Featuring Tyler Childers, Red Clay Strays, Luke Combs & More, ‘Twisters: The Album’ Is Poised To Be The Soundtrack Of The Year
ADVISORY: YOU ARE PREPARING TO READ ABOUT A CONTENDER FOR MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK OF THE YEAR. Proceed with caution as listeners will want to play each song at max volume, blowing out eardrums nationwide. Today, Twisters hit theaters, and the follow-up to the 1996 blockbuster Twister has been all of the buzz on the cinematic scene along with the country music scene. Twisters: The Album is the definition of stacked. With previously released singles from Jelly Roll, Tyler Childers, Miranda Lambert, Wyatt Flores & Jake Kohn, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and more, many wonder how it gets better...but it does. The remainder of the...
Morgan Wade Loses “Total Control” And Goes All-In On Love With New Song From “Obsessed”
Shaping up to be an incredible album. Today, Morgan Wade released another beautiful song from her forthcoming album Obsessed called "Total Control." Written by Wade, it's an admission that she's ready to let go of everything and allow an all-consuming love to take over. It's also the album opener, and a strong way to kick it off... I think each release just keeps getting better, truly: "I'm tired out here on the road I've spent too many nights on my own Every way I turn just feels wrong I'm tired out here on the road And I can't get close enough to you I might crush your bones With the power...
Ingrid Andress’ Music Sees 50% Listenership Spike After Botched National Anthem Performance
Any publicity is good publicity, right? While Ingrid Andress is presumably in rehab, her music is being listened to now more than ever before. The only explanation, as strange as it may sound, is that the negative attention she received when she botched her national anthem performance at the MLB Home Run Derby has spun into positive results. In case you somehow missed the viral moment, the country artist performed the "Star Spangled Banner" in a way that has been deemed one of the worst national anthem performances of all time. And that's saying a lot considering what Fergie did to the...
Final ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Trailer Shows Off Major Cameo, Possibly Teases Spider-Man
LFG indeed. Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters everywhere next week, and sometimes final trailers can be just that extra nudge too far where some plot details are spoiled, and those who'll be seated Day 1 are a tad disappointed to have compulsively watched it. Ryan Reynolds and Co. are smarter than that, though. Deadpool himself is a self-aware character, so making the noob move of spoiling too much in the last trailer, so close to release, would be the ultimate faux pas. After that epic Super Bowl teaser and the next trailer, I could've done without this one, but here we are! https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1814298338105405516 The...
George Strait Raises A Glass With “Three Drinks Behind” From Upcoming Album ‘Cowboys & Dreamers’
The King of Country Music is back with another single, and it'll have you wanting to pour a drink in no time. The third track released thus far from George Strait's next album Cowboys and Dreamers, which is set to be released on September 6, "Three Drinks Behind" is relaxing, easy on the ears and mind tune that is perfect for summer, much like his previous single "MIA Down in MIA." Cleverly penned by Benji Gaither, Kim Williams, and Jeff Silvey, and impeccably delivered by the king himself, "Three Drinks Behind" sheds some light hearted perspective that may be just what you...
Koe Wetzel Gives Fans A Deeper Look At The Musician, And The Man, On New Studio Album ‘9 Lives’
The 9 Lives, and many different sides, of Koe Wetzel. Today, the Texas rocker released his fifth studio album 9 Lives (six if you count 2015's Out on Parole), which is equally an evolution in his sound as it is a signal that, once again, Koe is an artist who does what he wants and stays true to himself and his current inspirations. Yes, it's safe to say this album is not a repeat of his breakout record Harold Saul High, nor is it full of sad songs stuck in the wake of a breakup like 2022's Hell Paso. It's fresh, it's...
