Ella is continuing to use her platform in the best way possible. There’s no doubt that the two years has been nothing short of an absolute whirlwind for Ella Langley. While most of the music world was introduced to her through the record-breaking success of “Choosin’ Texas” over the past three months, the Alabama native has been making waves in the genre for the better part of three years at this point.

Thanks to the quick action of this brave woman, a goat lived to see another day after being attacked by an apex predator.

Here in Nashville, we had a beautiful spring with almost no rain, but the past month or so has been as wet as I can remember since I moved here 10 years ago. And down in Alabama, it’s been much the same story: Yesterday, on June 8, parts of Alabama received up to 9 inches of rain, with Huntsville reporting over 7 inches […]

New music is finally on the horizon from the “No One Else On Earth” singer. Though you typically hear names such as Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and the like being named as the defining voices of country music in the late 80s and 90s, there’s no doubt that Wynonna Judd deserves to be in the same company. As we know, she and her mother, Naomi Judd, were nothing short of a power duo in the ’80s, scoring five […]

On June 11th, we’ll gather at Lucinda’s in New York City’s East Village for Welfare Music: A Tribute to the Bottle Rockets. We asked some of the artists joining us that night to reflect on the band’s legacy. Here’s what they had to say. GET TICKETS GET TICKETS

Thomas Johnson of Athens, GA’s Futurebirds talks about retiring the band’s old van “Paco” on the side of a Georgia road, rehearsing in a space that exists only in his imagination, and the TV-repair gig he took without ever being qualified for it.
