Just a few days ago, Tennessee celebrated their iconic win by the Tennessee Volunteers over their rivals Alabama’s Crimson Tide. While college football has definitely been a part of the country music landscape with songs like Luke Combs’ “South On Ya” and Conner Smith’s “Orange and White” and “I Hate Alabama,” superstar Morgan Wallen is adding to that with his unreleased song, “Tennessee Fan.”
After celebrating the win with an impromptu performance at Peyton Manning’s bar, Wallen surprised fans with a clip of the unreleased song. “Tennessee Fan” is the perfect song to celebrate the big win. While it is unclear when Wallen actually recorded the song, this was definitely the best timing.
“She came back with me // crossed the Vols state line // Guess the joke’s on Alabama // ’cause they lost big this time // I’ve got the number one pick // blonde hair, red lips brought her over to the other side // A little deep south Delta Gamma // Done found a Smokey Mountain man // She was raised roll tide ’til the day she died // but ever since that night she’s been a Tennessee fan”
We look forward to seeing when Wallen officially releases this song. The single, already an earworm could be a start of more from album number 3 for the singer-songwriter. While we wait for more music, check out the songs we think should have been singles and his impressive list of number one’s here.

Country music’s viral hitmaker, Walker Hayes is living his best life right now. Every song he releases recently has been a smash hit with fans. After sharing, “Y’all Life” earlier this summer, Hayes’ surprised everyone by making it a collaboration. Hayes and Ciara collaborate on a brand new rendition of the dance-ready song.
The two stars debuted their brand new song on at the 2022 CMT Artists of The Year. Ciara adds a flirty and rhythmic vibe to the already dynamic song. Although unexpected, Hayes and Ciara make a killer team. The new rendition of “Y’all Life” highlights both singers’ strengths. The song was begging for a hip-hop/R&B collab, and Ciara fits the bill effortlessly.
“Y’all, them nursing homes still rattling with some Dolly Parton // And them high school kids traveling like James Harden // In them white limousines to the Olive Garden // On prom night, it’s good times, right // We be livin’ that y’all life, y’all”
It will be interesting to see where Hayes goes next in his career. He has clearly found his niche in country music, creating music that is both fun, family-friendly, and blurs the lines between genres. We would love to see him collaborate yet again!

Bailey Zimmerman’s new EP, Leave the Light On, is out now, October 14th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below and check out our full review.
Whether you are going through a breakup or questioning if your significant other is the person you should be with, Bailey Zimmerman’s debut EP Leave the Light On is for you.
The eight track EP starts out with an intro from Zimmerman letting us know that these songs are real stories that he’s lived through. It truly takes us on an emotional journey of the beginning of the end of a relationship.
The first track is one of the more vulnerable tracks “Never Leave”. Relationships are not easy. Even the happiest couples argue and go through super tough moments. Written by Zimmerman, Austin Shawn, Chris Sligh, Gavin Lucas, and Mary Kutter,“Never Leave” is a beautiful ballad that tells that story. It reminds us that we’re all human and make mistakes but it is possible to change. Zimmerman’s powerful vocals show heart, honesty, and pain. He reminds us all that you shouldn’t give up on the person you love.
Continuing with the theme of not wanting to believe that the relationship is over and trying to fight to stay together, “Waiting” and “House on Fire” are next. Zimmerman’s vulnerability shines through.
When relationships are on the cusp of ending, there’s normally one last ditch effort to try before the end and “From the Fall” and “Trainwreck” are just that. Zimmerman continues to show he isn’t afraid of letting listeners in on what he went through.
Next comes the singer-songwriter’s debut single, “Fall in Love”. Written by Zimmerman, Austin Shawn, and Gavin Lucas, this track shows Zimmerman is not afraid to leave everything on the table. You can hear the anger in his voice singing about how his ex has moved on to a new relationship and doing things that he and her had talked about doing. Climbing its way into the Top 15 at country radio, “Fall in Love” has nearly 250 million streams worldwide and is the 11th most-streamed country song of the year.
Written by Zimmerman, Heath Warren, Jacob Hackworth, and Jet Harvey, “Rock and a Hard Place” details what’s it like to be so in love with someone but deep down inside you know it isn’t working. You have to make that tough decision of staying and risk continuing to be unhappy or finally pulling the plug and being on your way to getting a fresh start. This track showcases Zimmerman’s strong vocals. He pours his emotions into the track which is what makes his voice so unique.
“Where It Ends” closes out the EP. Written by Zimmerman, Joe London, Grant Averill, and Joe Spargur, the track makes you feel like you are in a western film with compelling instrumentals. It shares the story of the breakup. Zimmerman had wanted to give that relationship a second chance but ended up getting stabbed in the back. It’s painful but in the end it teaches you a valuable lesson of that’s not what true love should be. There is someone who deserves you out there.
Leave the Light On truly shows how talented Zimmerman is not only as a singer but as a storyteller as well. He developed this talent by listening to his Grandpa Zimmerman and his oldest friends at their family car dealership. Now, not only is Zimmerman sharing his own stories with the world but he’s hoping they make an impact on those going through a breakup.
It’s almost been two years since Bailey Zimmerman’s career took off after he started sharing his music on TikTok in January and there are no signs of slowing down. He is currently on a sold-out tour and continues to climb the charts. He certainly has a bright future ahead with his honesty and unique sound. We can’t wait to see what’s next.