Donald Trump Calls Jason Aldean “The Biggest Star In Country Music” – But Says He Likes His Wife Brittany Better
I mean, a nice sentiment but maybe a little bit of an exaggeration... Jason Aldean is one of the most outspoken supporters of Donald Trump in country music. The two have spent time together in the past, with Trump even once introducing Aldean at a New Years Eve party as "number one in the world." Let's take a look back at that introduction from the president: “Right now, he’s the number one in the world, he won every award last week, he won every award last year… he’s gotta be making a fortune, Brittany, what do you think? Ladies and gentleman, number one in...
Waylon Jennings On The Difficulty Of Connecting With A Festival Crowd: “Girls Start Taking Clothes Off, How Do You Sing To That?”
Some wise words from Waylon Jennings. The man who might as well have been the mascot of the "Outlaw Country" movement always shot things straight. Nowadays, when you see celebrities and artists do interviews, all they give are safe, cookie-cutter answers. It's basically just an organized, orchestrated press release. But that's not how Waylon rolled. Anytime Jennings sat down for an interview, he spoke from the heart and he rarely ever - if at all - sugarcoated things. In this old interview from 1983, Waylon touched on a number of big-ticket topics, ranging from the "Nashville machine" to Hells Angels motorcycle club. He gave...
Watching The Crowd Try To Dance To Kid Rock Performing “American Bad A**” At The RNC Is Must-See TV
Love him or hate him, Kid Rock knows how to put on a show. The American Badass has been one of the most outspoken supporters of President Donald Trump, and the two have even been spotted on the golf course together in the past. https://twitter.com/KidRock/status/1109574447445536768 This past Saturday, after the attempted assassination of Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Kid Rock (whose real name is Bob Ritchie) had a strong message of support for the 45th president and current Republican nominee: https://twitter.com/KidRock/status/1812488029186953493 And tonight, ol' Kid Rock took center stage at the Republican National Convention for a special performance for his favorite president. Kid Rock...
Jason Aldean & His Wife Brittany Spotted Sitting Beside Donald Trump At Republican National Convention
Hanging out with the pres. Jason Aldean is one of the most outspoken supporters of Donald Trump in country music. The two have spent time together in the past, with Trump even once introducing Aldean at a New Years Eve party as "number one in the world." Let's take a look back at that introduction from the president: “Right now, he’s the number one in the world, he won every award last week, he won every award last year… he’s gotta be making a fortune, Brittany, what do you think? Ladies and gentleman, number one in the world, number one in our country, Mr....
Top Debut Albums Of 2024… So Far
Artists like Shane Smith & the Saints, Zach Top, and Charley Crockett, among so many others, have already released fantastic records this year, and there are plenty more new projects to come from some of the genre's best. One thing that always seems to pleasantly surprise me, though, is just how many spectacular debut albums there each year. I mean, artists don’t always come out swinging with such spectacular work in their first full length projects, but for whatever reason, there have been so many young artists and new groups that have come out with truly impressive debut projects lately. So, in...
Grizzly Bear Gets Released Back Into The Wild, Turns Around & Violently Attacks Cage
If there's one thing you for sure don't want to mess with, it's an angry grizzly bear. The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks department released compilation footage of grizzlies that they were releasing back into the wild late last year. Some of them were just typical relocations, while others were being moved into different areas for Montana's Augmentation Program, which they described as "an effort to maintain the grizzly bear population in that ecosystem." Some of the bruins that were cooped up simply walked - or ran - out of the holding box and back into their natural habitat. Obviously, wild animals...
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry Spends Nearly $250,000 A Year On His Body
Yeah, you read that headline right. He's a Baltimore Raven now. I'm sure seeing the 6'3", 250-pound running back in the same backfield as the shifty Lamar Jackson will be shocking, but not as shocking as the amount of moolah that Henry expenses on himself to keep his body in peak physical form on an annual basis. A recent report from the Athletic put the price tag for all that King Henry spends on his body just shy of a quarter of a million dollars. The former Alabama Crimson Tide standout and longtime Tennessee Titan just picked up his life - and...
