“Rhyme goes the song” and “boo goes the fans.” No those aren’t lines from a Dr. Suess book but they sure as h*ll sound a lot like Luke Bryan’s latest unreleased song “Down Goes The Whiskey.” The 50-year-old five-time ACM Entertainer of the Year has once again found himself on the wrong side of the internet with fans clouding his comments online underneath the new tune from his upcoming album, Signs. In an effort to promote his ninth studio album dropping in less than a month on September 18, Bryan’s been teasing the tracklist and what you can expect from…

Casey, a New Jersey native raised on country music, graduated from the University of Delaware with a BA in Communication and minors in Journalism, English, and Advertising. With her strong journalism background and love for country music, it was only natural for her to start writing about the genre she’s most passionate about. She has been contributing to Country Chord since January 2025. A quick look at her playlists reveals favorites like Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, ERNEST, Zach Top, and Turnpike Troubadours.
It was a very Dolly weekend, with almost every artist paying homage to the late icon on stage over the past few days. Following the world-renowned country music star’s passing last Tuesday, August 25, it was inevitable that everybody and their mama would pay tribute to Parton’s legendary life and career in the most fitting way possible: covering songs from her vast discography. Keeping with that theme, the king of covers (or at least that’s what I’m dubbing him), Zach Top, delivered two stellar back-to-back renditions of Dolly’s timeless hits. This past Friday, August 28, the Washington native, in fact,…
The Ella Langley and Drake collaboration rumors just keep getting stronger and stronger. At this point, Drake’s either in his full-blown Ella-Fella era or the two have a secret project up their sleeves. Adding even more fuel to the fire, Drake was spotted grooving along to Langley’s current Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Choosin’ Texas,” at her Arkansas show, just last week. Now “Champagne Papi” is taking things a step further with a remix of his own. Over the weekend, the 39-year-old rapper was spotted at a Toronto club, where he hopped up into the mixing booth and gave the crowd…
A few months back, all anyone could talk about was how American Idol contestant Hannah Harper’s voice was a dead ringer for Allison Krauss, Lee Ann Womack, and even the late legend Dolly Parton. Well, proving she could very well step into the roles of these iconic country females, last night the now-season-24 winner filled the shoes of Krauss on stage, joining her tour-buddy Brad Paisley. Earlier this summer, the “String Cheese” singer announced she would be joining the country music staple and her Idol mentor on the road for his 2026 tour. Considering the highly successful careers of some…
It’s been quite the 2026 for country music superstar Morgan Wallen, who wrapped up his massive stadium tour earlier this month. Riding off the high of his continuously charting 2025 album by bringing the hit project to eleven cities across the U.S., per its name, the tour still had its fair share of problems. There’s no doubt the Sneedville natives’ 21 sold-out summer stops will go down as one of the biggest tours of the year, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have a few kinks along the way. Whether it was a twisted ankle, life-threatening weather, a few phones…
Yesterday I declared that Chris Stapleton’s stunning performance of “I Will Always Love You” was one of the best tributes we’d witness for the late legend, Dolly Parton. While I still stand by that, I’d like to add another to the list: Brad Paisley singing “When I Get Where I’m Going” last night was hands down one of the most emotional, tear-jerking tributes ever. I can’t tell a lie; I’m choking up as we speak just trying to write this. The 53-year-old country music star took the stage for the first time since Dolly’s passing last night in Hartford, Connecticut.…
