Lainey Wilson Empowers Little Girls, Crowns A “Cowgirl Of The Night” During Each Show Of ‘Country’s Cool Again Tour’
Lainey Wilson is not only making moves as a bada** woman in country music but is also uplifting the youth of tomorrow. Growing up in this world as a girl can be cruel, and we have heard stories from Lainey Wilson fans about being bullied for embracing that they love a Western flare in fashion or being knocked down for chasing a dream others might not see. Heck, I know even for myself that when I told my parents I wanted to chase a crazy dream, like becoming a country music blogger it came with a slight head tilt. But, while I...
Jamey Johnson Turns On The Charm With New Single “What A View” & Shares Soulful Cover Of “Trudy” With Randy Houser
Jamey Johnson is back and letting the world know he still is one of the best in the business. Following a hiatus of writing after a concussion, Jamey Johnson stepped back into the recording booth earlier this year, giving fans what they have long been begging for... new music. In an interview clip, Johnson shared that he has been spending a lot of free time in the studio, so I think Johnson will consistently produce new music in the future. "Lately, I've been spending it all (downtime) in the studio. It's just been such a long time, and I really wanted to write...
Kacey Musgraves Grapples With The Pain Of An “Irish Goodbye” In Beautifully Sad New Single
Deeper into the well. Today, Kacey Musgraves released a song called "Irish Goodbye," from the forthcoming deluxe edition of her fifth studio album released earlier this year Deeper Well titled Deeper Well: Deeper into the Well. Written by Kacey along with album co-producers Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, the production leans heavily into the Celtic influence that can be heard throughout original album, and is only enhanced by the fact that it's a play on the phrase "Irish goodbye." That term used for someone who leaves a party, or event, without saying goodbye to anyone, and it's usually used in jest and in a...
New Jersey Angler In A Jon Boat Hooks Tuna, Gets Pulled For Miles Before Landing The 135-Pound Fish
When you think of tuna fishing I'm betting you don't think of New Jersey but just this week an angler made an incredibly rare catch in Raritan Bay. Most Garden State tuna are found in the south near Toms Canyon and Lindenkohl Canyon, both almost off the Delaware coast, so when Steve Nosti gassed up his Jon boat and hit the water that separates Jersey from Staten Island, while he may of dreamed of bringing in a tuna, the chances were slim to none. But as fate would have it, he happened to spot one near the beach so he pulled out...
Largest Grizzly Bear In Yellowstone National Park Stirs Up Dust Near Yellowstone River
That's one big bear. To be specific, it's grizzly bear 791, and it lives in non other than Yellowstone National Park. The Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) in Yellowstone does their best to capture and radio-collar a lot of the bear population within the national park in order to track them, and this one in particular is numbered 791. And is estimated to be over 600 pounds, which easily makes it one of the largest bears in the entire park. Its sheer size - along with its massive, sharp claws - helps to explain why it was stirring up so much dust...
Benjamin Tod Announces Solo Album ‘Shooting Star’ With Defiant Lead Single “I Ain’t The Man”
Nashville has changed quite a bit over the years, and Benjamin Tod has been on the front lines of it all. When he began busking on the streets of Lower Broadway as a teenager, the sound, culture, and people that called Nashville home were quite bit different than they are now, and while the new has surely taken over, mixing the old with the new doesn't always go over well. That's the crux of Tod's brand new single "I Ain't The Man." As prolific an artist as it gets, Tod has been writing, releasing, and performing authentic country music with reckless abandon...
Zach Bryan Fan Rushes Stage In New Orleans: “I Got No F**king Idea Who That Was”
He wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Last night, Zach Bryan continued on his electric Quittin' Time Tour, taking the stage in the Big Easy. The New Orleans crowd brought the wild spirit of the Mardi Gras state to the arena, as one fan decided he wanted to have a shining moment on stage with Bryan. During the set, one fan impressively rushed the stage, making it all the way to Bryan and his band. The young man runs up to Bryan, who turns and looks beyond confused. With his arms in the air, the kid sticks out his hand to shake ZB's. Bryan, who...
