Jackson Michelson’s “Tip Jar” is out now, March 26th on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Jackson Michelson’s “Tip Jar” is available now, March 26th
Written by Michelson with Patrick Mencel and Justin Morgan, “Tip Jar” is a song about using a night out with some live music to get over a break-up. After his girlfriend ends it over a phone call, he tells her to keep his records, because he doesn’t want to listen to any music that’s going to remind him of her anyway. Instead, he heads to the bar and keeps throwing 20’s in the band’s tip jar so they’ll keep playing songs all night long and help him create new memories to in an effort to forget about her.
This song is all about losing yourself in a night out, having a good time singing and dancing to music, and worrying about everything else later on. In a recent press release, Michelson shares that “Tip Jar” is one of the most ‘me songs’ he has ever released. He adds that he feels we need fun new music now more than ever this year, and that’s exactly what “Tip Jar” is.
“I’ll toss a 20 in the tip jar // I gotta keep ‘em playing all night long // Tell all my buddies I won’t miss her // If I just keep ‘em playing all our songs // Ain’t reckless behavior, I gotta replace the // Memories we made here in this bar // And if the band can fix my broken heart // I’ll toss a 20 in the tip jar”

Carrie Underwood has released her very first gospel album titled My Savior today, March 26th. Co-produced by herself and longtime collaborator, David Garcia, Underwood brings her powerful voice and delicate delivery to the record which features 13 Christian music covers. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the project.
Carrie Underwood’s gospel album, ‘My Savior’ is available now, March 26th
Underwood is undeniably the reigning “queen of country music”, a title well-earned after having tremendous success in the industry. Her achievements include 27 number-one hits, seven platinum/multi-platinum records, and over 100 major awards (seven of which are GRAMMYs). Raised Catholic in the small town of Checotah, Oklahoma, her faith has always been a huge part of her life and career.
Underwood’s musical catalog contains crossover hits such as “Jesus Take the Wheel,” “Something in the Water,” and many others, along with her latest Christmas album, My Gift, which was more faith than commercial-based. With My Savior, the songstress continues to show her flexibility in music.
“Hymns and gospel music shaped me as an artist,” she explained in a recent press release. “They are the foundation of my career. This music isn’t about being on stage in front of a crowd; it’s about singing for the love of God.”
Underwood selected songs that she grew up listening to in church and at home, such as Fanny Crosby’s “Blessed Assurance” and Will Thompson’s “Softly and Tenderly.” NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear Rinehart provides backing vocals in her cover of Robert Lowry’s “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus,” and 12-time GRAMMY award-winning gospel artist, CeCe Winans is featured on “Great is Thy Faithfulness.”
“CeCe is legendary, and I’ve always admired her,” she admits. “It’s similar to the way I feel about Dolly Parton. I don’t remember the first time I heard her; I just feel like I’ve always known her.”
Although she decided to go in a different direction with the genre of this album, she didn’t forget to incorporate her Nashville roots. Several of the songs, especially “Victory in Jesus” and “Old Rugged Cross,” contain a heavy amount of banjo and steel guitar, giving it a traditional sound that is not prevalent in modern country.
Underwood’s powerhouse vocals are displayed in tracks such as “Because He Lives” and “How Great Art Thou.” The album closes with the widely covered anthem, “Amazing Grace,” first written by John Newton.
Underwood’s talent, versatility, and immense stardom has led to her charting on country, pop, holiday, and Christian radio. In what was a difficult 12 months for most, her goal was to spread some positivity in time for Easter through the grace of God.
“It just feels so good to get to sing these songs, and I feel so fortunate to have spent the past year with these beautiful, inspirational messages,” she said. “I hope people will hear the heart that’s in this album.”
Carrie Underwood’s ‘My Savior: Live From The Ryman’ is set for Easter Sunday, April 4th
Underwood will perform a special virtual concert featuring these songs, live from The Ryman on Easter Sunday, April 4th. The event is free to stream, but donations collected during the viewing will go to Save the Children, a leading global humanitarian organization working to improve education, economic, and healthcare opportunities for children around the world.
My Savior Tracklist:
Jesus Loves Me
Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus
Blessed Assurance
Just As I Am
Victory in Jesus
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Oh How I Love Jesus
How Great Thou Art
Because He Lives
The Old Rugged Cross
I Surrender All
Softly and Tenderly
Amazing Grace

Andrew Jannakos’ steamy new song, “Wine Country” is available now, March 26th on all streaming platforms. Written by Jannakos with Jason Afable, Eric Mallon, and Alex Pennington Smith, take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
We love a new artist that is just as talented as they are humble. Singer-songwriter, Andrew Jannakos fits the bill! After a stint on NBC’s The Voice, it was a viral TikTok that his wife posted that changed his life forever. Learn more about the singer’s journey here on our artist spotlight interview. Following up his smash “Gone Too Soon,” Jannakos just released “Wine Country.”
The new song shows off the singer’s vulnerable and sensual side. It is hard not to imagine yourself in the song, as you listen to the mesmerizing lyrics. Jannakos’ vocals are even more impressive. He manages to feel current, laid-back, and enticing all in one three-minute tune. “Wine Country” is all about romance, and the track is the ultimate advocate for country love songs.
“I could be your George Jones // Little six-string picking gonna hold on // Til the crickets stop singing pedal steel moan // You and I just swaying in the moonlight // Wanna lay you on down to some wine country // Wanna lay you on down to some wine country”
Teasing the track first on TikTok, the steamy chorus caught the attention of fans everywhere, blowing up on Jannakos’ social media channel. It is clear that the singer has an impressive fanbase to support each and every new release. We are so curious as to what a full-length project will look like from the newcomer. Until then, we know new music will be headed down the pipeline later in the year.

