Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” Dethrones Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” As Top Played Song On TouchTunes
Will will hate to see this go, but others will love to watch it leave. Today, Billboard announced that Chris Stapleton's longstanding TouchTunes top-played song, "Tennessee Whiskey," has been pushed out of the number one spot - which is pretty incredible, considering the song is nearly 10 years old at this point and up until recently was STILL the top song on the TouchTunes. Of course, while we all know firing up the TouchTunes after a few cold snacks can lead to killer plays (bring on all the '90s country, please), popular songs often dominate the board. "Tennessee Whiskey," while a stellar track,...
“PRAISE FOR FREEDOM” – British Dude Smiles Ear To Ear Cranking Country Music In A RAM Truck On His Way To Hooters
Welcome to America pal. There's never been a better video to showcase the beautiful, American experience. This clip of a British kid taking in all that America has to offer is going viral, and it's simply hilarious. It only took him five minutes to find out why America is the greatest country in the world. He was having suck a good time that he decided to document all of the simple pleasures he was experiences with a video, which started out facing him as the Brit said this: "I've been driving for five minutes now and I can't wipe this smile off my...
At Only 12 Years Old, Johnny Cash Dug His Own Brother’s Grave
Johnny Cash, or J.R as he was known until joining the military, had a tough childhood. He was born in Kingsland, Arkansas but his family moved to Dyess in 1935 to take advantage of a new FDR-created program to provide down on their luck farmers with a chance for success during the Great Depression. Things were okay for the Cash family at first, but trouble was brewing not that far off and in February of 1937 the Ohio River flooded, causing immense damages and loss of life in the region. That flood later inspired the song "Five Feet & Counting" and you...
Ella Langley Teases Cheeky, Boot-Stompin’ Unreleased Song “Cowboy Friends”
A boot-stomper if I've ever heard one. Ella Langley is gearing up to release her major label debut album hungover next month, and today she teased an unreleased one from the tracklist called "cowboy friends" that I LOVE. Of course, pretty much all I do every day is listen to music and talk about it, and this is easily one of the first songs I've hard lately that's caught my attention so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love her song with Riley Green "You Look Like You Love Me," which also pretty sly and humorous, but there's something about the sass level, for...
Bryson DeChambeau Insists Equipment, Not “Incalculatable” Variables, Are To Blame For Rough Open Championship Performance
Bryson DeChambeau was far from the only man to struggle in Royal Troon's inclement weather during the first round of The Open Championship, but he'll indubitably prove to have the best rationale for his woes by Thursday's end. Thanks to draining a lengthy eagle putt on the par-5 16th, Bryson salvaged a score of even par on his last 12 holes after a nightmarish start of +5 through six. While he still faces an uphill battle to make the cut, the reigning US Open champ doesn't believe he played that poorly. Rather, his equipment was to blame for the issues he...
Wolves Work Together To Steal From A Group Of Bears
There’s nothing like seeing nature at work. You might not love it, but it's hard to not be amazed by the stuff that goes on out there. These creatures are insanely smart, and have their craft figured out so well. There’s few in the animal kingdom as smart as wolves, which are known to have complex social structures that help a whole pack of them survive. These apex predators hunt and scavenge but are known to work with their pack to ensure that everyone gets fed and they have higher success working together. Being a predator, they have to compete with other...
Hunter Spots Bull Elk With Its Eye Hanging Out Of The Socket
Talk about a tough animal. These wild animals got it rough, they fight for every inch they take, and every meal they get. Elk are some of the coolest creatures out there with their unique antlers that can grow up to 6 feet long with multiple points coming off of each antler. These beast can grow over 1,000 pounds making them the second largest member of the deer family in North America. Beyond their cools looks, these elk are known for their great tasting meat, a favorite among hunters, and the intense bugle noise they make during breeding season. Elk use their...
Passengers Plug Their Ears As Flight Attendant Performs “I Will Always Love You” Over The Intercom On Nashville Flight
I see why people get angry enough to get themselves kicked off of planes now. Listen, I know everybody's different when they travel. Personally, I like to throw my headphones in, turn on a movie or a podcast, and completely ignore everything and everybody until I get off the plane. Don't talk to me, don't look at me, just let me be in my own little world for the next 2 hours. But when you go on vacation you're probably pumped up and ready to get the party started as soon as possible. Have a couple drinks on the plane and by...

The man does not stop. In the middle of his $10 Cowboy tour, celebrating and sharing the music from his latest project, Charley Crockett unveils his next album, and it is coming SOON. Only 11 weeks after the release of $10 Cowboy, Crockett announces that he is dropping the second part of the album, continuing the story through $10 Cowboy Chapter II—Visions Of Dallas.

The promotional video announcing the album shows Crockett strolling through a field with the Dallas skyline...
17 Songs From Zach Bryan’s ‘The Great American Bar Scene’ Appear On This Week’s Billboard Hot 100 Chart
17 out of 19 ain't half bad. Of course, that's sarcasm, and it's pretty incredible to see that 17 songs from Zach Bryan's new album The Great American Bar Scene have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (which encompasses all musical genres) this week. According to Billboard, four of the albums songs charted within the Top 40, including the fan-favorite "Pink Skies" at #12, as well as "28" at #14, "American Nights" at #21 and I Remember Everything,” feat. Kacey Musgraves at #22 (a previous #1 hit). All other songs fell in the Top 100, except two that didn't make the cut...
Rogue Announcer Accuses Tiger Woods Of Being On “A Lot Of Painkillers” To Start The Open Championship
This might be the most out-of-pocket utterance ever knowingly delivered by a sports announcer on the air. It's one thing to drop an F-bomb or be unprofessional if your mic's hot and you don't know it. Another thing entirely to accuse the GOAT Tiger Woods of popping a zillion pills for The Open Championship on the basis of nothing but what his eyes look like through a video monitor. https://twitter.com/NUCLRGOLF/status/1813949327221657681 No idea who this dude is. Sounds like he's from across the pond, so it's not like jet lag or time zones are presumably throwing his brain for a loop. Tiger is in...
