Somewhere in the exurbs of farming country sits the rural version of a night club. It’s a big, corrugated tin building with a puddle-filled gravel lot, nearly indistinguishable from the welding shop next door. Live music on the weekends is courtesy of a local band playing honky-tonk rock, the thematic choice for drinkin’, flirtin’, fightin’, […]

Charley Crockett on the silver screen. There’s really no one like Charley Crockett in the music industry. He bet on himself when he self-released his debut album back in 2015, and through his hard work and persistent and consistent way of going about music, things have only gone up for him since then. And while his audience has grown considerably over the past couple years, he’s still on the tier that’s below “household name,” which makes absolutely no sense to […]

Fought for her role. Landman Season 2 is already almost over. And I can’t be the only one who felt like we were watching the premiere a few weeks ago. This season has left fans with mixed reviews, as not everyone has loved the slower plotline.

With nine #1 hits, four certified-platinum albums, two ACM Awards and an additional CMA Award for Vocal Event of the Year in 2007 for “Find Out Who Your Friends Are,” the 57-year-old singer/songwriter has consistently flown under the radar when you take a look back at his […]

The legendary Cher, 79, is not someone who backs down easily. She proved that recently when she and her ex Sonny Bono’s widow, Mary, tangled in court. They were embroiled in a long, messy legal dispute about royalties associated with hit Sonny and Cher songs from way back such as “The Beat Goes On” and […]

Zach Bryan is a songwriting machine. The country music superstar released his sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top, just last Friday. The 25-song track list has had mixed reviews so far, with some fans liking the Bruce Springsteen-inspired sound on much of the project, while others aren’t a fan of how produced this album sounds compared to Bryan’s past releases (Zach went ahead and put together an acoustic version of the album like he knew those complaints would be coming). There’s […]
