Is “Nutshell” Billy Strings’ best cover? It’s certainly up for debate, but I think it might be. At least amongst the non-bluegrass covers that have found a spot in his seemingly endless collection of songs from which his setlists are composed, “Nutshell” is up there at the top. For anyone who may not be familiar, covers of other artist’s songs are as much a part of Billy Strings’ live show as his originals. As is often the case with jam […]

I mean, she had to do it. This afternoon, Kacey Musgraves played the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, headlining the Mojave tent, where she played a total of 13 songs, with some of them of course being from her forthcoming sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, which Musgraves produced alongside longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk.

I guess the good news for Denny is he’ll have to catch him first. It’s no secret that it’s been a tough couple of years for two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. Busch moved to Richard Childress Racing back in 2023 after 15 seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing, and initially it seemed like things were going to work out well for both sides with three wins in the first 15 races. But since then, things have gone south for […]

She just does not miss. Ashley McBryde’s fifth studio album Wild is set to be released on Friday, May 8th, and it will consist of an 11-song tracklist, featuring already-released songs like “Bottle Tells Me So,” “Arkansas Mud,” “Rattlesnake Preacher” and “What If We Don’t.” They’ve all been great songs, it’s shaping up to be a very impressive album already (not that I expected anything less, of course) and her latest release “Lines In The Carpet” is another heaping does of honesty and […]

They have already confirmed that Season 2 is set to air this fall, and according to Grimes, they’re going to deliver at least 18 episodes for Season 2, and possibly 20, which will […]
