Austin Burke Shares New Song “Boys Won’t Be Boys”

Austin Burke shares brand new song “Boys Won’t Be Boys,” out now, November 3rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new track below.

Country music is full of talented singer-songwriters, but it is truly the home of incredible storytellers. Austin Burke is one who has mastered the art. The rising entertainer has a knack for weaving nostalgia and storytelling into each and everyone of his songs, whether he had a hand in writing the track or not. Today, the singer is sharing a brand new tune called “Boys Won’t Be Boys.”

Written by Ty Graham, Renee Blair, and Matt Alderman, Burke’s new song, “Boys Won’t Be Boys” proves to be another relatable and reminiscent country song. On the new track, the singer explores the idea that boys do not fully become who they are before they fall in love and find their person. The song touches on various life experiences, adding to the reliability of the catchy track.

“Boys are known for getting loud // Boys are known for going out // way too late, chasing girls from bar to bar downtown // Boys are known for getting drunk // Boys are known for too much fun // Tearing up a Friday like they just turned 21 // But when they meet somebody // who crashes their whole party // Boy won’t be boys”

“Boys Won’t Be Boys” is a great song to add to Burke’s growing catalog of music. It has all the elements that a great country song needs, so definitely give it a listen.

Cody Johnson: ‘Leather’ – Album Review

Cody Johnson shares his new album, Leather, out now, November 3rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

On Leather, out now, Cody Johnson had one goal: to put out an album better than the last one. “This round of songs, I have to say, is the best round of songs I have ever recorded and I feel like that’s the way it should be,” Johnson revealed of the album, which he created alongside longtime producer Trent Willmon. “Each album should outdo the last one.”

With the release of Leather, the follow up to 2021’s Human The Double Album, Johnson has solidified his position as one of country’s most consistent and reliable superstars. Throughout the LP, which he promises will also become a double album in 2024, the former bull rider runs the gamut of emotions. There’s state pride on “That’s Texas,” despair over watching an ex move on with “Watching My Old Flame,” and the stunning prayer that is “Make Me a Mop.”

Interestingly, for the first time in his career, Johnson chose not to co-pen any of the album’s 12 tracks, instead enlisting Nashville’s best songwriters to offer up their best work to allow his vocals to shine through. The result is an album that still manages to sound pure Cody Johnson.

Leather opens with “Work Boots,” a catchy and clever twang-filled ode to a cowboy’s favorite footwear and their role in catching a special lady. “We got a little work to do // It looks like she wants to dance // I wouldn’t wanna miss our chance,” He sings. “She might be the one to change our world // But we ain’t gonna get the girl // Sittin’ on a stool // We gotta make our move // So come on, work, boots.”

The Texas native celebrates his home state on “That’s Texas,” offering a moment of levity in the form of a two steppin’, 90’s inspired fiddle and steel jaunt. Likewise, “Double Down” may be the most stylistically unique track, the crooner delivering the verses slowly and deliberately before launching into a raucous twang-infused chorus about drinking to move on. In a similar vein is “Long Live Country Music,” which pairs Johnson with Brooks & Dunn for the trio we didn’t know the world needed. Here, Johnson trades verses with the legendary duo on a track that was inspired by an off-the-cuff comment made during an awards show, when Johnson proclaimed “Long live country music.” 

Another unexpected collaboration pairs Johnson with Jelly Roll, on “Whiskey Bent,” a stirring ode to facing one’s demons. Of the track, the singer revealed to Billboard that he initially hated it simply because of the cliche title and  Jelly was originally supposed to be on a different song (“Jesus Loves You”), but was stopped in his tracks by the lyrics to “Whiskey Bent.” “He just started crying and was like, ‘Bro, I ain’t never heard a song like that. If I’m gonna be on a song, can it be that one?’ Johnson shares. “I think we’ve both lived that song in our own ways. People look at me as this clean-cut, wholesome guy, but I’m no different than anybody else.”

Johnson continues to show his more vulnerable side on tracks like “Watching My Old Flame,” the piano-driven “Dirt Cheap,” and “The Painter.” While “Watching My Old Flame” is a heartbreak ballad with unique lyrics that chronicles the pain of watching an ex move on, “The Painter” is a gorgeous love song. “I think it’s the first song I’ve ever recorded where I sing it in my talking voice,” He shares. “I intentionally tried to stay out of the way of the song, so the listener could paint their own image, and have their own interpretation of it. But for me, obviously, it’s about my wife [Brandi]. Without her, my world wouldn’t be what it is. We’ve been together for 15 years, so we’ve had some real highs, had some real lows. We’ve been through a lot together. She has stuck with me through thick and thin, and I think she deserves for me to be able to say this song is for her.”

