What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. Luke Combs’ appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast last year gave the world a glimpse into the life of one of country music’s biggest stars, and led to several memorable stories form the Gettin’ Old singer. One of the wildest tales came when Combs shared his experience of one crazy night in Cabo, Mexico. Luke was invited by Columbia Sportswear to shoot some promotional material while fishing for marlin with a few buddies. In Luke’s words: “I’m getting paid to go fish for marlin, in Mexico?

Every campfire needs a guitar. Riley Green recently added his edition to CMT’s ongoing series of acoustic Campfire Sessions. Among the songs played was a new cut of one of his most popular tracks, “Different ‘Round Here.” One of the coolest parts of the Campfire Sessions is seeing artists put new spins on some of their biggest hits, and Green does exactly that here.

Earlier this week Trace Adkins went on political commenter and comedian Bill Maher’s Club Random Podcast. Among the many topics discussed was the debate around country singers Morgan Wallen and Jason Aldean and their recent controversies surrounding race. Much of Maher’s content is politically based, so it is no surprise that with a country singer like Adkins on he would ask about some of the hot button issues surrounding the genre. Adkins and Maher found themselves in agreement on the topic, with both men denying that either Wallen or Aldean are racist. Aldean’s controversy, the more recent of the two,…
One of country music’s true power couples. In a recent interview with Cowboys and Indians magazine, Chris Stapleton covered a wide range of topics. One of the main themes was his relationship, both personally and professionally, with his wife Morgane. The pair first met when they were both employed as songwriters at a publishing house in Nashville in 2003, when Chris was only 25 years old. In a story fit for a movie, the two’s first date (and presumably many after) was a songwriting session together. Talking about these unique nights together, Stapleton said: “She would make the joke that…
