The Frontmen are sharing two new songs for country fans including, “It Was Always You” and “God Blessed Texas,” out now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new songs here.
Back in March, The Frontmen officially signed with BMG/BBR Music Group. The trio comprised of Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas) and Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), are absolute veterans in the country music industry. Combining their talents into an exciting new act is exactly what we all needed. Today, The Frontmen release two new songs,”It Was Always You” and “God Blessed Texas.”
On “It Was Always You,” The Frontmen bring their iconic voices to center stage. The song feels nostalgic and like coming home upon listening. It also feels stage-ready, clearly something that The Frontmen know a thing or two about. Similarly, on “God Blessed Texas,” The Frontmen prime a song that is fun and made for the live show. High-energy and uptempo, “God Blessed Texas” is a song that is hard not to sing and dance along to, even after just one listen.
The Frontmen are proving their staying power with each and every release. The veterans are breathing new life into the music we all need! Stay tuned for their debut EP, coming soon!

Erin Kirby shares new single, “Redneck Rich,” out now, August 11th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Erin Kirby is a talented, young country artist, who blossoms with each and every release she puts out. Her brand new song, “Redneck Rich” is an ode to country living, the way she grew up, and the genre as a whole.
On “Redneck Rich” Kirby celebrates the notion that being “rich” does not have one definition. Money is not the only way to be rich. We can experience richness through all of life’s offerings. Throughout the song, Kirby sings about all the gifts we receive from country-living. It is clear the songstress knows a thing or two about appreciating the lifestyle.
“I got a creek out back with a honey hole // A Labrador and an ol zebco // A shotgun, rifle. and a 45 / In a truck that’s stuck in four-wheel drive // It isn’t much, but that’s all the stuff I need // Sling a little mud way out in the sticks // Raise one up if you’re redneck rich”
Kirby shines on this anthemic new single. “Redneck Rich” comes at the perfect time, as we are all still holding on to summer and all the fun that we can still have.

Kelsea Ballerini reimagines her heartfelt last EP with a new version called Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good), out now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new project here.
Earlier this year, Kelsea Ballerini surprised fans with a new EP and short film called Rolling Up The Welcome Mat. While the record was intended to be a therapeutic and creative outlet for Ballerini, fans fell in love with each and every song on the raw and honest record. Breathing new life into the project, the singer-songwriter is sharing a new version of the project for fans. She calls the new record Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good).
“I thought when Alysa and I were making Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, it was something I would release and never revisit. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, and that wasn’t the point of the music. Now, in hindsight and with a full heart, I want all those people who came alongside me and supported this album to know that I will never be able to fully express my gratitude, but (For Good) is my best attempt,” shared Ballerini in a recent press release. “And I also want them to know: we move on. The best part of Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) is knowing I don’t need to talk about this stuff anymore. My whole life is ahead of me, so this expanded version is to let people know there’s real freedom in breaking down, in facing the emotions because it gets you to where your life can really shine.”
While the original record boasted six songs, For Good adds one more song to the the story, that showcases that moving on is possible. “Mountain With A View” and “Just Married” remain the first two songs on the project. Both songs candidly share Ballerini’s breaking point at the end of her marriage.
The third song, “Penthouse (Healed Version)” marks the first monumental shift on the project. The new rendition is a live show recording of the singer breathing new life into the song with her fans by her side. Instead of singing “I kissed someone new last night. Now I don’t know where you’re sleeping baby,” Ballerini changes the lyric to “Now I don’t care where you’re sleeping baby.” The iconic change is a beautiful depiction of the messiness and beauty of healing.
On “Interlude,” Ballerini obliges fans and finally adds to the story. In an unapologetic and vulnerable way, the songstress shares more of her story, while sharing the “good girl” image that she no longer is trying to portray. While raw and personal, the song is truly a gift to fans who need to borrow from Ballerini’s strength, while they’re on their own path towards healing. Similarly, on an updated “Blindsided (Yeah, Sure, Okay),” Ballerini includes the new verse that she sang during her Saturday Night Live performance.
On the last two tracks on the project, “Leave Me Again,” and the new song, “How Do I Do This,” Ballerini looks into the future with a new perspective. On the former, Ballerini vows to never lose herself again in a relationship. While heartache is painful, she wants her fans to know that healing is possible. On the new track, Ballerini shares around her experience getting back into the dating world. The single feels like the perfect way to end a ‘healed’ version of the project.
While Rolling Up The Welcome Mat was a true masterpiece, the new Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) is even better. This record may have started as a personal project for Ballerini, but it is truly now for everyone. “With the updated version, I am asking from my fans that they help this be ours and simply let the music be the music.”