Riley Green Is Over Relationship Drama In Funny New Single, “Rather Be”
A summer jam. Today, Riley Green released a new song called "Rather Be," which was written by Dan Isbell and Randy Montana and is the first release from Riley since he put out his Way Out Here EP in April of this year. In terms of the content, it's a pretty straightforward and funny tune I think many guys will relate to, where he basically lists off all the places he would "rather be" than listening to his girlfriend b***h at him for leaving clothes on the floor and things of that nature: "When I hear you bitch at me, It makes me think...
Post Malone Calls On Luke Combs For New Single “Guy For That”
The Post Malone country era continues... To be honest, I've haven't exactly been overwhelmed by what Post Malone has released so far ahead of his upcoming F-1 Trillion album. Don't get me wrong, every song has been a pop country banger, catchy as all hell, but... when Post was laying down Sturgill covers with Dwight Yoakam's band, rocking Tyler Childers t-shirts, and kicking it with Billy Strings, I was expecting a little more traditional country flavor. Of course, the jury is still out on what the rest of the 18-track record will be like, or who else is even on it, so...
Don’t Miss Meg McRee’s Soulful Cover Of “Texas Sun”
Meg McRee has been on a tear with the covers lately, and trust me, you don't want to miss out on it. An up and coming artist out of Nashville who needs to be on your radar, McRee has gained a reputation as one of the scene's most underrated songwriters. Well respected by her peers, McRee's songwriting chops have earned her the opportunity to collaborate with some of Nashville's best, and with how good her original music is, it's just a matter of time until larger audiences begin to take note. But in addition to her growing catalog of amazing original music,...
Jim Harbaugh Clearly Doesn’t Skip Leg Day, Pulls Chargers Player By Resistance Band While Wearing Cleats
Good lord I love that Jim Harbaugh is back in the NFL. Enough with all the pancaking predominantly cupcake opponents into oblivion at the college level. It's frankly beneath Jim. He just had to win a national championship to move back to the pros. Respect. He got it done. Now we can move on with our lives, because the NFL has missed Jim Harbaugh. And so have the Los Angeles Chargers and their sh*t show of a coaching carousel of recent memory. To set the tone at training camp, Harbaugh took to the podium to liken the NFL's dog days of summer...
Country Music’s Officially Unofficial Summer Olympics 2024 Roster
Ladies and gentlemen, the opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympic games is less than 24 hours away. Even though I'm a big baseball fan I can admit that July and August get a bit tough with the lack of sports to watch but every four years one of the oldest traditions in world history comes around to save us from the stupor of summer heat. This year's events will be held in Paris and towns in the surrounding greater metro area, with surfing taking place in Tahiti. The opening ceremony will be the first ever not hosted in a stadium and...
The Only Way The Raiders Can Cope With Patrick Mahomes’ Greatness Is Making Fun Of Him With A Kermit Doll At Camp
If revenge is a dish best served cold, Patrick Mahomes is about to Arctic kabob the Las Vegas Raiders after this tasteless training camp stunt. Come on, Raiders. As if stunting on Mahomes during a pick-six in the very last game the Kansas City Chiefs played in and lost — true fact, look it up, I did — you're poking the figurative bear even more. And that figurative bear quite literally owns you. And the best defensive counterpart you have to thrust out on the field opposite him is whomever wins the Pain Olympics quarterback competition between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner...
“All In” – Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Rambled Through A Nonsensical Press Conference Where He Related Himself To Patrick Mahomes
Jerry Jones rambling through a press conference and being nonsensical and borderline unintelligible? It's clear that it's probably time for him to step away from his football duties with the Dallas Cowboys... because it's time for him to run for president. The soon-to-be 82-year-old was speaking with the media today during Dallas Cowboys training camp, and objectively speaking, he didn't make a whole lot of sense in what he was saying (or trying to say). If you were to ask Jerry Jones how he felt about what he said, he'd likely tell you he nailed it. But watching these videos from...
