Matt Schuster shares brand new song “Wasted Prayers,” out now, February 24th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
We are always on the lookout for new country artists, who have the potential to become a fan-favorite. Matt Schuster is one of those artists! The singer-songwriter is blowing up on TikTok, and for good reason, even garnering accolades from Zach Bryan. Today, the artist released his brand new song, “Wasted Prayers.”
Written by Schuster with Jonny Price and Adam Yaron, “Waster Prayers” has the incredible wordplay we love in country songs. The title serves as the core phrase throughout the song’s chorus, signifying, feeling like God is not hearing your prayers and praying, while drunk. Schuster’s vocals are on full display on the heartbreakingly beautiful song.
“That you’ll come back and just like that // We’ll fall again, forget the facts // that we both tried a million times, but you and I don’t work like that // Chase a pull with another shot // Then bow my head and talk to God // Wake up sober and you’re not there // I’ve been praying wasted prayers”
“Wasted Prayers” is truly one of the most enticing new songs to come from a new artist this year so far. Schuster is the real deal, and you definitely want to be among the first group of people to jump on his red-hot bandwagon!

After releasing one of the most vulnerable and therapeutic songs to date “Man of the House,” Corey Kent is finally sharing his rendition of Post Malone’s song “Better Now” with the masses.

Parker McCollum shares new song “I Ain’t Going Nowhere” in conjunction with announcing his upcoming album Never Enough. Listen and get all the details here!
Although he seems like a new name to the average country listener, Parker McCollum has been in the industry for almost ten years. After having major success in the Texas-country scene, he broke out into the mainstream with his number-one hit, “Pretty Heart” in 2020. Now, with a major-label album under his belt, McCollum gears up for the next chapter of his musical career.
Written with Lori McKenna, Lee Miller, Jon Randall, and Liz Rose, the new song, “I Ain’t Going Nowhere,” tells the story of a dream-chaser who is beginning to struggle to make the difficult decision between his profession and his wife. As much as he wants to play his music out on the road, he hates leaving his loved one behind. He assures her that she is the only thing he needs in life.
“I don’t wanna have to makе you miss me // So I ain’t goin’ if you ain’t with me // All I need is what I see right here I ain’t goin’ nowhere”
“‘I Ain’t Going Nowhere’ really is kind of a testament to where I’m at in my life right now,” McCollum said in a recent press release. “I’ve spent so much time on the road and touring and living on a tour bus and in a van since I was basically a kid and never thought I would settle down or slow down at all. And not to say I’m really slowing down, but, certainly have settled down and found that person that makes it worth it when you have a place to come home to that is not a tour bus or a highway.”
The new project will feature sixteen tracks including “I Ain’t Going Nowhere” as well as the previous releases, “Stoned” and the current top-ten radio single, “Handle On You.” Never Enough is out on May 12.
McCollum will join Morgan Wallen on his massive ‘One Night At A Time’ World Tour, stopping at some of the largest NFL and MLB stadiums across North America, including two nights at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. For tickets, head to his website.

Jordan Davis’ new album, Bluebird Daysis out now, February 17th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new album below.
“This is exactly the record I want to put out,” Jordan Davis says of his new album, Bluebird Days. “I don’t know what’s going to happen with it, but I can at least tell you that the one certainty I do have about this record is I’m proud of it.”
Produced by Paul Giovanni, the follow-up to 2018’s Home State features seventeen new tracks, fifteen of which were co-written by the singer-songwriter. Over the course of the album, Davis explores universal truths from love to love lost, nostalgia to the passage of time, and the hard truths of life to of course, having a beer or two. However, what Davis does better than most is turn these themes into a mix of radio-ready singles, introspective album tracks, and so much more.
For example, the contemplative “Sunday Saints” finds him grappling with his humanity, holding the Bible in one hand and a bottle in the other. The Louisiana native cleverly sneaks in double wordplay and perhaps a nod to the New Orleans Saints throughout the track. Simultaneously, the autobiographical title track has him dealing with his parent’s divorce. Likewise, “Short Fuse” has Davis coming to grips with his anger, while “You’ve Got My Number” finds Davis going through a breakup with someone who knows him all too well. It’s a clever take on the breakup drunk dial song, as he turns the phrase “You’ve got my number” to be both literal and figurative.
The title track is a striking moment of introspection as he mourns the loss of his parent’s marriage and the childhood he became accustomed to.
“They used to be sunshine and roses // Their heads were way over their heels // Said they do then they don’t // Ended up dancing right through a minefield // ‘Cause the truth about living a lie is // That the lie never outlives the truth // Two hearts fell in love and two hearts grew apart // They went their separate ways and our bluebird days went dark”
In a similar vein is “Part of Life,” recorded almost exactly ten years after Davis departed Shreveport, Louisiana for Nashville. The track seems especially poignant as he grapples with the negative, and positive, occurrences that make life what it is.
“You live and learn and good ones go // You find out on down the road // When you lay it all on out and get down to the heart of it // Man that’s just life and that’s all part of it”
Davis is also a romantic throughout Bluebird Days, evidenced on his fifth number-one single, “What My World Spins Around” and the sexy “No Time Soon,” which has him promising a lot of lovin’ when he gets home. Meanwhile, “Midnight Crisis” finds him trading verses with Danielle Bradbery on the stunning ballad between a pair of exes who can’t quite move on.
Two additional standouts are “Next Thing You Know” and “Money Isn’t Real,” both of which have him looking at life through new eyes. On the former, he muses about how life comes at you fast, from meeting someone to getting married to having children, much in a vein similar to Kenny Chesney’s classic “Don’t Blink.”
Meanwhile, on “Money Isn’t Real,” which is one of only two songs not co-penned by Davis, he puts his own spin on the adage that money can’t buy happiness. “A dollar doesn’t make you rich,” He sings, “When it comes to happiness, money isn’t real.”
“Fishing Boat” is a special moment on the LP, a sentimental dedication to his grandfather, who he spent much of his childhood fishing with. “I bought a fishing boat—that was, like, the biggest purchase I’ve made,” Davis says. “It’s very unassuming, it’s nothing special at all. But I fell in love with fishing because of my grandfather. And I remember that first day thinking, ‘This is cool, man—I got this boat, and one day me and my son and my daughter can come fish, and then an overwhelming sadness came over me.”
While there’s a lot of introspection on Bluebird Days, there are moments of fun, evidenced on songs like “One Beer in Front of the Other” and the album’s opening track, “Damn Good Time.”
The album ends with the CMA award-winning, chart-topping Luke Bryan duet, “Buy Dirt,” which put some new pressure on the singer-songwriter. “There’s pressure, definitely,” he says in a statement. “It’s not about trying to recreate ‘Buy Dirt,’ but we can approach songs like we approached that one, and that’s to write something that people are going to feel, and not just hear…So, the best thing for me is that ‘Buy Dirt’ opened up a whole other lane of songs that I think people can really connect with.”
For Jordan Davis, Bluebird Days is an exceptional body of work, elevating him even further as a notch above the genre’s next class of superstars.