Mountain With A View
Just Married

HunterGirl shares new song, “Ain’t About You,” out now, August 11th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
American Idol favorite, HunterGirl is back with more new music that will surely resonate with her fans across the country. While HunterGirl can definitely sing a sassy song, she shines the brightest in her honest and vulnerable songs. Her new song, “Ain’t About You” fits the bill.
“Ain’t About You” is HunterGirl’s honest portrayal of feeling lost in her career. During a low point in her career, prior to American Idol, HunterGirl found herself having a conversation with God about what to do next. Eventually, she took pen to paper, and this song is what organically fell out. It depicts how when you zoom out and think about the larger picture and all the people you could be imprinting on, magic can happen and the fight is worth it.
“You always used to smile when you held your guitar // Now it feels like a reminder that you ain’t got too far // Strumming strings used to feel like breathing // Now it takes your breath away // Counting years // Counting reasons why it won’t work // But what if it does // What if tomorrow all those closed doors open // But if you give up // if you give in // You should know that you’re not the only one whose losing // What if there’s a little girl who needs a song // Telling her she’s beautiful // when the world tells her she’s wrong”
HunterGirl showcases exactly why America fell in love with her in this song. The track is exactly what country music needs more of. “Ain’t About You” is quite possibly the songstress’ best song to date!

Warner Music Nashville Platinum recording artist, Cody Johnson truly never misses. Today, the singer-songwriter is sharing his newest song to date with fans. Johnson’s new song, “The Painter” is officially out now. The song marks the first single off the singer’s upcoming fourth studio album.
Written by Benjy Davis, Kat Higgins and Ryan Larkins, “The Painter’ is a beautiful song about true love. While Johnson did not have a hand in penning this song, it is evident that he related to the lyric. “My favorite lyric in ‘The Painter’ is ‘for every wall I built, she saw a canvas,'” shared Johnson in a recent press release. “If there’s anything that describes my marriage with my wife, Brandi, it’s that line and that’s why we’ve been together for 15 years.”
Johnson goes on to share that he hopes fans truly listen to the message behind this beautiful new song. “I hope my fans are encouraged to take the time to appreciate the people they have around them. The ones who make their life beautiful and bring all the beautiful colors to their world when it could just be black and white and dark. Remember them and tell them you love them.”
“Gets excited about all my crazy dreams // Got every sunset that she’s ever seen memorized // Saves them and waits for a rainy day or stormy night // Sky’s brighter looking at it through her eyes // I don’t remember life before she came into the picture // Brought the beauty I was missing with her // Showed me colors I ain’t never seen // She took chances // For every wall I build, she saw a canvas // Thank God everyday for how he made her // My life was black and white, but she’s the painter”
Johnson’s new song is one of the most romantic songs of 2023. The beautiful imagery throughout this song is both special and heartfelt. “The Painter” is a must listen to!

Hit songwriter, John Morgan continues to firmly plant his feet as a recording artist in country music. His previous release, “Sorry Not Sorry” showed his grit as a true-blue country artist. Today, the singer is adding to his growing catalog of original music with his new song, “Cold Summer In San Antone,” out now.
Morgan’s new song is a slower, almost ballad, which truly showcases his incredible vocals. “Cold Summer In San Antone” is the age old story about missing the person you are no longer with to the point where everything seems backwards. Relatable and heartbreaking, the new song is one of Morgan’s best to date.
“I crawl out of bed // Put my old boots on // Head off to work // and straight back home // I don’t read the paper // I don’t watch TV // I’ve had about all the bad news I need // It’s been a cold summer in San Antone // That Texas sun don’t even feel like it’s on // It’s a 100 something down there, record high // But it’s not as warm in this bedroom tonight // I wonder if she even knows // that it’s been a cold, cold, summer in San Antone”
Morgan continues to showcase why he is an up and coming artist to look out for in country music. Definitely keep him on your radar!