Aaron Rodgers’ Grandfather Was A Legendary World War II B-24 Pilot Who Flew 44 Missions & Survived As POW In Nazi Germany After Being Shot Down
Veteran sportswriter Ian O'Connor has authored several notable biographies on major figures such as Bill Belichick, Mike Krzyzewski, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Derek Jeter. His next subject may be the most fascinating of all, as teased by the title: Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers. Obviously there's some cheekiness to that pre-colon line, alluding to the darkness retreat Rodgers took last offseason when he was seriously pondering retirement. Once he emerged, Rodgers opted to play for the New York Jets, only to tear his Achilles on the fourth play of the season in front of maybe the...
Zach Bryan Stunned To See Same Baby During Last Night’s Walk Out In Gillette Stadium
Three weeks later, Zach Bryan is getting the same baby fix. During Zach Bryan's first shows at Boston's Gillette Stadium, a fan in the pit went viral after holding her newborn out toward ZB as he was making his way to the stage. The entire interaction was so sweet, and Zach was so excited to hold the child and take a picture with him. Talk about one helluva story to tell your kid when they grow up. Well, now this kid has become a legend for the second time. Last night, Zach Bryan took to the stage of Gillette Stadium again, and as...
The State Of Florida Just Renamed Their Largemouth Bass Population
Well, this is a bit surprising. Largemouth bass are the most popular fishing target for anglers here in America. They're found in every state except Alaska and pretty much every kid grew up spending at least one day running hooks through nightcrawlers and bobber fishing a pond for them. I lived in Florida for a few years and can tell you first hand that the bass down there are different. Yes, they look identical but something about the size and power they strike with made for some awesome fishing trips, but it turns out I wasn't fishing for largemouth bass at all. A...
On This Date: Willie Nelson Was At #1 On The Country Albums Chart With His Iconic ‘Always On My Mind’ Album In 1982
An all-time classic. On this day in 1982, Willie Nelson was at the top of the country albums chart with his 27th studio album Always On My Mind. The record ultimately became the Billboard #1 country album of the year, spent 22 weeks at the top of the charts, and stayed for a total of 253 weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts in total. And of course, the title track became one of Willie’s signature songs and biggest hits, peaking at #1 on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart in 1982 as well. “Always On My Mind” was written by Wayne Carson, Johnny...
Koe Wetzel To Miss Headlining Appearance At Country Thunder Wisconsin Tonight Due To Illness
Bummer. Late last night, Koe Wetzel announced that he was canceling his headlining appearance at Country Thunder Wisconsin tonight due to illness. The Texas rocker has a new album called 9 Lives dropping tonight at midnight, and in a post on Instagram, he says he's disappointed he can't celebrate the new album with his fans at the show, which also includes opening performances by Stephen Wilson, Jr., Dillon Carmichael, Grace Tyler and Charlie Argo. He also promised to make it up to fans, and you can read his full statement here, which was posted to his music Instagram account, rather than his personal: "I've...
Investigators Discover Chilling Online Message Shared By Donald Trump Shooter: “July 13th Will Be My Premiere”
Last weekend, one of our nation's worst fears was realized in this divisive political climate as shots were fired at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1812251201011945868?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1812251201011945868%7Ctwgr%5E5383c805d51637b73900e99cba39dd2e41125a8f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F07%2F13%2Fshots-fired-at-former-president-donald-trump-during-pennsylvania-rally%2F In the hours and days following the incident, the story unfolded, identifying 20-year-old Thomas Crooks as the shooter. As the story developed, it was learned that multiple law enforcement officers had been briefed that Crooks was seen on the roof outside the rally's security zone. The New York Post reported that Crooks was even identified as a person of interest an hour before the shooting took place. It's hard to fathom that...
Jamey Johnson Announces Two New Songs, “What A View” & “Trudy” Featuring Randy Houser
What a blessing it is when we get new Jamey Johnson. Jamey Johnson has already blessed us with one single this year, "21 Guns," after a near-decade hiatus due to a concussion he suffered in 2010. (His last original album was The Guitar Song in 2010, and his last solo single was “You Can” in 2015.) While Johnson was no stranger to the stage over that hiatus, he was a stranger to the recording booth. I frankly think Johnson could have dropped this one single and not released anything for another few years, and fans would have been happy, but he has heard our...
Sturgill Simpson’s “Jupiter’s Faerie” Might Be The Saddest Track He’s Ever Put Out
Johnny Blue Skies' new album, Passage Du Desir, has really stuck with me. Anybody else feel the same way? It's been on a pretty consistent loop through my speakers since it debuted last Friday, and though the whole album is an absolute triumph - and a very welcome return of Sturgill Simpson underneath a different name - there's one song that's immense sadness and hopeful beauty has stood out above the rest, in my personal opinion. "Jupiter's Faerie." If you've cued up the album, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm trying not to overhype Passage Du Desir, since the fact that...
Luke Combs & Post Malone Take Over Nashville’s Broadway For Music Video & It Looked Like A Wild Scene
What are Luke Combs and Post Malone up to? Obviously, it appears that they are shooting a music video for their collaboration on Post Malone's upcoming album F-1 Trillion. But there are still a number of question marks about this new clip, like why did they decide to brave the crowded streets of Nashville's Lower Broadway... and why are they on a Porta-Potty truck? Combs and Malone are likely getting a music video together to accompany their new song "Guy For That," which has been teased, but not released. From the small part we have heard, one could describe it as a...
