R&B artist, Ne-Yo, will soon release his first country music project. He’s one of many artists that have decided to try their hand at the country genre in recent years. Post Malone came over from pop and hip-hop and was welcomed with open arms when he released F-1 Trillion in 2024. And one could say that Beyoncé paved the way for Ne-Yo to make the move from R&B to country with her Cowboy Carter album, which won Album of the […]

Bass Prop Shops REDCREST, the Super Bowl of the Major League Fishing, just wrapped up at Missouri’s legendary Table Rock Lake, and man, was it a mixed bag of tricks we saw from some of the best bass anglers in the world. Table Rock is know for being a large, diverse fishery with miles and miles of shoreline, and generally, little to no grass. A clear water reservoir that offers the trifecta of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, we saw […]

Keith Urban has officially teased his “Yacht Rock Era.” If you did a double take, I don’t blame you. I did the same when I first heard that the prolific guitarist and country music artist was changing things up after his divorce from actress Nicole Kidman. He’s taking his talents to the underrated, under-appreciated genre of yacht rock (at least for a little while). If you’ve never heard of the style of music before, it originated and became popular in […]

Nashville could really use a win when it comes to these national rankings and reports. Every time Music City is included in some sort of wide spread survey or ranking, it doesn’t go well. At the very least, it doesn’t ever feel like it does. That being said, Nashville continues to be one of the premiere tourist destinations in the United States. 17.4 million people visited Nashville in 2025, and that annual visitor number is expected to gradually increase in […]

What changed? I’m sure there are plenty of artists who have songs from early in their career that haven’t aged well or that they wish they could take back. And there are songs out there that would never have a shot at getting played on the radio in the year of our Lord 2026. One of those songs (that I wrote about last year) is probably Brad Paisley‘s “I’m Still A Guy.” Co-written by Brad along with Kelley Lovelace and […]

That is what “Vengeance and Grace” is about—attacking those parts of yourself that present self-defeating weaknesses, but also not being so hard on yourself (or others) that you veer into self-destruction.

Talk about laying it all out on the line. Is it possible for a fan in the stands to have the catch of the year in Major League Baseball? Yes, I know that the pro athletes out on the field make extraordinary plays look routine. But I’m telling you… this video of a fan catching a foul ball at the Colorado Rockies-San Diego Padres game is one of the most impressive grabs I’ve ever seen. Anyone that has ever attended […]

Following two independent sets, including the enchanting Early Mountain Songs, Kiki Cavazos releases Goodbye Blues via Brooklyn-based Jalopy Records. Her new songs, much like previous tracks, are memorable for their mythic narratives, detailed imagery, and hard-won wisdom. Most notable, however, is Cavazos’ timeless voice, which evokes the essence of

The Milk Carton Kids Lost Cause Lover Fool It seems like The Milk Carton Kids have been around kind of forever. They’ve been a fixture on the Americana scene for 15 years, since they self-released their first album, Prologue, in 2011. But their quiet, folky sound dates back to a time well before they, or […]