Adam Doleac shares brand new single “Don’t Make Me Get Over You” out now, August 4th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.
One of our favorites, Adam Doleac continues to give fans more new songs in this new era of music. Gifted at crafting meaningful lyrics and displaying raw emotion in his music, Doleac’s brand new song, “Don’t Make Me Get Over You” fits the bill.
Inspired by music by John Mayer, “Don’t Make Me Get Over You” feels like an incredible countrified version of a Mayer song. The song illuminates how it feels to be in a on and off again relationship. It speaks to all the emotions of falling in and out of love. While the song feels melancholy, there is also some hope weaved throughout the touching new song.
“Don’t run your fingers through my hair // Don’t make me think there’s something there // Make coffee in your underwear // If you’re just pouring up goodbye // Don’t make me do what you know I’ll do // Don’t make me go back to me and you // Just to let me lose ya”
While Doleac always releases music that resonates with his fanbase, “Don’t Make Me Get Over You” might be one of his best singles to date. The song has every facet we have grown to love in a Doleac song – heart, honesty, and a vibe. This song is a must listen to again and again!

Brett Young shares his new album, Across The Streets, out now, August 4th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new record below.
With eight new tracks, country crooner Brett Young is back and better than ever with Across the Sheets, out now. On his fourth studio album, the singer-songwriter continues to perfect his unique brand of soulful pop country, stretching himself vocally and lyrically.
“I really dug deep with my writing over the pandemic,” He reveals in a statement. “Across The Sheets is by far the most adventurous I’ve ever gotten thematically and lyrically. I hope people hear my evolution as a songwriter and artist because I’m really proud of how much I allowed myself to pull back the curtain and let people see more of my life through my music. We’ve been playing the new songs on tour and to see how fans have already connected with them is truly special.”
For the California native, the album’s title was inspired by a theme that makes its way throughout the lyrics of the octet, inspired by “the person you want to share everything with, the one you lay your head down with every night.” This is abundantly clear on romantic tracks like the wedding-ready “Dance With You,” inspired by his relationship with his wife, Taylor. “They say, ‘life’s a dance,’ and if that’s the truth,” He croons in swoon-worthy fashion, “I only wanna dance with you.” The track is the perfect opener for the album, reminding listeners of Young’s unique blend of country pop, mixing twangy guitars with his soulful voice and powerful lyrics.
On the special new collection, the Big Machine Label Group artist co-wrote all but one track, a stirring take on the song that inspired him to pursue music, Tim McGraw’s classic “Don’t Take the Girl.” While he stays fairly true to the original, he does add a few vocal flourishes that make it uniquely his. The emotion on the meaningful track is obvious for the singer who is both a husband and a girl dad.
“Uncomfortable,”“Love Goes On,” and a re-recording of “You Ain’t Here to Kiss Me” each find him shining in his vulnerability. On “Uncomfortable,” he admits that, even after many years together, his wife still makes him nervous in all the best ways. Alternatively, “Love Goes On” is a moving track about how love can continue and unexpectedly return, even after a heartbreak. Here, Young is moving on with trepidation, learning from a new love that “a heart can heal after it breaks.”
“I Did This to Me” and “Back to Jesus” both offer more up-tempo moments on the LP, with “I Did This” allowing Young to stretch his voice over a groovy, toe-tapping melody. “If I had gotten over myself,” He growls. “I wouldn’t be getting over you now.” While “I Did This to Me” is about a relationship ending, “Back to Jesus” is a celebration of the women who are in Young’s life, making him a better man with the ability to love “this sinner back to Jesus.”
Meanwhile, “Let Go Too Soon” is a clear standout, finding him pondering the demise of a relationship, wondering if they gave up too soon. It’s a stirring mid-tempo track that’s bound to top the charts. “I’ve been going out with friends // I’ve been drinking too much whiskey // Burning candles at both ends // But nothing seems to fix me,” He sings. “’Cause no matter what I do // I still wake up missing you // Do you do that too? // Did we let go, did we let go? // Did we let go too soon?”
On Across the Sheets, Brett Young offers a mix of old and new tracks that allow him to shine as both a singer and a lyricist.