Pillbox Patti’s debut album, Florida is out now, October 14th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
With a smoky and seductive voice that holds the impending story of a life well-lived, Monument recording artist, Pillbox Patti is ready to make her name known.
Patti is the stage persona of acclaimed Nashville songwriter Nicolette Hayford, who has written songs for Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson, William Michael Morgan, and more. In fact, she’s the woman behind McBryde’s breakout track “Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega” and “One Night Standards,” a musical style and prowess that weaves its way through her debut album, Florida, out now.
“Florida is a collection of my truths,” says Pillbox Patti in a statement. “It’s who I am and where I come from. It helped me heal. it helped me celebrate how far I’ve come, and I hope it brings some light to anybody out there in the dark corners of a small town or anybody anywhere that needs to hear ‘I’ve been there too.’”
Throughout Florida, Patti takes listeners on an eight-track journey through her world, but in a way, that’s endlessly relatable. Her voice is that of a seasoned storyteller, while her lyrics are the perfect mix of clever and catchy, full of intrigue, innuendo, and an immersive listening experience.
From the opening notes of “Good People,” listeners will feel like they’re being drawn into a mysterious and smoky room as Patti introduces them to a cast of good people with bad habits. At the core they may be good, but here in Patti’s world, there’s no judgment as she accepts everyone along with their vices. “Even Jesus had his reasons for turning water into wine,” She drawls. “So smoke it, pop it, drink it, drop it, honey we don’t mind.”
Likewise, “Suwannee” and “Young and Stupid” are both odes to growing up in simpler times. The former is a gritty, swampy introduction to her hometown along Florida’s Suwannee River, while the latter is a nostalgic ode to easier days, as Patti muses “I guess you don’t know what you got // Til ya been gone a while // And I been gone a while.”
“Eat, Pray, Drugs” puts a clever country spin on the old adage of eat, pray, love, as she continues to tell the tale of growing up in a small town. “I’m from a small town in Florida where there’s not a whole lot goin’ on,” says Pillbox Patti. “Mostly casseroles, and Jesus, and getting’ high.…in other words, eat pray drugs. If I would’ve had the extra money to spend on decorative signs or kitchen towels when I lived in the little town I’m from, they would’ve all said eat pray drugs.”
“Only three things to do around here // Ain’t a honey hole or a movie theater // Country is as country does // Eat, pray, drugs // Hose clamp and a 80 mg // Baptist church and a Dairy Queen // We just doin’ what we love // Eat, pray, drugs.”
“Hooking Up” finds her channeling her inner Gwen Stefani on the infectiously catchy, hands-in-the-air anthem, while “Candy Cigarettes” has her realizing the way she grew up may have affected her life today.
Vulnerability is on full display on Florida, most noticeably on the album’s final song, “25 MPH Town,” a sparse, piano-driven ballad that tells of her unstable upbringing. Likewise, “Valentine’s Day” is a heart-wrenching tale of Patti’s own February fourteenth experience with abortion at the age of fifteen. “I needed to write that song and it took, obviously, a very long time for me to get there, but that is the truth I needed to tell because it allowed me to love myself,” Patti reveals to Yahoo Entertainment. “A lot of these songs did. That one was a really big one where I’m really glad I shared that and I’m really glad I have all these people here with me and I can feel the love.”
With honesty and vulnerability rarely found in country music, Pillbox Patti’s Florida is one of the genre’s most daring releases of late. With an uncanny mix of vulnerability, honesty, and levity, the singer-songwriter manages to tell of a rocky upbringing without ever making listeners feel bad for her. Instead, we root for her, both for these eight tracks and for whatever is yet to come.

