The last time we heard new music from Eric Church, it was when he unexpectedly dropped ‘Mr. Misunderstood’ now over 2 1/2 years ago. The news comes after it was revealed earlier this week that Eric Church’s younger brother Brandon passed away at the age of 36. Brandon Church was also a songwriter.

Album Review – Chris Hennessee’s “Ramble”

29 Comments

‘Ramble’ is just how damn enjoyable it is to listen to. So many songwriters these days get too swept up in one-upping the competition with their compositions. This approach has resulted in some great songs, but we sometimes forget that music is there to be heard and enjoyed. A record like ‘Ramble’ reminds you of that.

83 Comments

In the last 73 weeks of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, there have only been five total songs to crest the chart. That means that over the past 1 1/2 years, two songs have occupied the chart’s top spot 89% of the time. And those two artists very specifically benefit from pop attention.

Now that so many fans made the trek last year and were happy to report it was no Fyre Fest—it was perhaps one of the best festivals they’ve ever attended—they’ll be lining up for tickets this year too, especially with such an impressive 2nd year lineup.

Darius Rucker’s Take on Drivin’ N’ Cryin’s “Straight to Hell”

132 Comments

You complain that the songs from today’s top country stars are no good and they should start cutting songs that are halfway decent like the ones your favorite independent and underground artists play … until they attempt to do that very thing, and come across like total dork asses.

25 Comments
rhyan-sinclair

The 17-year-old Rhyan Sinclair proves this Kentucky wave of country music is no anomaly. It’s broad-based, and multi-generational. She like a chute of new country music life rising from the soil. But don’t slot her as just another name in a gaggle of artists emerging from Kentucky. She has the voice, the style, and songwriting to stand out.

“What Whiskey Does” is a return of Randy Houser to his more original form, and for the better. This is the Randy Houser who had built a fan base who would back bite you when you mentioned Randy’s participation in “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” or other offenses, and assure you he was true country.

This is all especially concerning since Country Music USA is the basis of the new Ken Burns film on country music, which will reach a much wider audience than this final chapter, and like all Ken Burns films, be referenced by many generations to come as a master work of country music history.

20 Comments

Willie Nelson calls Frank Sinatra a “close friend,” and the two played shows together in Las Vegas, and even once recorded a PSA for NASA together. “I learned a lot about phrasing listening to Frank,” Willie says. “He didn’t worry about behind the beat or in front of the beat, or whatever – he could sing it either way…”

Cody Jinks Speaks to Everyday Struggles in New Song “Lifers”

37 Comments
cody-jinks

If you’re looking for reasons why Cody Jinks has accrued such a rabid, dedicated, and wide fan base—including the many who refer to themselves as “Flockers”—it’s because he writes and records songs that feel like they were composed exclusively for them, ripped right out of their personal narratives, with people & characters that feel like family.