Dustin Lynch’s “Thinking ‘Bout You” with MacKenzie Porter is available now, March 19th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Last year, Dustin Lynch released his Tullahoma album which included a smashing duet with Lauren Alaina. Now, he re-released “Thinking ‘Bout You” as a single, featuring rising pop-country artist MacKenzie Porter.
The lyrics set the scene of a phone call between two exes reminiscing on their past. Lynch opens the verse and is pleasantly surprised by the call, citing it as “the last call I thought I’d get”. He goes on to ask different questions, such as how she is and how her mother is. In general, the story has vivid imagery, and it continues to build to a booming chorus.
“I was just thinking ’bout that weekend out on Cumberland Lake // And that one time in Baton Rouge when we made out in the rain // Where we went chasing falling stars // On a hill at your daddy’s farm // Don’t be sorry for callin’ me up right out of the blue // I was just thinking ’bout you”
When Porter comes in during the second verse, the song immediately has a different vibe. Lauren Alaina, who previously sang this verse, sounded more nostalgic, while Porter sounds more direct and more almost daring towards Lynch. It gives the song a whole new life. The two of them on the chorus sound really great together, and by the time they reach the last chorus, their voices truly soar.
“Thinking ‘Bout You” has an almost addictive groove to it. The second you hear it, you want to hear it again and again. It’s a perfect song to soundtrack your spring and summer – and hopefully soon, it’ll be amazing at a live show. For now, it’s the perfect piece of candy we need to get through the last few cold weeks of the season.

Brett Sheroky’s new song, “4 Goodyears” is available now, March 19th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Songwriter turned artist, Brett Sheroky is one of the most impressive vocalists and lyricists in the country music genre today. His previous songs “Better On Paper” and “Ain’t My Place” are emotive, captivating, and story-telling at it’s finest. His latest song, out today, “4 Goodyears” is another song that you cannot help but simply appreciate.
“4 Goodyears” is another example of why Sheroky is an exemplary songwriter and talent. His knack for telling the truth and sharing stories in songs reminds us exactly why we love this genre. The song takes us through the journey of a whirlwind love story, “going wherever the wind blows.”
Sheroky uses clever wordplay as he reminisces about a summer fling and the truck that sat on four goodyear tires that played a major role in those 3 memorable months together.
“Headlights off in an empty field // July moon in the windshield // Handprints and fogged up glass // God, I wish I could just reach back // to that rearview mirror // to those 3 good months // on those 4 goodyears”
Lyrically, the song is a masterpiece, and the nostalgia that the tune embodies is almost palpable. The love the song portrays feels hopeful, young, and innocent, even though the couple did not prevail in the end. These feelings are hard to articulate when the end isn’t what you hope for, but the singer does it effortlessly.
Overall, Sheroky is one of those singer-songwriters that truly is an artist at his core. There is no one like him in the genre, and we applaud his continuous individualism and overall impressive talent.

Lauren Davidson’s new song, “Backfire” is available now, March 19th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
We love supporting our local New York/New Jersey country artists, and Lauren Davidson is one of our favorites on the scene. Following the success of her last single, “Live In The Light,” the songstress just released a brand new song entitled “Backfire.”
The new single was written by Davidson with Adam McDonough. “Backfire” is a song that expresses both the good and bad in life. In fact, the singer-songwriter shares having faith in the future, but knowing that there’s going to be hardships along the way that she will overcome. The very realistic approach to life is both inspiring and uplifting at the same time, especially in current times.
“I light the match and wait for the backfire // Watch it burn so fast feel the flames grow higher // With every breath that I’m holding // I’m holding out for my moment // I light the match and wait for the backfire // Wait for the backfire”
According to Davidson via her social media, “the song is about rising from the ashes when things don’t go your way and making your own spark.” The track is our first introduction to the singer’s upcoming EP entitled Highlight Is 2020, slated for release later in the year.

Drew Green’s new song, “Hooch” is available now, March 19th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
One of Sony Music Nashville’s newest signees, Drew Green is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the genre. After releasing his debut EP Dirt Boy Vol. 1 back in September, fans got a taste of different sides of the charming and innovative singer-songwriter. Today, Green released a new song called “Hooch,” which plays to the fun and funky side of his musical ability.
The brand new track is a wild ride, as Green digs his heels into his traditional country roots, yet is delightfully paying homage to his modern vibes at the same time.

Alana Springsteen’s new song, “Trying Not To” with Roman Alexander is available now, March 19th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
Back in July, we interviewed a promising new talent in Nashville, Alana Springsteen. Her pop-country sound resonates with young country fans everywhere, but it was her duet “Think About You” with Filmore that stopped us dead in our tracks. Today, the songstress released another mesmerizing duet with fellow country artist, Roman Alexander. Together they created a brand new song called “Trying Not To.”
After sharing sneak peeks of the song across their social media channels, especially on TikTok, it was clear that both Springsteen and Alexander feel this new song is something special, and we agree. “Trying Not To” taps into those feelings of when you are trying to stay away from someone, but you just keep getting pulled in. That magnetism you feel is undeniable; despite, what your brain is telling you.
“But I still think about you baby // I wish it didn’t feel so right // I really wanna // tell you I don’t miss you / and really mean it / I just can’t though / I want to / but I’m trying not to”
This song honestly has the potential to be a summer anthem of just following your heart. It is clear that both Springsteen and Alexander believe in the song and its story. We’re excited to see what’s next for the two emerging artists.