Johnson shows his heavier side on tunes like “Jesus Loves You” and “People in the Back.” While the latter is an ode to the special people who you may find in the back row of a concert or the back row of a church, “Jesus” puts a unique spin on anger and betrayal. Speaking to Billboard, he revealed, “I think this song will raise some eyebrows, but you don’t get to sing about anger very often. It’s about a guy whose home is broken into, and he basically tells the person who broke into their home that he’s lucky he wasn’t killed while trying to break in. He’s basically saying, ‘God must’ve been looking out for you, but if you try that again, it’s over for you.”

Two clear highlights of the album are its title track, “Leather” and its stunning final track, “Make Me a Mop.” Co-written by Ian Munsick, “Leather” was shared with Johnson while the pair toured together and he revealed the moment he first heard the song. “My jaw dropped,” Johnson recalls. “Everything about a cowboy has to do with leather, so lines about it taking ‘Years of work and dirt and hurt to make him,’ or ‘He’ll start out stiff and rough, but give him time and he’ll soften up/ And that just makes him twice as tough’… It is so well-written.”

Lastly, the album ends on the especially poignant “Make Me A Mop,” which is a sparse and chill-inducing prayer of vulnerability as the singer begs God to make him something more than he is. “Make me a mop to clean up the messes that I’ve made in my life.” He begins. “Lord make me a spoon, smooth on the edges, when my words want to reach for a knife.”

With the release of Leather, Cody Johnson promised an album to outdo his last one, and he’s done just that. The LP is a solid collection of tried and true country that is sure to even further launch Johnson into superstardom.

Conner Smith Announces Debut Album + Drops Title Track “Smoky Mountains”

Conner Smith announces debut album and drops title track, “Smoky Mountains,” out now, November 3rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.

One of our favorite rising country artists has officially announced the release date for his debut album! Conner Smith‘s debut album, titled Smoky Mountains is coming out January 26th. Featuring twelve songs, including fan favorites, “I Hate Alabama” and “Creek Will Rise,” the album is one of the most anticipated records by a new artist. In celebration of the news, Smith shares the title track of the record, out today.

“Smoky Mountains” seems to set the tone for what fans can expect on the upcoming record. The classic meets modern country song starts off contained, until it explodes with rhythmic lyrics and incredible instrumentals. The new song is fun, nostalgic, heartfelt, and carefree, qualities that we love in country music.

In a recent press release Smith shared, ““There’s an image in my head that’s so inspiring. You got your family and your best friends, drinking some whiskey on a front porch, picking a banjo. And then as I was writing it, it really became a sense of longing, because this whole year has been about being gone an infinite amount, traveling and chasing the dream.” The sentiment perfectly describes the single and the aforementioned album.

Give “Smoky Mountains” a listen, and make sure to pre-save the record too!

Jason Aldean: ‘Highway Desperado’ – Album Review

Jason Aldean shares his new album, Highway Desperado, out now, November 3rd, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

Fresh off his remarkable 28th number-one radio single, the polarizing yet popular “Try That In A Small Town,” the reigning ACM Artist of the Decade adds to his already impressive resume with another full-length project. Aldean shared the inspiration for the album’s title came from his latest sold-out headlining tour that just ended last weekend. 

“I think when I look back on it, I built my career early on my live show, and have been on the road touring since I was 18 years old. For us, touring is our favorite part,” Aldean confessed in a recent press release. “Getting on the bus and going town to town and playing our shows and doing our thing and seeing the fans…the title for the tour and album was really inspired from that.” 

That inspiration is exhibited immediately in the project’s opening song, “Tough Crowd.” The phrase, “tough crowd,” typically describes a disengaged audience, but the writers flip it into a favorable attribute. Aldean highlights the veterans and blue collar 9-to-5ers in the audience, giving them credit for partying hard at the show even after working hard all day. The track is filled with crowd cheers to give it that real, live concert feel.

The next song, “Let Your Boys Be Country,” is a PSA to all the moms out there to, like the title says, let their boys be country—let them hunt, drive trucks, fall in love with the girl next door, and be proud of where they’re from. 

Alcohol-aided heartbreak is a prominent theme throughout the record, expressed on tracks such as “I Knew You’d Come Around,” “Whiskey Drink  and “From This Beer On.” In the former, the singer got to the bar early to get a head start on his buzz, because he had a feeling his ex would show up and wreck his good time later that night. The upbeat melody contradicts the somber subject matter, creating a unique and interesting sound. In “Whiskey Drink,” the singer is begging his substances to drown out his feelings and regret. In the latter, the singer pledges to himself that her leaving won’t affect his good time, and from this beer on, it’s all good vibes.

