Trouble in the deep blue… Last month, Ernest released what many (including us) are calling his career-best album Deep Blue. Featuring the island sounds reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett mixed with his traditional southern country, Ernest explained during an appearance on our Whiskey Riff Raff podcast that the album is a maturation of his debut project from 2019: “It’s kind of a grown-up version of the first project I put out called ‘Locals Only,’ which was all heavily inspired by and largely written […]

If the Ryman is the mother church of country music, North Hollywood’s Palomino was its tent revival/medicine show cousin–a lot more raucous, less bound to tradition, but with no less passion about its spiritual foundation. I had the good fortune last week to attend a private screening of the soon-to-be-released documentary, simply called The Palomino, […]

There was almost a sequel to Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The 2006 NASCAR film poking fun at the sport and the culture around it is widely considered to be one of the best comedy films of all time. The all-star cast of Will Ferrell, John C.

Wasting zero time. For all intents and purposes, the 61st annual ACM Awards were a hit. Though there were your standard snubs, with Turnpike Troubadours absent from the Group of the Year nominees and Eric Church getting left off the Album of the Year list for Evangeline vs. the Machine, it was a bit of a refreshing list of winners. Notably, Ella Langley made history by taking home a staggering 7 awards for Female Artist of the Year, Artist-Songwriter of the Year, […]

We’re just about halfway through 2026 and for me, the bass fishing has been GOOD. There is nothing quite like the feeling of unboxing a brand new reel, spooling it up with fresh line, and making that very first cast. And with ICAST 2026 coming up next month, there is going to be a whole mess of new bass reels hitting the market in the next 6 months or so. It can be pretty overwhelming to find the perfect reel, […]

Welp… this black bear showcasing its stellar climbing ability is both an impressive and pretty terrifying sight to see. It’s estimated that around 400,000 bears live in the United States, and in certain parts of the country, residents have to always be on alert and keep an eye out for bears. Black bears make up most of that total number (around 300,000), and one place where they are often spotted is Glacier National Park. Wildlife is abundant there, as over […]
