For years now the indomitable Marty Stuart has been teasing us mercilessly about a surf guitar album or some sort of instrumental work that he’s had in the can, but divulging only scant details.

They also charted in Rock and Americana.

In 10 years and 11 days of owning and operating Saving Country Music dot com, I have never once seen someone display such bold-faced effrontery and wanton disrespect for the gorgeous and historic institution of country music as this wash up and his $50,000 diamond-encrusted gauge earrings.

121 Comments

So here we go again. Another new Jason Aldean album, and another machine gunning of blistering arena rock guitars, braggadocios rural boy aphorisms, self-aggrandizing affirmations of what a badass he is, with very little substance or sincerity delivered between the lines to find enriching. But let’s also give Jason Aldean some due credit.

When we saw the expansive list of performances scheduled for the 2018 ACM Awards Sunday night (4-15) in Las Vegas, we knew something would need to be axed from the presentation to make room. During most every awards show in the modern era, performers and dignitaries of note who have passed away in the last year are honored.

At Least The 2018 ACM Awards Will Have Alan Jackson

Everything is better with a little bit of Alan Jackson. Even if it is just a full-sized cardboard cutout of him from the 90’s with a mullet pouring out of the back of his cowboy hat stuck in the corner of a record store, his mere presence reminds you of a time when popular country music didn’t completely suck.

Album Review – El Coyote’s Self-Titled Debut

23 Comments

We’re blessed to live in a time period when there are plenty of woman-led singing duos, trios, and quartets to peruse for your listening pleasure. But the one issue a lover of female harmonies who also happens to be a lover of country music will find is they often veer way more folk than what you’re hoping for. Enter the band El Coyote …

Twitter Trolling Is Hurting, Not Helping The Cause For Women At Country Festivals

40 Comments

“Just book more women! Why is this so hard?” This is the question many women artists and their fans ask when the lineups of certain festivals in country music and beyond are released, and there is a clear imbalance between the amount of male and female performers, or in certain circumstances, no women performers at all.