Love is represented in a positive light on the album as well. In the soothing “Rather Watch You,” the singer is in front of the most beautiful and scenic view imaginable, but all he can focus on is the woman next to him—a cute sentiment emphasizing the effect of true love.  The title of the snap-track, “I’m Over You,” suggests the singer has officially moved on from his ex, but instead, he’s over her being just his girlfriend.

“I’m over you not leaving your car parked out in the yard // Not stealing my t-shirts every night // I’m over your boots not next to my boots // I’m over my whiskey not next to your wine // My life could use some forever, and your name could use some new letters // You’ve had yours your whole life // I’m over you not having mine”

Aldean, whose last contribution to song lyrics was on “Keep the Girl” from his third album, Wide Open, has three cuts on this record in “Breakup Breakdown,” Hungover In A Hotel,” and the concluding title track. The former is a rocking tune that features the singer in the middle of an emotional breakdown caused from his former relationship. In the title track, the singer reflects on his lifestyle and the high he gets from being out on the road. He admits he has no intention of changing his ways. The song ends with a 75 second guitar solo.

“Every cowboy knows you can’t hang your hat in just one place // You’re a highway desperado”

In an industry that is constantly evolving, Jason Aldean continues to follow the same musical formula. Yet he continues to enthrall listeners and remains one of country music’s most popular figures—a true testament to his vocal talent, his team of writers and producers, and his showmanship on stage. Not many country artists have been at their peak as long as Aldean, and whether you appreciate his candid attitude, you must acknowledge the impact and the joy he’s had on our beloved genre.

Dylan Marlowe & Dylan Scott Collaborate on New Song “Boys Back Home”

Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott collaborate on their new song “Boys Back Home” out now, October 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Dylan Marlowe and Dylan Scott are joining forces to deliver a high-energy new song called, “Boys Back Home.” The rising star and hitmaker show off their undeniable musical chemistry and talent on this fun-loving new jam.

“Boys Back Home” perfectly embodies the fun and upbeat side of both artists. While both Marlowe and Scott know how to deliver a heartfelt tune, it is exciting to hear what a more mid-tempo song sounds like from the singers. “Boys Back Home” is a feel-good anthem for small town living; however, the song came be applicable to anyone who misses their crew back home.

“Here’s to the boys back home, drinkin’ dirt road beers on a Friday night // Yeah I’m wishin’ I was with y’all singin’ them old songs, trucks circled up round a farm fire”

“Boys Back Home” will definitely be a hit on the road for both Marlowe and Scott respectively. We look forward to seeing what each individual artist has coming down the pipeline next in their blossoming careers.

Aaron Watson: ‘Cover Girl’ – Album Review

Aaron Watson shares his new album, Cover Girl, out now, October 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new music below.

Born out of sharing iconic songs with his young daughter, Jolee Kate, Aaron Watson’s Cover Girl, out now, is a passion project of epic proportions. In addition to re-recording a wide range of classic songs, the Texas native enlisted a host of rising independent female country stars to join him, including Jenna Paulette, Kimberly Kelly, Bri Bagwell, Morgan Myrles, Kylie Frey, and more.

“I’ve gotten the chance to share the stage with a number of incredibly talented female artists who are hustling the independent game just like I am,” Watson shared. “When I decided to do the Cover Girl record, I knew I wanted to find females that I believed in and knew would be an asset to the song.”

The LP opens with Watson and Paulette joining forces on a classy cover of the Rosanne Cash classic, “Seven Year Ache.” Melodically, it stays true to the original but the duo still manages to modernize a song that’s over 30 years old. That theme works its way throughout the LP, as Watson and his duet partners consistently add a new flair to tried and true classics.

“9 To 5” features 2023 America’s Got Talent Semi-Finalist Frey and stays true to the original, in a good way. While it’s musically very similar to the original, it’s unique to hear a male voice on the classic, which adds a new element in a way that doesn’t sound like karaoke. Likewise, Kimberly Kelly lends her voice to the classic “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma,” while Courtney Patton shines on The Judds’ “Grandpa (Tell Me About the Good Old Days).”

Watson manages to put a new Texan spin on Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons,” alongside Morgan Myles. The Gaga cover allows the pair to harmonize beautifully, their voices blending on the building crescendos of the powerful song which truly allow Myles to shine for a special moment on the LP.

