, Heavy Dreams EP. Despite the critical success in indie country scenes, Bryan had not yet become a powerhouse in the genre.
