We all get our start somewhere. It may come as a surprise today, but there was once a time when singing competition shows were the hottest thing on television. American Idol was the number one watched show on TV for seven straight seasons in the mid 2000’s. There was something about watching everyday people turn into music superstars in real time that held a grip on the public. While the ratings aren’t the same today as they were in the heyday of these types of shows, they continue to roll on, with American Idol and The Voice entering their 22nd…

We all know that one guy. You know, that guy or girl in your life that will listen to “anything but country”. He never lets you have the aux cord in the car because he doesn’t want to hear any of that “hick sh*t”. “It’s all trucks and beer” he’ll say. Every country fan has had this conversation at some point or another, and it’s frustrating. When it’s someone random you probably just let it slide, but if it’s a friend you’d love to be able to share your favorite music with them. As a fan, we all know there…
BOO! It’s October and that means only one thing: spooky season. The leaves have started changing, football is in full swing, and Halloween is less than a month away. For me, picking a costume is the hardest part of every Halloween season. You want something that isn’t too basic, but will still be recognizable to most people, all while not breaking the bank. Here’s a few country artists that make for great Halloween costumes. Morgan Wallen Wallen feels like the answer to most questions surrounding country music these days, but his popularity is what makes this such a great costume.…
I was starting to think this one would never arrive. On Friday, Riley Green gave fans perhaps one of the most anticipated releases of his career with his new single They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That No More. The release comes in anticipation of Green’s upcoming album Ain’t My Last Rodeo, which is set to release October 13. Riley teased the single with a jam session recording on Instagram this past Thursday: Riley’s fans have been waiting on this one to drop for a while now. He first showcased the song way back in 2020 during his acoustic “Golden Saw”…
We need some twang in the big game. It was previously announced that Usher will be performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Las Vegas this February. The Super Bowl hasn’t exactly been known to choose the most popular artist of the day, and although Usher once dominated the charts, he hasn’t had a top ten hit since 2012. I’m not asking for the halftime performer to be a popularity contest each year, but choosing someone that is a bit more tied into the pulse of the nation would go a long way. The halftime show has held an obsession…
God bless Cody Johnson. Country music’s resident cowboy is back at it, releasing two new songs on Friday titled Work Boots and Watching My Old Flame, as well as announcing a November 3rd release date for his upcoming double album, Leather. The two songs show off Cody’s range perfectly. The first, Work Boots, is as classic as it comes. With an upbeat melody and a great swinging groove, it sees Johnson giving a tongue in cheek pep talk to his sh*t kickers. After a long day of work, both him and his boots want to sit down and relax, but…