UK export Twinnie joins Watson on “Back on the Train Gang,” adding a bit of twang to the Pretenders classic, a song written after the band’s guitarist died from a drug overdose. The pair manage to make the familiar track sound like it was always meant to be a country tune. Likewise, Jamie Lin Wilson sounds right at home on the stirring “Love at the Five and Dime,” while Bri Bagwell breathes different life into Sheryl Crow’s “Can’t Cry Anymore.” Alyssa Micaela’s raspy rock-leaning voice also adds an unexpected layer to the Emmylou Harris classic, “Two More Bottles of Wine.”

“All Through the Night” is another clear highlight, beautifully pairing Watson with Leigh Nash, best known for her days with Sixpence None the Richer. On the Cyndi Lauper classic, Nash’s voice is the star, shining in a haunting yet powerful way, her rich yet airy tone perfectly complimenting Watson.

Watson’s cover of Taylor Swift’s “Never Grow Up” is especially poignant, as it features vocals from the singer’s young daughter, who inspired the whole project. “If you’re going to sing someone else’s song, it has to be a song that you believe in,” He shared. “I was listening to (‘Never Grow Up’), and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, you could totally sing this to your kids from a dad’s perspective to his daughter.’” 

“My daughter, like most teenage girls and women on the face of the earth, is obsessed with Taylor Swift. She was insistent that I did a Taylor Swift song on this project and who can argue with that?,” Watson revealed in a recent interview. “I told her that if I covered Taylor she would have to sing with me on it! Then we had to choose the right song, right? …We did think about covering one of Tayor’s upbeat, popular songs but then we found ‘Never Grow Up’ and it made for a perfect daddy/daughter moment. It’s such a sweet song and a song that I can listen to years in the future and hear Jolee at 13 on too.”

On Cover Girl, Aaron Watson and his eleven unique duet partners take classic songs and reimagine them in new and different ways. From Taylor Swift to Rosanne Cash to the Pretenders, there’s something for every music fan here.

Cover Girl Tracklist:

  1. Seven Year Ache ft. Jenna Paulette
  2. Million Reasons ft. Morgan Myles
  3. Back on the Chain Gang ft. Twinnie
  4. Love At The Five And Dime ft. Jamie Lin Wilson

Matt Schuster Shares Brand New Song “Last Fall” Out Now

Matt Schuster releases new song “Last Fall” out now, October 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

Earlier this year, we introduced you to a new artist that we believe has the potential to become a fan-favorite, Matt Schuster. The singer-songwriter released an incredible song called, “Wasted Prayers” last winter, and now he is sharing another new song that we cannot get enough of. Today, Schuster releases the heartbreaking ballad, “Last Fall.”

Full of haunting emotion and grit, “Last Fall” tells the age-old story of a relationship running its course; despite, not wanting to feel the hurt that it is coming. Clearly inspired by John Mayer’s iconic song, “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room,” Schuster’s “Last Fall” is his country-rendition of a similar topic. Throughout the song, the singer pleads for his love to stay just a little longer, not wanting to feel the imminent pain that is coming his way.

“Last Fall // We were falling like the stars // 21 and chasing cars // It was happy ever after // Nothing mattered at all // Except for you and me // Now it’s hard to believe // Can’t hardly take it, heart is breaking, how we’re changing with the leaves // I can tell something’s wrong // Ain’t nobody said it // But it’s already gone // That’s where we’re headed”

With each release, Schuster is showing off exactly why he is an artist to look out for. “Last Fall” is an absolute must-listen too!

Lainey Wilson + Dolly Parton Pay Tribute to The Judds with “Mama He’s Crazy”

In a new project to pay tribute to The Judds, Lainey Wilson and Dolly Parton collaborate on a cover of the song, “Mama He’s Crazy,” out now, October 27th on all streaming platforms. Listen below!

Country music never forgets to appreciate and pay homage to the musical acts that paved the way for modern-day musicians both in and out of the genre. In a new project called A Tribute To The Judds, artists are getting together to cover the iconic songs in The Judds’ catalog.

Back in August, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton shared their rendition of “Love Is Alive” and last month, Wynonna Judd and Trisha Yearwood released their cover of the iconic song, “Cry Myself To Sleep.” Today, superstars Lainey Wilson and Dolly Parton are lending their voices to “Mama He’s Crazy.”

On “Mama He’s Crazy,” both Parton and Wilson show off their incredible vocals and storytelling ability. Both entertainers bring a new spirit and life to the iconic track.