Callista Clark’s debut album, Real To Me: The Way I Feel is out now, October 14th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.
Callista Clark may only be nineteen years old, but she’s wise beyond her years. With an evocative and soulful voice, the Big Machine Recording artist is both a talented singer and a gifted songwriter. Produced by Nathan Chapman, Clark’s debut album, Real to Me: The Way I Feel, features ten songs co-written by the talented teen alongside some of Nashville’s biggest names. Songwriters featured here include Chris DeStefano, Liz Rose, Sarah Buxton, Jimmy Robbins, and many more.
On her debut album, Real to Me: The Way I Feel, the follow-up to 2021’s Real To Me EP, Clark does what very few female artists can. She bends genres, telling tales of heartbreak and growing up in a way that’s endlessly powerful yet relatable.
On the ten-track collection, heartbreak is a prevalent theme, showing that despite her young age, Clark has experienced many of life’s most poignant moments. The Georgia native weaves her way through love lost on songs like “Gave It Back Broken,” “Don’t Need It Anymore,” and “Heartbreak Song,” while she’s feeling more empowered on tracks like “It’s Cause I Am,” “Brave Girl,” and “Sad.”
The album opens with “It’s Cause I Am,” a jazzy and soulful track that finds her channeling her inner Joss Stone as she asserts her own positive attributes over a guy who can’t deal with a complex and strong-willed woman. On this empowering anthem for every woman, she knows who she is and what she’s worth and if the guy can’t handle it, that’s his loss.
“I can’t help that I’m one of a kind // I’m more than meets the eye // If I ain’t what you like // Well, that’s alright // You want a one-dimensional woman // It’s okay, I understand If I seem too complicated for ya, mm // It’s ’cause I am // Don’t beat yourself up about it baby // It’s ’cause I am // Don’t beat yourself up about it baby.”
Likewise, “Change My Mind” is a twangy declaration of what a man has got to do in a relationship with her, while “Brave Girl” is a piano-driven letter of encouragement to her younger self, punctuated by ethereal background vocals.
Much of the album finds Clark dealing with heartbreak, including on the stunning “Gave It Back Broken” and “Don’t Need It Anymore.” On both tracks, she is struggling with the loss of a relationship, and she’s not quite sure her heart will ever be the same. “I gave you my heart with no missing pieces ‘cause you promised me you would hold it, So don’t you feel bad that you gave it back broken?” She asks on the first track, while the second finds her wondering if her heart still works the way it should. “This heart’s useless, worthless ’cause it // Just doesn’t work like it did before // You stole the meaning it’s not beating // You can keep it I don’t need it anymore.”
Meanwhile, “Wish You Wouldn’t” has her leaning into her soulful side on the R&B-tinged track, while “Heartbreak Song” sounds like an old Chicks classic. “Worst Guy Ever” has her channeling her inner “If I Was a Boy,” as she muses that she’d be a terrible dude, while “Sad” finds her anything but.
‘Sad’ is one of my favorite songs that I’ve ever written,” reveals Clark in a statement. “It’s super lighthearted and perfect for summer. I wanted the lyrics of this song to be fun and sarcastic – the exact opposite of how I was feeling while going through a heartbreak. Manifesting not being sad.”
Finally, the album concludes with the moving “Real To Me,” a track that finds Clark validating her feelings and experiences, as she proclaims, “The way that I feel is real to me.”
“They say go be free but I’m too caged to fly // They say spread your wings but the wings don’t fit right // They say that it ain’t as bad as it seems // But the way that I feel is real to me, oh // Blue still feels blue // When you’re green on the vine // Real tears in your eyes // And rain, it’s still rain // Even if you haven’t felt it a thousand times.”
While Callista Clark may be young in years, she’s certainly wise in experience, as evidenced by her debut album. Like the Taylor Swifts, Miranda Lamberts, and Kelsea Ballerini’s before her, this album is sure to enrapture female fans of all ages.

“It’s ‘Cause I Am” | Callista Clark, Cameron Jaymes, Laura Veltz

We love supporting our local New York artists like Willie Lock. The singer-songwriter is as talented as ever. He also has a new song out! Today, the singer shares his brand new song, “When We Were 17.”
Written from a nostalgic perspective, the new single is a country song for everyone. “When We Were 17” reminds us all of the sweeter times, when we were going to football games with friends, hanging out with our classmates, and making the most out of life. If this song does not leave you with a big smile on your face and an all-too-familiar ache in your chest for simpler times, you are lying!
“We walked off the field // and we shed a tear // When we were 17 //When we were seventeen // We were drinking beer in the parking lot, fleeing the scene before we got caught // Never realized what those nights meant to me // Never realized what those nights meant to me // When we were 17”
Lock knows a thing or two about evoking emotion in his listeners. “When We Were 17” fits the bill. This is a must-add to your music library.

Roman Alexander’s new song, “Guys Like Me” is out now, October 14th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new track below.
Singer-songwriter, Roman Alexander is embarking on the next chapter of his music. Alexander has a knack for creating music that makes you feel something. Today he is sharing a perfect, opposites-attract love song called “Guys Like Me.”
The new song is a tale as old as time. ‘City’ boy meets a small-town girl, and they fall in love. However, Alexander manages to put a new spin on the classic story. Each verse portrays the sweet dichotomy between the lovers. For example, he’s heading out on the town, and she’s spending her weekends cuddled up with a good book.
“If oil and water mixed // It would be something like this // Guys like me and girls like you // You’re Chardonnay, I’m 90 proof // You’re a sweet home Alabama // I’m a skyline city view // They say opposites attract // Through history, it’s been a fact // Some things, but they do // Guys like me and girls like you”
Alexander is one to look out for. The singer-songwriter has quietly formed a devoted fanbase, one song at a time. He continues to prove his undeniable talent and charm with each song. “Guys Like Me” may be our favorite so far.

