Taylor Hunnicutt & John Moreland Team Up For Powerful Duet, “Did We Forget About Love”
The collaboration we didn’t know we needed. From the outside looking in, there isn’t much in common between Taylor Hunnicutt and John Moreland. Hunnicutt is the female lead singer of a blistering hot southern rock-leaning honky tonk outfit. Though they’ve been honing their sound and touring relentlessly for quite a while now to build their brand, she and her band are one of the latest up-and-coming bands out of Alabama to catch fire, and it feels like they are on […]

Kamala Harris Won’t Rule Out Another Presidential Run
Former VP Kamala Harris lost badly in the presidential election of 2024. Maybe no Democrat could have beaten Donald Trump’s MAGA juggernaut.