Lainey Wilson Lived In A Camper In Her Friend’s Yard For Three Years After Moving To Nashville
You gotta respect the hustle from artists who do it the right way. Nashville's always been known as a "ten year town," meaning that it takes artists 10 years from the time they get to Nashville before they have any real level of success. But now we're living in a time when singers can post a video on TikTok, have it go viral, and all of a sudden they have a record deal and are opening for whichever tour their label can get them on. When you see those artists in concert though, the crowd (or whatever crowd they can manage to draw)...
Not-So-Shocking Study Finds That Carolina Panthers Fans Are The Most Miserable Fanbase In The NFL
Did we really need a study to confirm this? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that the worst team in the NFL will have the most miserable fanbase to go along with it. The putrid 2-15 record that the Carolina Panthers boasted last year nearly broke their country star super fan Luke Combs, who before the season said his team would go undefeated and that "Bryce Young was the guy." Luke Combs, meet "Freezing Cold Takes." A survey conducted by Casino.org (sounds a little fishy to me) set out to explore fan happiness of every professional sports team, and found that...
15 Of The Most Controversial Songs In Country Music History
It seems like everything's controversial these days. No matter what you say or do, there's pretty much always going to be somebody who gets mad at you for it (usually somebody hiding behind a keyboard). Country music is no exception - and it's not just a recent thing, either. And I'm not just talking about the controversies over pop-leaning vs. traditional country, or artists saying dumb stuff unrelated to their music that gets them in hot water (not mentioning any names here). There have been quite a few songs themselves that have stirred up controversy over the years because of their content. A lot...
NFL’s Highest-Paid Wide Receiver Justin Jefferson Lives In A Modest, $405K Townhouse: “I’m 1 Person, I Don’t Need No $10 Million Mansion”
Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson might be the highest paid wide receiver in the league, but you wouldn't know it if you looked at his home. Of all the exciting looks behind the curtain with Netlfix's Receiver docuseries - which followed the likes of George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Davante Adams, Amon Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson - one of the most shocking moments had to be the reveal of Jefferson's modest home in Minnesota. Jefferson, who signed a four-year, $140 million contract this past June, gets paid $35 million a year - which edges out about half of the quarterback annual...
Texas Assistant Football Coach Jeff Banks Ties The Knot With Ex-Stripper Girlfriend, “Pole Assassin”
This wedding has been coming for a long time. Back in 2021, Texas assistant football coach and special teams coordinator Jeff Banks was getting quite the press for a lawsuit involving a child being bit by a monkey. Banks and his then-girlfriend, Danielle Thomas, were involved in a high-profile lawsuit after Thomas' monkey bit a child in their backyard during a Halloween event. According to the then lawsuit, a child was trick-or-treating in a neighborhood where Banks and Thomas were hosting a haunted house for neighbors and other children to go through. At the end of the haunted house, the children were...
Eric Church Had To Carry His Son 500 Yards With A Broken Shoulder After A Snowmobile Accident Last Year
Man, I can't even imagine the fear a parent would feel in this situation. Eric Church is known for his signature aviators, but last year he was seen sporting a new accessory: A sling on his left arm. Church made an appearance at The Masters wearing the sling on his arm. https://twitter.com/EASPORTSPGATOUR/status/1642688007135215618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1642688007135215618%7Ctwgr%5Ec8dfe1fb65d2366aec64d39d90459aa8eefe9134%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fkicks99.com%2F2023%2F04%2F03%2Feric-church-won-road-to-the-masters-invitational%2F And during a headlining performance at Tortuga Music Festival, Church started out with his arm wrapped up but quickly ditched the sling, telling the crowd that they were going to become part of his rehab. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrCuQoZMBoC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link And during an interview, Church is opening up about his injury - and the terrifying moments that followed. Church...