Lainey Wilson shares her rendition of The Rolling Stones’ classic hit song, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, out now. Listen here…
In honor of the 60th Anniversary of The Rolling Stones, country music is celebrating with a tribute album called Stoned Cold Country. Country artists celebrate the legacy of The Rolling Stones through fourteen distinct covers of some of their greatest hits.

One of the more popular songs in The Rolling Stones’ impressive catalog, Wilson gives the song the spotlight and the sass that it deserves. Her rendition is spot-on vocally and will appeal to fans both in and out of the genre.
Fans can expect the full-length album, Stoned Cold Country, coming later this year.

Jameson Rodgers shares two brand new songs,“Goin’ Crazy” and “Holding Me Back” out now, February 17th, on all streaming platforms. Listen here.
This week Jameson Rodgers kicks off his latest touring gig with none other than HARDY. While fans can look forward to that, Rodgers fans also get not one, but two brand new songs to jam to, out today. Both “Goin’ Crazy” and “Holding Me Back” are solid songs that we hope Rodgers adds to his set list.
“Goin’ Crazy” is a mid-tempo love song that hits all the right notes. Rodgers co-penned the track with HARDY, Zach Abend, and Josh Thompson. Lyrically, the song is the perfect spin on how crushing on someone can make you feel like you are going crazy.
“Hey y’all it ain’t what you think // Yeah, I’m goin’ out of my mind // But my heart ain’t feelin’ no pain // It’s beatin’ better than it has in a long time // Rock bottom ain’t where I’m at // Someone’s been rockin’ my world // I’m callin’ her baby, I’m goin’ crazy // ‘Cause I’m crazy ‘bout a girl”
On the contrary, “Holding Me Back” is a relatable break-up tune. Rodgers laments about how it can be difficult to move on when you still feel emotionally stuck in an old relationship. While conceptually a different concept than “Goin’ Crazy,” “Holding Me Back” feels cohesive with Rodgers’ impressive catalog of music.

“Cause girl I’m giving up on // Drinking as much as I used to // when I had you // Giving up on // Just saying I’m gonna change // I’ve given up on passing the blame // Everything // Made you walk out on what we had // But when it comes to wanting you back // I ain’t ever giving up on that”
Dover’s debut single is one that is a must-add to your music library. “Giving Up On That” is a clever song that will make a great radio single. Definitely keep your ears open for more Dover!

Walker County’s debut EP, No Smoke and Mirrors, is out now, February 10th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new project below and check out our full review.
Warner Music Nashville recording artists, Walker County are finally ready to make their major-label debut. The duo comprised of sisters, Ivy and Sophie Walker have been cultivating their artistry for years. Their brand new EP, No Smoke and Mirrors exemplifies that.
According to the songstresses, “’No Smoke and Mirrors’ is a look at every side of Walker County. We wanted to create an EP that represented the women we’ve grown to be through our 16 years of writing and playing music. You will hear us sing about love, heartbreak, good times and personal breakthroughs.”
The five song project kicks off with the song, “Stoned,” a taste of what’s to come on the rest of the project. “Mirror Mirror” is a slow-jam that features incredible story-telling lyrics. Any one who has ever dealt with self-esteem issues can relate to the heartfelt and honest song.
“Look her in the eyes and tell her she’s pretty // Give her a smile and let her know there ain’t thing she’s gotta change // Instead of breakin’ her hеart, maybe give her a brеak today // Mirror, mirror, I know you got a lot to say // You’ve seen every single tear // Now help her see the truth more clear // Mirror, mirror”
On “Between Boyfriends,” Walker County infuses more sass into their project. A perfect country anthem, the duo unapologetically sings about being a single lady in today’s landscape.
The sisters flip the script on the fourth song on the project, “Yours Tonight.” A more sentimental ballad, the single is the lyrical expression of what it’s like to want to be with someone that does not want all of you and just cannot commit.
“I’m not yours // Just yours tonight // I take whatever I can get // Even if it’s only this // And pretend that you’re mine // Keep believing that same old lie // It’s easy lying next to you // And it’s hard for mе to face the truth // That I’m not yours // Just yours tonight”
The record culminates with the touching song, “You and Jesus.” While every song on the project is clearly from their own life experiences, “You and Jesus” feels the most deeply personal. Walker County enlists the help of Greylan James on this fan-favorite track.
Overall, No Smoke and Mirrors is an exciting taste of what is to come for Walker County. Country fans should definitely keep them on their radar.