Kylie Morgan’s EP, Songs To Say I Do, is out now, October 14th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new project below and check out our full review.
Inspired by her own October wedding, singer-songwriter Kylie Morgan released her EP, Songs To Say I Do, today. Featuring five new songs co-written by the EMI Records Nashville artist, the EP includes her viral hit “Bridesmaids,” which has absolutely exploded on TikTok.
Other tracks include “Always Been You,” “That’s My Man,” “Fireworks,” and “Good Hands,” each detailing various aspects of her wedding and courtship. In many ways, much of the EP is a love letter to her husband, her friends, and all of the complex feelings that go into planning and celebrating a wedding.
“Bridesmaids” is a clear and immediate standout, as there are not enough songs out there dedicated to female friendships. On the catchy ode to those who have stood by her through thick and thin, Morgan celebrates the “sisters she gets to choose,” including her high school friends, those who would post her bail, and those alongside her as she makes drunken decisions.
“My bridesmaids // My ride or dies // My champagne-tipsy kinda tribe // Wild ones, right by my side // Rocking black while I’m wearing white // Sisters I get to choose // Mighta found the one but I need you too // The song’s always about the groom // But I just can’t say I do // Without my bridesmaids”
Meanwhile, “Fireworks,” “That’s My Man,” and “Always Been You” are all tracks dedicated to the groom. On the mid-tempo “Fireworks,” she applauds taking chances, despite being burned in the past. “Why would I hold back my heart just ‘cause it’s been broken?” She asks. “I hope that I never learn // Even though I’ve been burned, I still love fireworks.”
With the twangy and fun “That’s My Man,” she toasts to all the things that make him unique, while “Always Been You” is about love at first sight. She admits here that she’s always known he was the one, as she sings, “ “I walked down the aisle when I first walked up to you….When you asked me out, that’s when I said ‘I do.’”
Lastly “Good Hands” finds her assuring her father that she’s in good hands when he gives her away to her groom. “I’m in good hands, when he’s holding onto mine, I know who I am, when I look in his eyes, “ She sings. “And he only sees the best in me, even when it’s hard to find, he’s a good man, I’m in good hands.”
On Songs To Say I Do, Kylie Morgan offers a special souvenir for her own wedding and for anyone about to tie the knot.

Chase Rice’s new song, “Way Down Yonder” is out now, October 14th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new track below.
Multi-platinum singer-songwriter, Chase Rice continues to reveal the sonic shift of his upcoming project with this rugged outlaw anthem. Co-written with Hunter Phelps, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, and Corey Crowder during a writing retreat in Florida, Rice recalled thinking of the mountains of his home state of North Carolina while penning this tune.
“All of a sudden during the recording process, Rob McNelley started playing this crazy carnival sound on the acoustic… and it got Western quick. That turned it from a song I didn’t think was even going to make the cut for this next album into one of my favorite songs on the project.”
“Make your love where the bees make honey // When the cut’s where you’re born and raised // Man it’s in your blood we were born this way down yonder”
This song has everything going for it to make it a hit single on radio—the catchy lyrics; the southern-rock sound; and the wild-west imagery. The writers use a lot of same-line rhymes and alliteration to hook listeners into the story. Phrases like “Rippin’ hot rod runners,” “moonshine money,” and “Bootleg Bertie’s” flow so well with the music.
The most impressive feature of the whole song is that the video was shot in one take. The camera follows Rice around the saloon, panning to other characters hanging out in the bar as well. At one point in the video, fisticuffs break out over a poker game.
“Way Down Yonder” joins “If I Were Rock & Roll” and “Key West & Colorado” on, what Rice refers to as, his forthcoming “trackless” album. Rice honored his late father at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this week by debuting an unreleased song titled “For A Day,” which will also make the new record.
“It is the edge of the record. It’s real, it’s believable,” Rice shared in a recent press release. “There are no tracks on the record, which is different for country music these days — believe it or not — because everybody’s doing tracks. None of that. There’s not even a click on it. The whole thing was based on the feel of the drummers — us playing off each other.”
Fans can expect a more authentic and unfeigned project from Rice this time around. Rice will appear on SiriusXM The Highway’s “Music Row Happy Hour” tonight to celebrate the song’s release and share more insight into the record. See Rice perform these songs live on tour this fall. For tickets, head to his website.