Bruce Springsteen Scores His First-Ever Hit On The Country Charts Thanks To Zach Bryan
The Boss making his country chart debut. Of course Bruce Springsteen is a legend (I know he's controversial these days, but there's no denying the impact he's had). So it's a little surprising that he's never had a hit on the country charts, although his career has been almost entirely rock. But thanks to Zach Bryan, Springsteen just found himself on the country charts for the first time. "Sandpaper," Springsteen's collab on Zach's latest album The Great American Bar Scene, debuted at #26 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. In fact, all 19 tracks from the record made the chart, along with "I Remember Everything" from...
“Thanks To John Denver For Paving The Way” — MGK And Jelly Roll Tease New Song Inspired By “Take Me Home, Country Roads”
Looks like MGK is going country... or something of the sort. Today, Machine Gun Kelly, who now goes by simply “MGK,” shared a teaser on Instagram featuring his friend Jelly Roll that interpolates part of John Denver's iconic song and country standard, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" They shared a short video with it too, which is seemingly from a forthcoming music video, with an almost-exact melody as Denver's and similar lyrics that go: "Take me home, lonely road." I'll be honest, I'm really skeptical about it with the Denver aspect of it all, because it's dangerous for any artist to use the music...
“I’m Done” – Shark Steals Florida Paddle Board Fisherman’s Catch
You have to really love fishing to go out in the middle of an ocean on a souped-up paddle board to do it. If you're going to brave the wide open water of the sea, don't you think you'd be more comfortable in a larger, sturdier vessel? Not only would it be more practical and more comfortable, it would be... hmm, I don't know, SAFER. This Instagram user by the name of Austin Craver apparently likes to live life - and fish - on the edge. A video posted by the Florida angler earlier this week showed a souped-up fishing paddle board...
A NASCAR Spotter Once Had His Credentials Revoked For Dropping A Sandwich Off The Roof At The Brickyard 400
I guess you could say they told him to...hit the bricks? (Sorry, that was a Brickyard 400 pun, I couldn't resist). NASCAR is back at one of the most historic tracks in all of motorsports, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this weekend. And for the first time since 2020, the NASCAR Cup Series will be racing on the 2.5 mile long oval after being moved to the road course from 2021-2023. The Brickyard 400 has been a crown jewel event for NASCAR since its inception in 1994, and has brought some pretty wild moments over the years as drivers have competed for the opportunity to...
Jelly Roll Releases “Dead End Road,” Adding To An Already Jam-Packed Country Soundtrack For ‘Twisters’
Jelly Roll with another high-energy anthem. The Nashville native knows how to make a toe-tapping track. There's no doubt about that, and you can reference "Halfway To Hell" or "Need a Favor" if you aren't familiar with the rapper-turned-country-star's work. This time around, he crafted a song specifically for the new Twisters blockbuster titled "Dead End Road." The new Twister reboot is tracking to be one of the highest earning movies of the summer. Some might say it's the visual effects and the enthralling story line (and Glen Powell) that's driving that success, but I've got another idea as to why the...
Kid Rock Set To Perform At Republican National Convention Ahead Of President Trump’s Speech Tonight
Kid Rock at the RNC. Earlier today, he shared a video on the tarmac of an airport, saying that he had just arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to attend the Republican National Convention, which has been in session since Monday. Of course, tonight is the biggest and final night of the event, with former President Donald Trump set to formally address the crowd, and the country, for the first time since the assassination attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday afternoon. Kid didn't say he would be performing, though he hinted at it and you can pretty much bet that's...
Former FGL Member Brian Kelley To Release New Song “Make America Great Again” & I Bet Tyler Hubbard Is Gonna Love It
Brian Kelley looking to tap into his Republican roots with this new one. The former Florida Georgia Line member is set to release a brand new track next Friday titled "Make America Great Again." There's no telling where he came up with the name for that one, or what the song might be about... but I bet Tyler Hubbard is gonna love it. Kelley has been present at the 2024 Republic National Convention, which is currently taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He performed his solo hit "American Spirit" during last night's proceedings while the UNC frat members that went viral for protecting...
